The versions vary.
And campsites in the Grand Forks area are full this weekend. Picnic tables in the parks will fill to overflow. Earlier this week, the 113 camping places were mostly booked up in East Grand Forks at the Red River camping area operated by the Minnesota State Parks.
Turtle River State Park west of Grand Forks on U.S. Highway 2 has been full every weekend. All of the 98 campsites were booked for the weekend. And 11 or the 12 cabins were rented early this week, according to Larry Hagen, director of the North Dakota park.
Campers settle in for hiking, biking and holding picnics in the park.
Since the Fourth of July traditionally calls for potato salad, the Eatbeat finds a universal version among tried-and-true area recipes.
Old-fashioned potato salad
From a cookbook published almost 50 years ago by the Dakota Farmer comes typical ingredients of potato salad.
6 cups cooled, diced boiled potatoes
¼ cup finely chopped onion
1 tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper
1 tsp. celery seed
¼ cup vinegar
¼ cup sugar
9 hard boiled eggs, cut up
Salad dressing
Combine potatoes, onion, salt, pepper, celery seed, vinegar and sugar. Mix lightly. Add eggs. Add enough salad dressing to moisten.
Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies
This recipe used by many came long ago to the Eatbeat from the late Mrs. Art Link, when she was first lady of North Dakota.
2 cups of soft shortening
1 1/3 cups brown sugar
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. salt
3 cups flour
2 tsp. soda
4 cups oatmeal
4 6-ounce packages of chocolate chips
1 cup nutmeats
Mix and drop by spoonfuls on cookie sheet. Bake in 375-degree oven.
Sour cream rhubarb pie
Rhubarb is on the wane. It has its day in June, but, on a yellowed card, I keep this recipe from the late Luella McClure, a former neighbor.
Pour ½ cup sugar over 3 cups cut-up rhubarb in a 9-inch pie shell. Let it set.
Then mix:
1 cup sour cream
3 eggs
1/8 tsp. salt
¾ cup sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
Dash of cloves, if desired
Beat mixture until well blended. Pour over rhubarb and bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes. Then lower oven to 350 degrees and bake 40 minutes until mixture is firm.
