Cookbooks!
I mentioned the other day that I had a collection of cookbooks from family, friends and sales. NJCher said she'd love to see them. I was looking through them today for a buttermilk sugar cookie recipe (no luck, so far) Since I had several out, I took a picture. I moved the recipe pamphlets and books I don't use somewhere. If I find them, I'll take pictures.
These are mostly cookbooks I use. I found a recipe for my grandmother's date bars in one. A recipe for eggplant parmesan in the Playboy Cookbook, a recipe for creamed tomatoes in the Old Farmers' Almanac cook book, salt-rising bread in the war edition of The American Woman's Cook Book. Most of the recipes are online by now, but when I tried salt rising bread a few years ago, I was glad I had the cook book, because it was the only place I could find a recipe.
Some of the books aren't dated, and one isn't titled. Some of the older ones tell you how to test your oven (hold a piece of paper in the firebox and time how quickly it bursts into flame, hence fast oven is hot slow oven is cooler)
I'm enjoying a quiet day inside looking at the snow outside. Enjoy your day how you can

Reminiscing over old cookbooks is such a joy.
I'll be adding pictures of my own on this thread later. I really want to add my Mollie Katzen Enchanted Broccoli Forest cookbook, which is in a three-ring notebook now. All kinds of folds, bends, torn pages, remarks. Actually Moosewood Cookbook and EBF are in the same three-ring.
I got stoned a lot back then and I think I may have even colored some of Mollie's art! Colored pencils, I believe.
I think in your response the other day, you mentioned a three-ring notebook with cardboard cover. Would like to see that one. 
The cover is intact, but the pages are all loose. I picked recipes that have someone's names, just a few that are legible I think the owner started collecting recipes and words of comfort in the late 50s to early 60s. The funeral home is still in business, now called Lankford. They are very nice, very kind
Glad you enjoyed seeing it. When I thought of it, having words of comfort and comforting foods go hand in hand
We had the reinforcements, but usually used them to decorate lined paper, not for their intended use. lol
and wanted cookbooks. She said she read them, preferred reading them to other books or tv shows. She went away happy
I got started in the kitchen as far back as I can remember The cookbooks I found around the house were a bonus
