She addressed her crowd with the thought that Chester County had more than its share of fine old mansions as well as many smaller, simpler but stately country properties abounding in our environs. She continued with the fact that our beautiful properties were meticulously and carefully restored and well known and filled with antiques and family treasures that would be admired by those who would buy a ticket to attend such an event . She also stated the idea that “Our historic past can be a stepping stone for our present needs and why not consider a tour sponsored by the four Chester County based hospitals?” After a round of questions, benefits and doubts, the County President at the time, Mrs. Arthur T. Parke, took matters into her hands and appointed Mrs. William A. Limberger, President of the West Chester Branch Auxiliary to explore the idea some more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/fa96685d-314b-4b97-b844-70b6ca1545e5/IMG_2514.jpeg Articles - And, to Think! - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.chestercountyday.com/articles/fourth-of-july-trivia monthly 0.5 2025-06-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/b4c71a10-ea2b-4190-a0e2-461693a0abeb/Liberty+Bell.jpeg Articles - Fourth of July Trivia - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.chestercountyday.com/articles/findingahouse-9c66t monthly 0.5 2025-06-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/8084e56e-63bd-4080-832d-dc7d3c10581a/image-asset.jpg Articles - How to Find A Chester County Day House - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/1713303407171-ZWAJFYLA9B7EEPMWSMMY/image-asset.jpeg Articles - How to Find A Chester County Day House - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/c19dcef8-b233-4c9c-be6e-57d4bc0bb095/AdobeStock_559833735_Editorial_Use_Only.jpeg Articles - How to Find A Chester County Day House - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.chestercountyday.com/articles/did-you-know monthly 0.5 2025-06-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/c1428871-b7b6-4a2a-82c5-448e2d1e0ced/Charles+Lindbergh.jpeg Articles - Did You Know? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.chestercountyday.com/articles/anbsp-collection-of-day-books monthly 0.5 2025-06-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/76989127-42c4-40d4-b026-29654d5e3d30/IMG_2475.jpg Articles - A Collection of “DAY” books - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/f9f89b2c-23dc-498c-aa3e-3b24e9f807ff/IMG_2476.jpeg Articles - A Collection of “DAY” books - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/37481b51-3659-4081-ac9c-f69eb0505fab/IMG_2477.jpeg Articles - A Collection of “DAY” books - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.chestercountyday.com/articles/saint-patricks-day monthly 0.5 2025-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/e053a7dd-3e19-4e64-be6a-7bed5d1041ab/antiquecheckers.jpeg Articles - Saint Patrick’s Day - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/1740852808957-FJC97MES9Q9DUPGU2XLQ/unsplash-image-ShYMxs2daKE.jpg Articles - Saint Patrick’s Day - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.chestercountyday.com/articles/how-the-fox-hunt-became-part-of-the-chester-county-day-tradition monthly 0.5 2025-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/0b4c2b53-566a-4c89-9964-d1e27660ed57/IMG_4283.jpg Articles - How the fox hunt became part of the Chester County Day Tradition - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/cf80321c-e4a5-4c18-9221-62dbaa48a614/Lady+DSC05627.jpg Articles - How the fox hunt became part of the Chester County Day Tradition - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.chestercountyday.com/articles/early-lighting monthly 0.5 2025-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/bec1e133-d382-4255-a678-d57ef871b9ac/IMG_2210+%281%29.jpg Articles - Early Lighting - During the holiday season we pass by many homes, either old or new, and the proverbial single electric candle illuminates the window. Do we know the colonial meaning of this practice? Do we even really know the background of the candle and its purpose for our forebearers? Let’s start with the basic fact that much to our amazement, the average household, be it Chester County or anywhere in the 18 th Century, had maybe two whole candles to burn per week. What you say, “Is that all?” Here is some background into this odd fact. Let’s start with the candle itself which was hand made and a time consuming project. The most time consuming task involved tying a cut piece of wick onto a dowel or stick and dipping it into a vat of molten wax. This took a deep pot and a lot of time and wax to make a candle of some length. Or, one could have used a candle mold which was made of tin and came in various sizes. This was a similar procedure as a wick was secured to a stick or dowel and positioned over the hole in the candle mold. One had to initially dip the wicked rod into the molten wax to make the string wick straight and center it over each hole in the mold. