This recipe is from Hillsborough County school lunchroom managers collection of recipes.
The lot was gathered in a 1966 book, ‘A Book for Cooking’. Many of the recipes are from meals made and served back when full meals were made and served to children at our Florida schools.
I can not find where this book is available at this time.
This is part of the Swampy’s Florida cook book collection.

During Swampy’s hundreds of years of life he has met and helped many. Including James K. Polk as he visited Florida and was considering to run for president. Polk became president and gave his inauguration address March 4th, 1845.
Due to this being the day after Florida became a state, the action spurred a new county to name itself after the president. So came about Polk County.

A little person with a big hat stands atop this locomotive ran that between 1889 until 1895 from Jupiter to Juno.
The railroad was named the Celestial Railroad. It’s name came as two other rail stops between Jupiter and Lake Worth were named Mars and Venus. The train would start at Jupiter and then chug to Mars and then to Venus. But there was one problem. There was no way to turn around.
So, the Celestial Railroad had to run backwards all the way back to Jupiter.
Not sure if the little girl is on the train is coming…or going.

Trilby’s view of Swampy arriving on the scene, after the harrowing nightmare of wild pumpkins, black cats and candy corn, is that of viewing the arrival of a saint.

The 1954 film, ‘Creature from the Black Lagoon’, is not known for it’s Florida location shots. However, the underwater scenes were shot in, what is now, Ed Ball Wakulla Springs State Park thirty minutes south of Tallahasasee. The underwater shots of The Gill-Man were shot at the springs due to the clearness of the spring water.
Fort Pierce native Ricou Browning wore the underwater version of The Gill-Man suit and actress Ginger Stanley doubled for Julie Adams as the lady in distress underwater.
I could write for hours about and all that came from it involving film in Florida. It was a real wake up call to the silly idea of making films in Florida and occasionally has been massively ignored just to have reality stop the silliness and the film folks go away again.
I need to do a podcast about this.
