The Second Email We Sent Today, May 7, 2019

Good morning! The first email we send out on a Tuesday is the HMM WEEKLY PREMIUM NEWSLETTER, featuring content available only to the members, supporters, and patrons of Hmm Daily. You are on the Hmm Daily mailing list, but if our records are correct, you not among the members, supporters, or patrons, so you do not get the full newsletter experience. (Emphasis ours). We're certainly glad to correspond with you regardless, but if you'd like to read the complete HMM WEEKLY PREMIUM NEWSLETTER, please join our paying community. Thank you for your interest, and please spread the word about HMM DAILY DOT COM. We also haz Youtube, and we will figure out what to do with it, so go ahead and click the SUBSCRIBE button on that as a completely non-committal way to support our endeavors.



Hmm Weekly Premium Newsletter readers are now up to No. 15 in our series of 19 Folktales, "The Kettledrums."

LAST WEEK ON HMM DAILY


RECIPES

We present here for your continued amusement, delectation, and possible puzzlement four recipes for sandwiches, hand-picked from The Up-To-Date Sandwich Book: 400 Ways to Make a Sandwich, published in 1909 and now in the public domain. We ran out of sardine recipes. OR DID WE.

ROAST BEEF AND JAM SANDWICH
Between thin slices of lightly buttered white bread, place thin slices of cold roast beef; on top of this spread plum jam.

ROAST BEEF SANDWICH NO. 2
Between thin slices of buttered bread place thin slices of cold roast beef; spread this thinly with horseradish.

CHERRY SALAD SANDWICH
Remove stones from two cups of cherries, add one-half of English walnuts and two stalks of celery that have been chopped fine; add enough mayonnaise to moisten; place between thin slices of lightly buttered white bread. Garnish with a cherry.

PICNIC SANDWICH
A pound of raw beef through the meat chopper; a teacupful of bread crumbs, pepper and salt to taste; mix with a well-beaten egg, and form into a roll.