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/1740346089416-RPQ1ZZ2XWNLEX670MXT1/unsplash-image-UrAKbpKnak8.jpg Articles - Early Lighting - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/58f860e9-663f-488d-b10c-a9dd658e052f/Beeswax+Candles.jpeg Articles - Early Lighting - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.chestercountyday.com/articles/the-etiquette-of-formal-calls monthly 0.5 2025-02-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/6834b9cd-404c-4e0f-a650-539c6587f347/CCD2025+Etiquette+Image.jpg Articles - The Etiquette of Formal Calls - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.chestercountyday.com/articles/chester-county-post-offices monthly 0.5 2025-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/29778ff1-c954-49a1-8086-eff8cd608ebf/Avondale+post+office.jpg Articles - Chester County Post Offices - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/b4d69e0e-40bb-4d9f-9070-2bd304aab623/Post+office.jpg Articles - Chester County Post Offices - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.chestercountyday.com/articles/a-chester-county-barn monthly 0.5 2024-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/d9f1106a-9f65-4bc1-8cfe-133f7d69be35/Our+Heritage+%284+x+6+in%29.png Articles - A Chester County Barn - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/1723403442251-86CI0F4MEBU7FEUIWX8Q/unsplash-image-tj3RmNxFL44.jpg Articles - A Chester County Barn - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.chestercountyday.com/articles/findingahouse monthly 0.5 2025-06-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/8084e56e-63bd-4080-832d-dc7d3c10581a/image-asset.jpg Articles - Finding A House - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/1713303407171-ZWAJFYLA9B7EEPMWSMMY/image-asset.jpeg Articles - Finding A House - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/c19dcef8-b233-4c9c-be6e-57d4bc0bb095/AdobeStock_559833735_Editorial_Use_Only.jpeg Articles - Finding A House - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.chestercountyday.com/articles/who-would-believe-it monthly 0.5 2023-08-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/71df9746-9593-4364-8fab-08d333fa5a9c/Fall+at+Anselma.jpg Articles - Who Would Believe It?? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/cc2e7ee0-b199-4e18-b5fa-4cb3eee2c24b/Phone.jpg Articles - Who Would Believe It?? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.chestercountyday.com/articles/the-kimberton-train-station monthly 0.5 2023-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/d13f7b2c-7949-4316-b4a7-3d42c2d1f7d7/Lowesgroup5_0010.jpg Articles - The Kimberton Train Station - Make it stand out The historic Kimberton Train Station.

That is the case of a long-ago Marshallton resident, Nathaniel “Nathan” L. Simms, and his connection or lack thereof to events surrounding the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. Depending on which account you read, Simms, a freed slave (or was he born free?) is purported to have held John Wilkes Booth’s horse at Mary Surratt’s hotel in Maryland after Lincoln’s assassination. Or some reports claim he held Booth’s horse at Ford’s Theater in Washington, DC? See what I mean? Accounts of Simms’ actions after President Lincoln’s assassination of April 14, 1865, are riddles wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, with one report stating one thing and another stating something else. However, for an event that many questioned even happened, there are certainly plenty of accounts and reports of it from sources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/a770d149-100b-4580-b468-4448043f7776/Picture2.jpg Articles - Fact, Fiction or a Bit of Both - While we know some details of Simm’s life, his resting place in death is unclear. According to a January 19, 1934 Philadelphia Ledger article and an article in the Coatesville Record the same day, Simms “died this week and was buried yesterday… He was buried in potter’s field of the Chester County Home for the Poor at Embreeville”, which became the Embreeville State Hospital. However, a Daily Local News article that same day in 1934, and an Oxford Press article Jan. 25, states Simms was buried in Bradford Cemetery in Marshallton. (That potter’s field, according to Asylum Projects (http://www.asylumprojects.org, keyword Embreeville State Hospital), is now part of the Cheslen Preserve outside the now-closed Embreeville State Hospital grounds.

