Coffee HAG

Aha! - found out what Coffee HAG is - wikipeadia had it -

The brand originated in Bremen in Germany in 1906 and took its name from the company title Kaffee Handels-Aktien-Gesellschaft, or Kaffee HAG for short.

Ship's final menu for June 21, 1952

This is the last one, the "farewell" dinner menu. There are 4 pictures, the front and back cover first, and then the inside two pages - it was too big to scan the outsides and insides as one shot each.

Ship menu's from June 14, 1952

In 1952, my parents emigrated to Canada, leaving from Rotterdam on the Ryndam, bound for New York, where they took the train into Canada and to British Columbia on the west coast.  Mom, even back then, collected stuff - and here are the menu cards she saved from the ship.  I'll post each day's worth individually.

This one is from lunch on June 14, 1952.

Happy New Year!

Yay!  A whole brand new year to play with!
First off, I treated myself to a brand new camera (a fuji) for Christmas - here are the first few pictures I took with it:

Christmas dinner - turkey, brussel sprouts, yams, turnip, and mushrooms (after starting with turkey soup), and a bowl of jicama root and mini sugar mandarins - yum!  The yams and mushrooms were baked with the turkey, the sprouts and the turnip were steamed and then buttered (and a little nutmeg on the turnip).  The turkey was baked, covered in bacon.
We tried the jicama root, just to see what it was like - not bad!  Sort of like a really crunchy pear.
