Cookbooks! [View all]

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