When Edward Clayton, Thomas Arnold, and George Martin received their Penn land grants in 1713-1716, they found that they had been awarded an area of very fertile land in a strategic location now known as “Between the Brandywines.” They quickly began their settlement in the region aided in the early years by the farming and hunting information that the Delaware, the original inhabitants of the Marshallton area, shared with the European settlers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/f5577e46-4f67-4d8c-bce7-7194e9c3992a/Picture1.jpg Articles - The Village of Marshallton - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.chestercountyday.com/articles/the-year-of-fountains monthly 0.5 2022-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/e7b31000-4b34-41e4-9961-a0098089401a/Screen+Shot+2022-05-11+at+1.53.23+PM.png Articles - The Year of Fountains In the past year, Chester County has experienced the opening of two historic fountains in its public areas. We have the magnificent $90 million restoration of the fountains at Longwood Gardens, which have reopened this past late spring /early summer to raves of grandeur. You can see the shrubbery and the fountain apparatus when you attend the Preview Party of the Chester County Day Tour on October 6th at Longwood, but the main fountains will not be displayed after the Preview Lectures. The other fountain which is being celebrated this year, and in conjunction with Chester County Day, is the fountain at Marshall Square Park. The fountain there has been returned to its original position in the park after being gone about 65 years. https://www.chestercountyday.com/articles/a-history-of-the-windsor-style monthly 0.5 2022-05-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/ee6b5a56-529e-44b4-a132-8937e7df4698/Screen+Shot+2022-05-04+at+10.41.05+AM.png Articles - A History of the Windsor Style - When Roger Sherman, a Connecticut cobbler, a statesman, and the only man of his time to sign the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Association, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution of the United States; sat for his portrait by Ralph Earl, he chose a Philadelphia low-back Windsor chair in which to be seated. When the First Continental Congress met at Carpenters’ Hall in Philadelphia on September 5, 1774, Windsor armchairs furnished the room for that historic occasion. https://www.chestercountyday.com/articles/mary-cassatt-called-west-chester-home monthly 0.5 2022-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/85269b20-e342-4e3b-97c7-8f54efa51ae4/cassatt.jpg Articles - Mary Cassatt Called West Chester Home https://www.chestercountyday.com/articles/300th-anniversary-of-the-colonial-iron-industry-in-chester-county monthly 0.5 2022-04-21 https://www.chestercountyday.com/articles/nbspnbsp-houses-with-a-past monthly 0.5 2022-04-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/3e2f7724-2438-4569-954b-3bf801cb473b/monticello.jpeg Articles -    HOUSES WITH A PAST - Make it stand out Image courtesy of monticello.org https://www.chestercountyday.com/articles/a-welcome-back-by-marmaduke-wyvil monthly 0.5 2022-04-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/63bb5b19-99ff-4e49-87bc-21b78604baa8/LowndesTaylorFarmbyBassOtis.jpg Articles - A Welcome Back to Chester County Day 2013 - Make it stand out Lowndes Taylor Farm by Bass Otis, 1893 https://www.chestercountyday.com/articles/whatever-happened-to-henry-whale monthly 0.5 2022-04-05 https://www.chestercountyday.com/articles/more-than-a-public-park monthly 0.5 2022-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/1e1fd274-350b-46e0-85c4-caa73fea8323/fountainwchs.jpg Articles - More Than a Public Park - Zoo, arboretum, plant nursery, reservoir, concert venue, public rallying place! Hard to believe all this was once packed into 5.5 acres on the highest point of ground in West Chester. Marshall Square Park has a rich history that includes Revolutionary War heroes, Civil War soldiers, philanthropists, a 1901 controversy that would make present-day environmentalists blanch, local drunks, young lovers, and nature enthusiasts. The history of Marshall Square Park even involves Chester County Hospital; the park was visible from hospital windows when the first hospital, a 10-bed dispensary, was built on the north side of East Marshall Street in 1892. Newspaper articles of the day recount patients sitting under the trees enjoying the peacefulness of the park. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/950a2738-1dd6-4469-8c6d-f0c77b006cc8/FullSizeRender+%286%29.jpg Articles - More Than a Public Park - Despite this meddling, the park survived and by 1909 an arc electric light system illuminated new plants, trees and flowers, its zoo and 65 bright red benches and summer seats. Eventually, a playground, basketball and volleyball courts were added to the park. In 2001, the Friends of Marshall Square Park formed to support and restore the park to its early glory. They have renovated the Swiss cottage and restored the elaborate 5-tier fountain at the northeast corner. This fountain, first installed in 1889 with a ball mechanism that caused alternating patterns of water spray, was removed from the park around the 1950s, stored in the borough maintenance yard and then disappeared. Years later it resurfaced as a sculptural piece on a farm in Westtown Township; then was purchased by a homeowner for his estate just outside West Chester. The fountain was displayed on his property for several years, but after he sold the house, new owners dismantled and stored it behind a barn. Learning of this, the park organization offered to take it off the owners’ hands, recovering 3 of the fountain’s 5 bowls. A fourth had to be reconstructed because no one knows what happened to it. The fifth bowl, which is 8 feet across had been buried at the site of the original fountain, as was the pool that surrounded the fountain. So once again, the newly restored, lighted fountain dances “merrily in that shady retreat,” as it was described in a 1932 article in the Daily Local News. https://www.chestercountyday.com/articles/the-bondsville-mill monthly 0.5 2022-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/9dbeedde-ebd4-4b19-ae96-adb1375113eb/Screen+Shot+2022-03-09+at+4.08.50+PM.png Articles - The Bondsville Mill - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.chestercountyday.com/articles/whichwaydidtheygo monthly 0.5 2021-08-30 https://www.chestercountyday.com/articles/of-prisoners-and-potters-fields monthly 0.5 2021-08-23 https://www.chestercountyday.com/articles/blog-post-the-bowman-tiles-chestercountyhospital monthly 0.5 2021-08-16 https://www.chestercountyday.com/articles/drwilliamdarlington monthly 0.5 2021-08-22 https://www.chestercountyday.com/articles/blog-post-ordinary-corundum monthly 0.5 2021-08-01 https://www.chestercountyday.com/ccdfoodblog daily 0.75 2024-04-18 https://www.chestercountyday.com/ccdfoodblog/carrot-parsnipgingersoup-bz3jt monthly 0.5 2024-04-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/6bfa66bc-a640-4368-83f4-ec1b72436c11/Apple+Cobbler.jpg The Chester County Day Menu - Apple Cobbler with Dried Cranberries - Ingredients: 3 pounds Braeburn or Jonagold apples, cored, peeled, and sliced into ¼ inch slices ¾ cup REAL maple syrup ¾ cup dried, sweetened cranberries 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice 2 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into cubes 1 tablespoon coarse raw sugar for crust Pre-heat oven to 350 and position racks in bottom half of oven.

