3Grand Hotel OloffsonBBBTravelHotels

Grand Hotel Oloffson
Haitian fresh fish in coconut cream: Put two cups of grated coconut in cheesecloth over a bowl. Pour a cup of hot milk over it, and squeeze it dry. Repeat this with two more cups of hot milk. The stuff in the bowl is the sauce. Mix a pound of sliced onions, a teaspoon of salt, a half teaspoon of black pepper, and a teaspoon of crushed pepper. Saute the mixture in butter until soft but not brown. Add four pounds of fresh fish chunks, and cook them for about a minute on each side. Pour the sauce over the fish, cover the pan, and simmer for ten minutes. Uncover the pan and baste the fish until it is done - and the sauce has become creamy. Serves eight vaguely disgruntled guests at the Grand Hotel Oloffson.

Midland City Rod And Gun Club
At dawn on Mother's Day, while Mother was still asleep, Father and Felix and I went out to the rifle range of the Midland County Rod and Gun Club, as we had done at least a hundred times before. It was a Sunday-morning ritual, this discharging of firearms. Although I was only twelve, I had fired rifles and pistols and shotguns of every kind. And there were plenty of other fathers and sons, blazing away and blazing away.

The Mildred Barry Memorial Center for the Arts
Reverend Harrell said it was sad that Celia had not lived to see the completion of the Mildred Barry Memorial Center for the Arts in Sugar Creek, but that her performance in Katmandu was proof that the arts were important in Midland City before the center was built. He declared that the most important arts centers a city could have were human beings, not buildings. He called attention to me again. "There in the back sits an arts center named 'Rudy Waltz,' " he said.

St. Elmo's Remedy
Quack medicine. It was a grain alcohol dyed purple, flavored with cloves and sarsparilla root, and laced with opium and cocaine. As the joke goes: it was absolutely harmless unless discontinued.

17Waltz Brothers Drug CompanyBBBHealthcareMedical Companies

Waltz Brothers Drug Company
It was soda fountains as much as the Depression that wrecked the Waltz Brothers chain. Pharmacists have no business being in the food business, too. Leave the food business to those who know and love it. One of Father's favorite jokes, I remember, was about the boy who flunked out of pharmacy school. He didn't know how to make a club sandwich.
