Living in an urbanized area would expose Ruth to more
harmful gases and especially particulates than I think
a properly adjusted gas appliance would. 

 SH> Shiso was a new one for me. Shiso might be quite hard to find.
 SH> Poppyseed oil might be available locally. I'll have to look.

Shiso used to be an important oil-producing plant in Asia
but was a casualty of Japanese expansionist asiprations.

War cake
cat: cake, salvage
yield: 1

2 c flour (white or whole wheat)
1/4 t soda
2 t baking powder
1/2 c shortening - bacon grease can be used, because of the
- spices which hide its taste
1 t cinnamon
1 t other spices (cloves, mace, ginger, etc.)
1 c chopped raisins or other dried fruits
1 c sugar, brown (or white)
1 c water

Sift flour, soda, and baking powder. Boil all other ingredients
together 5 min. Cool thoroughly. Add flour and mix well. Pour
into a greased loaf pan and bake at 325 for 45 min or until done.

 [during WWI] that I dreamed about it at night and
 which I have tried [during WWII] with practically
 the same results, can be whipped together and put
 in the oven with the ham and whatever else ...