Brush a 9-inch pie plate or straight-sided skillet with melted butter. Unroll the phyllo sheets in a stack, trim as needed. Place one sheet of phyllo in the pie plate and brush with more butter. Continue layering the phyllo sheets so they form overlapping circles, brushing each layer with more butter as you go. To make the filling: Preheat the oven to 350°.

Do not allow to set up and “gel”. While it is cooling, have your workstation set up and ready to whip the cream cheese mixture. Using a hand or stand mixer whip cream cheese with the lemon oil and half of the lemon zest. Add the sugar and incorporate until smooth. Pour the cooling lemon filling into the cream cheese mixture and with a rubber spatula lightly stir the two fillings together to blend. In a rectangular serving dish, place a layer of dried lady fingers on the bottom of the dish and brush each one with some of the fresh lemon juice. Add about 1/3 of the lemon mixture on top of the ladyfingers and spread to cover all. Add the rest of your lemon zest to the whipped topping in its container and mix in gently. Then spoon on about 1/3 of the whipped topping over top of the lemon mixture which is covering the ladyfingers brushed with fresh lemon juice. Add another layer of lemon juice brushed ladyfingers on that followed by another 1/3 of the lemon mixture and a layer of whipped topping. Put a final layering of all three to finish out each bowl of ingredients. Top with lemon zest or ladyfinger crumbs. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours to let the ladyfingers soften. This can be made a day ahead to really infuse the flavors. https://www.chestercountyday.com/ccdfoodblog/moms1964poundcake monthly 0.5 2022-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/1647641287206-X2GXKXPRSMDYD631HXH0/1964%2BBundt%2BCake%2B54273306.jpg The Chester County Day Menu - Mom’s 1964 Pound Cake - Mom’s 1964 Pound Cake Mom’s 1964 Pound Cake Recipe - shared with permission from the Greystone Auxiliary’s Chester County Hospital “Family” Cookbook https://www.chestercountyday.com/sponsors-2025 daily 0.75 2025-07-16 https://www.chestercountyday.com/sponsors-2025/Blog Post Title One-xdzrl monthly 0.5 2025-07-14 https://www.chestercountyday.com/sponsors-2025/gold-stoney-bank-nurseries monthly 0.5 2025-07-14 https://www.chestercountyday.com/sponsors-2025/blog-post-title-two-pw5j4 monthly 0.5 2025-07-14 https://www.chestercountyday.com/sponsors-2025/blog-post-title-three-459xz monthly 0.5 2025-07-14 https://www.chestercountyday.com/sponsors-2025/blog-post-title-four-a286c monthly 0.5 2025-07-14 https://www.chestercountyday.com/contactus daily 0.75 2021-08-01 https://www.chestercountyday.com/volunteer daily 0.75 2025-07-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/2f6da358-cf41-4301-ba88-88b3344634ae/Untitled.jpg Volunteer - Hundreds of volunteers make Chester County Day a reality.

