Subject: A quest for a song
Dear Uncle Phaedrus,
First I must tell you what a wonderful service and website you have created.
Many kudos and much thanks. I have a request for you if you are able. There
was a song we sang in school when I was a child, in the 70s sometime, that I
would love to share with my children I would be ever so grateful if you could
help me locate the title and lyrics to this song. I remember parts of the verses,
it goes as follows:
"High on a rocky ledge I build my wigwam
Close by the waters edge.....
Blue lakes and rocky shores I will return once more
Where still the mighty moose wanders at will
Blue lakes and rocky shores I will return once more
Those are the only bits I remember, could you please help?? Thank you!!
Yours truly,
Leah

Hello Leah,
The song is "Land of the Silver Birch", and it is a traditional Canadian folk song.
It's often sung around campfires.
The different versions of the lyrics are here:

Dear Uncle Phaedrus,
You are amazing!!! Thank you so very much! I never expected such a prompt reply.
To be honest I never thought you would be able to find it, I had searched high and
low and all to no avail. You are absolutely amazing! Keep up the fantastic work you
do! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!!
Yours truly,
Leah

Subject: Cheeseburger soup
Dear Sir,
I am looking for a recipe for cheeseburger soup that has chopped tomatoes and lettuce
in it. I ate this soup at a resturant in both New York state and Orlando Fl. Neither
place will give out the recipe I've found lots of recipes for Cheeseburger Soup, but
none have the tomatoes and lettuce in it. The lettuce is whats throwing me off. What
do they do to the lettuce to keep it from turning to mush.
Thank You
Linda in Pa.
Hi Linda,
There are recipes here:

chocolatechipotle
The key is to keep the lettuce and tomatoes crisp and don't add them until
just before serving.

Hi Stephanie,
According to the copies that I have of the Hershey's Cocoa can labels, the
fudge recipe below was on the can from 1947 until 1974. Even then, the only
change in the ingredients that was made in 1974 (until at least 1992) was that
the butter amount was changed from "4 1/2 tbsp. butter" to "1/4 cup butter".
Phaed
Hershey's Cocoa Fudge
2/3 c. Hershey's cocoa
3 c. sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. milk
4 1/2 tbsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
(1) Combine cocoa with sugar and salt. (2) Add milk; bring to a boil,
stirring frequently. (3) Cook until a small amount of mixture forms a soft
ball when dropped in cold water. (4) Remove from heat; drop in butter. Cool
to lukewarm; add vanilla and beat until mixture thickens. (5) Pour into
buttered pan and cut in squares.
