Recipe for Blarney Puffs published in the Milwaukee Sentinel, March 1979. Need a way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? Try making some “Blarney Puffs!” I’m really not sure what’s specifically Irish about this recipe. Sounds a lot like Yorkshire pudding to me. via: Historic Recipe File, Milwaukee Public Library

Portrait of Daniel Webster Hoan as a young man, probably Waukesha or Milwaukee, Wisconsin. On this day in 1881, Daniel Webster Hoan was born in Waukesha. Hoan went on to become Milwaukee’s second Socialist mayor. First elected in 1916, he served a record 24 consecutive years in office.  According to the information provided by the Milwaukee Public Library, Hoan “worked his way through the state university by washing dishes and doing other jobs,” which may explain why he’s sharpening a knife and wearing a butcher’s apron in this photo. via: Milwaukee Mayors, Milwaukee Public Library