Fall Pumpkin Soup 2 to 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil ¾ cup dry pasta cooked al dente as suggested above 1 bunch of green onions chopped- white and greens 1 teaspoon toasted coriander seeds Pinch of garlic powder – not garlic salt 1 teaspoon cinnamon ½ teaspoon sea or kosher salt ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 quart unsalted or no salt added chicken or vegetable stock. 2 cans (16 ounce) cans of drained and rinsed black beans 1 can pumpkin puree- not pumpkin pie mixture! Chop up left over store roasted chicken or turkey to add if you want. In a large soup pot over medium high heat, add olive oil and heat until it shines. Add the green onions and cook until wilted, stirring occasionally. Then add cinnamon, coriander, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Stir to coat with the hot oil and toast mixture until it become fragrant, a few minutes. Add your vegetable or chicken stock and bring the pot’s contents to a boil. Add the black beans and the pumpkin puree and incorporate well and lower heat to a simmer and cover. Add your pasta choice. Check cook time as to pasta. Ditalini will be twice the time of pastina in cooking. I would guess 10 to 15 minutes to simmer. Add your precooked poultry if you are going to include this in the dish. Pull from heat and let sit for a few minutes and then adjust salt and pepper if needed to taste. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/e1f23774-aa9b-46fc-95d7-5459c7fed9ff/Onion+Medley+with+Pasta.jpeg Chester County Day Menu - Pasta with Onion Medley Sauce 1-pound yellow onions chopped 1-pound red onions chopped 1 cup chopped shallots 2 bunches of fresh scallions -white and green chopped ½ pound of carefully washed and thinly sliced leeks ½ cup unsalted butter 1 ½ cups Italian seasoned breadcrumbs Salt and pepper 1 cup grated and dried Italian cheese of your choice (Romano/ Pecorino/Asiago) 2 pounds of pasta ½ pound thick sliced bacon cut into small pieces (optional) Start with a large heavy iron skillet and go one of two ways on medium high heat. If you want the bacon, then add just the bacon to the hot pan and start to cook it stirring the pieces so as not to burn it. If you are not using the bacon, then add the butter to the pan and melt. If you use the bacon, cook thoroughly, and drain pieces on a paper towel. Leave the renderings in the pan. Now you have melted butter or bacon renderings in the hot pan into which you will add the white and red chopped onions. Stir and cook until just wilted which should be about 15 minutes. At that point, add the shallots and sliced leeks and do the same thing stirring to wilt but not heavily brown. This step should be 10 minutes. When that mixture starts to caramelize, finally add in the scallions and stir until well mixed. This whole process should take about 25 to 30 minutes on medium high heat. You want to caramelize the onions not cook them until they get brown and dark in spots. If you did use the bacon and there appears to be an ample amount of bacon rendering still not absorbed by the onions, drain some of that off too. If you did not use the bacon and the onions have absorbed most of the butter, then add another tablespoon or two of butter to the warm pan. Begin to cook the pasta until al dente. As the pasta is finishing, add some salt and pepper and a healthy pinch of seasoned Italian Herbs to the seasoned breadcrumbs. Drain the pasta and put into a large sized serving bowl. (Do not rinse your pasta if you are going to use all of it right away. If you do not use all of it in the dish, then rinse so it can be used for another meal). Add the onion mixture to the hot pasta and then sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture in with that and final top with the grated cheese. Stir to incorporate all and serve. Should serve 8 -after that heavy soup first course. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/bd015682-ff56-4900-a6ca-c45b73c496c0/Chocolate+Merinque+Pie.jpeg Chester County Day Menu - Campfire Pie CRUST 10 whole chocolate graham crackers finely ground in a food processor or finely mashed in a zip lock bag 2 tablespoons heavy cream 4 tablespoons Nutella 2 ounces melted dark chocolate 1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter GANACHE 16 ounces semisweet or dark chocolate finely chopped 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 ¼ cup heavy cream 3 tablespoons instant espresso/ coffee granules.

