We moved to Chester, NJ, when Dad became a county agricultural agent in the MOrris County Extension Service. By the time we lived in Randolph, he was the senior county agent in an office that included another ag agent, a home economist, a 4-H agent, and their secretaries. When we kids were all in school, Mom started working for the Soil Conservation Service in the building next door to Extension. I remember lots of parties with colleagues from both offices and from other counties. These recipes are from various parties and recipe exchanges in both offices.
