Source: Lilly Library, Frank M. Hohenberger Photograph Collection – “Graves of Wm. Couper’s wives, Aug. 29, 1910, 10:30 a.m. She was/but words are wanting to say what/Think what a wife should be/and she was that/.”

I’m starting a fun project at work, adding metadata to a collection of old photographs by Frank M. Hohenberger. The bulk of the photos were taken in this area, so they’re of local historical interest. I couldn’t resist searching for cemeteries and graves, and when I did, this one jumped out at me. The “title” comes directly from Hohenberger’s journals, so we have only him to blame for the fact that William Couper‘s wives were only significant for the fact that they were married to him. They apparently did not merit their own names. And look at how young they were when they died! Hellenea was 28 and Pamellia just 23.

Rice with Carrots and Green Onions

I love this stuff, and it’s super easy to make. It’s just rice cooked with carrots and green onions and seasoned with garlic, tamari or soy sauce, Szechuan sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and olive oil. You can add fresh parsley, too. Some folks lived on ramen noodles when they were in college. I lived on rice and popcorn.

And for variety, try frying it in a non-stick pan with a little olive oil, until brown and crispy.