Place the cream and 3 tablespoons of water and the instant coffee/ espresso into a small saucepan, stir to incorporate and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Stir into the set aside bowl of chocolate and butter and stir until well mixed and all is melted. Pour into the chilled crust and return to the refrigerator for an hour or two. Now to the topping. If you want to make a meringue top, take the egg whites and the sugar and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add sugar in 1/3 cup at a time and beat well between added sugar. Beat until the whites are stiff and shiny. Spread over the top of the chilled pie and either using a torch, toast the meringue or place in the oven under the broiler and carefully watch as it gets a golden-brown finish. OR you could use a pre-made whipped topping or marshmallow fluff as a topping. With a hot cup of coffee, this will be a winner!! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/1648579013293-QGKACCK5GARZ6EU6CCEY/LemonIceBoxDessert.jpeg Chester County Day Menu - Lemon Ice Box Dessert 1 prepared box of Dr. Oetker’s Lemon Pie and Dessert Filling 2 egg yolks 1 tbsp. salted butter 1/3 cup cold water 2 cups boiling water 8 ounces of cream cheese at room temperature ½ teaspoon Lemon Oil Juice from the 2 fresh lemons Zest from 2 fresh lemons 3 tablespoons of confectioners’ sugar 1 small container of whipped topping 1 tablespoon of dried lemon peel 2 packages of dried ladyfingers Make the Lemon Filling from the box according to the directions and set aside to allow to cool for 3 to 5 minutes. Do not allow to set up and “gel”. While it is cooling, have your workstation set up and ready to whip the cream cheese mixture. Using a hand or stand mixer whip cream cheese with the lemon oil and half of the lemon zest. Add the sugar and incorporate until smooth. Pour the cooling lemon filling into the cream cheese mixture and with a rubber spatula lightly stir the two fillings together to blend. In a rectangular serving dish, place a layer of dried lady fingers on the bottom of the disk and brush each one with some of the fresh lemon juice. Add about 1/3 of the lemon mixture on top of the ladyfingers and spread to cover all. Add the rest of your lemon zest to the whipped topping in its container and mix in gently. Then spoon on about 1/3 of the whipped topping over top of the lemon mixture which is covering the ladyfingers brushed with fresh lemon juice. Add another layer of lemon juice brushed ladyfingers on that followed by another 1/3 of the lemon mixture and a layer of whipped topping. Put a final layering of all three to finish out each bowl of ingredients. Top with lemon zest or ladyfinger crumbs. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours to let the ladyfingers soften. This can be made a day ahead to really infuse the flavors. https://www.chestercountyday.com/about daily 0.75 2025-08-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/36f611ee-ed6e-454a-b1e8-ec077088dfd5/WA_formal_vertical.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/1684685089353-MPD3TTQNJSPJTHJPE215/IMG_6748.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/1684685097187-ACQFUOSL7373KRZ09DZV/DSC08425.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/1684685095548-5XM14DONSO54WSHZS6JX/golf.jpeg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/1684685166201-0MCK36LW6T6ZYPRRIK01/7BE48215-48E8-4D80-9D41-984FD15E00C4.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/1684685364617-XH78VV2OCCC5YHXBKXOE/DSC08423.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/1684685097793-NNQEPOTEJU8PYRF2OXOF/IMG_6413.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/1684685364527-ZAD9NIBE14NBC5YUFOA9/IMG_0614.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/1684685366927-U92YSCU2H6Y6Z7AYWA9A/IMG_6410.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/1684685367390-BEYT9ITYT3R5AI50FSZY/IMG_6411.jpg About https://www.chestercountyday.com/ccd-dinner-menu-2025 daily 0.75 2025-06-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/6fdc2bfc-26af-4cd1-9fc7-0786d7ef0108/Tomato+soup.png CCD Dinner Menu 2025 - Creamy Tomato Soup 7 cups of peeled, seeded, and chopped fresh tomatoes (about 4 to 5 pounds) 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 2 cups chopped sweet onions 1 cup chopped shallots 1 cup shredded carrots 1 teaspoon sugar ½ cup light cream or half and half ½ cup chopped fresh Italian Parsley (flat leaf variety not curly) 1 rib of chopped celery 64 ounces of chicken / vegetable broth In a large soup pot, heat the oil and then add the onions, shallots and carrots until wilted and soft. To the onions and carrots add about a third of the tomatoes and sprinkle the sugar over the mixture. Cook and stir until the mixture starts to thicken as one has cooked the moisture out of the soup base. Sprinkle the flour on the tomato mixture and stir in well to cook the flour taste out. Add the parsley and celery and the rest of the tomatoes and cook and stir for about ten minutes to maintain a somewhat thick base. Add the rest of the broth, turn the heat down to medium and lid the pot and let simmer for 20 to 30 minutes. Check occasionally to see that it is simmering and not in a rolling boil. Add the cream at that point and stir in and let sit for ten or fifteen minutes to incorporate the flavors. Either use an immersion blender or food processor to completely puree the contents of the pot. Add salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste and serve immediately or let it come to room temperature and then refrigerate to serve the next day if you make it the day ahead. Should make about 2 ½ quarts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/1750254920735-JRW9ZR9PMCYA6ZA4KOUS/unsplash-image-hliU-U3mh_k.jpg CCD Dinner Menu 2025 - Root Vegetable Fritters 1 cup peeled and grated carrot 1 cup peeled and grated turnips 1 cup washed and grated parsnip 1 cup grated sweet potato (I use the white variety) 3 eggs 3 cups sifted flour 2 teaspoons baking soda 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 ¾ teaspoon salt ¾ teaspoon cinnamon ¾ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg ½ cup sugar or honey (for a sweet variation) ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract ½ cup half and half Oil or vegetable shortening for cooking 2 pats of butter Sift together in one good sized bowl the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. In a separate bowl mix the wet ingredients to include the 3 eggs, the vanilla and milk and whisk together. If you want a sweeter fritter, add the sugar or honey after the eggs and before the milk and vanilla. If you are going with savory, skip the addition of the honey. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet whisked ones and finally add in the grated vegetables and stir together. I would suggest a good sized iron skillet for cooking, but use what you have. Place the skillet on high heat and when the pan is hot add some oil and butter to the hot pan and stir until the butter has melted. This combination of fats will usually help not burn your fritter as they cook. With a serving spoon, drop the batter into the hot fat and shape the fritter into a small pancake shape. Cook until the bottom starts to brown and the edges look crispy and then carefully flip them over to cook the other side. They need to cook long enough to make the root vegetables soft so I would say 8 to 10 minutes should do it for both sides. You can serve them as is with salt and pepper or drizzle them with Maple syrup if you have gone with the sweeter versions. This should easily make between 12 and 15 fritters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/1750254992016-ZAYRXKCU2QL7KJ9D1EEM/unsplash-image-9jdyCy-bMC4.jpg CCD Dinner Menu 2025 - Farro Stew with Garbanzo Beans 6 cups of drained and rinsed no salt added garbanzo beans 1 cup of dry pearled Farro 7 cups of homemade or canned vegetable or chicken broth Tablespoons olive oil 2 medium sized red onions diced (for the color) – you can use white or yellow onions 2 fresh unpeeled carrots washed and then diced 3 ribs of chopped celery using the greens from the top if available 2 cans (14.5 ounce each) unsalted diced or chopped tomatoes 2 sprigs fresh rosemary of a ½ teaspoon dry rosemary 1 teaspoon of Pink sea salt ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 4 cups of chopped baby spinach, fresh kale or chopped rainbow swiss chard 1 cup of freshly grated Smoked Gouda cheese or Parmigiano- Reggiano if you want to keep the Mediterranean integrity! Combine 1 ½ cups of the chickpeas and 1 cup of the broth in a food processor to form a smooth puree and set aside. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a good sized soup pot. When the oil begins to shine in the heated pan add the diced carrots, onions and celery and cook until they become softened which will take 8 to 10 minutes. Stir often so as not to let them brown. Add to that the rest of the chickpeas, the broth, the tomatoes and their juices, the rosemary, salt and pepper and stir to incorporate over now medium high heat to bring to a boil. At the boiling point, lower the heat to medium low and cover and cook for 20 to 25 minutes. After simmering for the 20 to 25 minutes, add the farro to the pot, stir carefully and bring it to a boil again over medium high heat. At the boil, turn the heat down to medium low again, cover the pot and stir occasionally for another 25 minutes or so until the farro is tender or al dente. If you used fresh rosemary, now is the time to remove it from the pot. If you are adding chicken from the grill, cut the skinless, boned grilled meat into small bite sized pieces and stir into the mixture at this point. Now stir in the reserved chickpea puree and let sit for 5 minutes covered. When ready to serve add and stir in the chopped green of your choice and give it a minute to wilt some and then ladle into heated large, rimmed bowls and sprinkle with the cheese and serve. This makes an impressive entrée service! Served with a toasty baguette, your entrée stew is ready for accolades from your guests. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/1750255085707-M6FZTQKXF7XBDRRSZWF6/unsplash-image-wR5j-2OElew.jpg CCD Dinner Menu 2025 - Nanny’s Dessert 3 packages of soft ladyfingers ½ cup water with juice of a fresh squeezed lemon- if you are doing this with lemon curd. Brandy and /or rum are optional. 2 packages – 8 ounces each- softened cream cheese ¾ cup granulated sugar 1 ½ pints-24 ounces- heavy cream 2 teaspoon vanilla or lemon juice 20 to 24 ounces, or so, of Lemon Curd or a 15 ounce can of cherry, blueberry, or apple pie filling. Begin by brushing the lady fingers with the lemon water or liquor of your choice. Stand half of them up as soldiers around the edge of the springform pan and fit a layer into the bottom of the pan. Beat the cream cheese with the sugar until creamy and fluffy and set aside. In a separate bowl whip the cream and the vanilla until stiff peaks form. Gently, but thoroughly, combine the whipped cream into the cream cheese / sugar mixture until nicely blended. Spread a layer of the creamy mixture over the ladyfingers on the bottom and then spread half of the lemon curd (apple, cherry or blueberry) over that. Top the cream and curd layers with another layer of the dampened ladyfingers. Spread the remaining cream mixture over the second layer of ladyfingers and top with the remaining lemon curd. Cover with plastic wrap and chill several hours or overnight. Remove the springform side of the pan and I would leave the bottom of the dessert on the bottom of the springform pan. Zest the lemon used for the lemon water over the chilled dessert before serving. Served with a steamy cup of hot coffee would be the end of a great fall treat for another good end to Chester County Day! https://www.chestercountyday.com/sponsors2025 daily 0.75 2025-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/1fbbb9fe-e319-4f54-9458-e086dc4131fb/ACS+Services+Logo.jpg https://www.chestercountyday.com/sponsors2025/silver-sponsor-chalfont2 monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/ee0f385a-8581-4121-a25e-f7b70f0a1f28/Chalfont+Silver+Sponsorship+Ad_Spice+Cabinet.jpeg https://www.chestercountyday.com/sponsors2025/gold-sponsor-liz-walton-home monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/0e8dd49d-495c-4102-8d7d-96c88045779a/1754511756538-30efcb1d-8a58-4965-8149-55ecdc44a384_1.jpg https://www.chestercountyday.com/sponsors2025/team-toyota-of-glen-mills monthly 0.5 2025-08-04 https://www.chestercountyday.com/sponsors2025/elevate-hair-studio monthly 0.5 2025-08-04 https://www.chestercountyday.com/sponsors2025/mr-thomas-a-walsh monthly 0.5 2025-08-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/1754565735600-JGF8SLVTGY8PAICIW8WS/unsplash-image-IicyiaPYGGI.jpg https://www.chestercountyday.com/sponsors2025/quaker-city-foundation monthly 0.5 2025-08-04 https://www.chestercountyday.com/sponsors2025/james-cochrane-realtors monthly 0.5 2025-08-04 https://www.chestercountyday.com/sponsors2025/benner-sons monthly 0.5 2025-08-04 https://www.chestercountyday.com/sponsors2025/barclay-friends monthly 0.5 2025-08-04 https://www.chestercountyday.com/sponsors2025/mr-and-mrs-randolph-hess monthly 0.5 2025-08-04 https://www.chestercountyday.com/sponsors2025/silver-sponsor-chalfont monthly 0.5 2025-08-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/415e3de6-0172-4962-906a-c7b509bd3ec5/1725645300837-54f4c8a2-ff0a-4d76-868e-b1d8f2269842_1.jpg https://www.chestercountyday.com/sponsors2025/anniversary-sponsor-flowers-and-more monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/bf0fa5e1-6a97-4c91-a8df-72d856ed093a/Screenshot+2025-07-30+at+12.08.51%E2%80%AFPM.png https://www.chestercountyday.com/sponsors2025/silver-sponsor-the-woodlands-at-phillips-mushroom-farms monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/25391b17-e1d6-456a-895c-8f73de3416bf/Woodlands+ad+2025.png https://www.chestercountyday.com/sponsors2025/silver-sponsor-rittenhouse-builders monthly 0.5 2025-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/39a9c488-d06f-4a84-96ad-0816232f838e/1753890609719-0961cfeb-ff56-4ba2-84e3-43a899985639_1.jpg https://www.chestercountyday.com/sponsors2025/silver-sponsor-mr-and-mrs-robert-v-duprey monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/bf0fa5e1-6a97-4c91-a8df-72d856ed093a/Screenshot+2025-07-30+at+12.08.51%E2%80%AFPM.png https://www.chestercountyday.com/sponsors2025/silver-sponsor-mr-and-mrs-kevin-holleran monthly 0.5 2025-08-07 https://www.chestercountyday.com/sponsors2025/silver-sponsor-michael-pillagalli-editor monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/c76d273e-5505-40f4-98b5-834b4ec50234/Screenshot+2025-07-25+at+10.24.27%E2%80%AFAM.png https://www.chestercountyday.com/sponsors2025/marshall-sabatini-architecture monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/c346a8d9-e9b5-4cf1-8e49-8b68004d727b/1753452287293-0470ec8b-c091-495e-bdcd-f6043f6b63f8_1.jpg https://www.chestercountyday.com/sponsors2025/silver-sponsor-john-milner-architects monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/3919ecf4-cede-4d4d-bea5-96fdad3fb61b/1753452373808-783ad811-1bc3-4e07-8666-483077a528b3_1.jpg https://www.chestercountyday.com/sponsors2025/chester-county-obgyn-an-axia-womens-health-care-center monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/17b5066a-6f57-49b3-989c-84d2a3872137/AXIA+Womens+Health.png https://www.chestercountyday.com/sponsors2025/silver-beilercampbell-realtors-and-appraisers monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec2977ab514fc24742fc892/ddaf301d-fe5c-45af-b59c-45d53f047050/1754512785229-5bb76895-8e54-4951-84c2-7ad3b8aefe7a_1.jpg https://www.chestercountyday.com/sponsors2025/project-six-sz8wl-m3ewa monthly 0.5 2025-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847422112-G7ETRT5C07KF9PHFAV96/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Sponsors -
