It was a gift from the printer where I had ordered wedding invitations. My copy is well worn & literally falling apart. My favorite recipes are the Chocolate Eclairs & Shrimp Creole (I've even made a veggie version of this). I've also made Hamburger Stroganoff & Chicken Caruso, as well as the meatloaf & meatballs. I also have Betty C's Orange big 5-ring binder book from '69. Unfortunately my kids made a mess of that one. I'm missing some pages and it is very well worn too. I still make things from it, sometimes combines with other recipes and/or add my own things. I use the Egg Foo Yung recipe from that book but the sauce from another book. Since that one is in such bad shape I searched online for a less used copy. Found one, but $150 was much too high for what I'd use it for.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12064300917015727143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678264306526442157.post-85091839347267299962016-10-01T10:19:05.227-05:002016-10-01T10:19:05.227-05:00I have to admit that book sales are my downfall,co...I have to admit that book sales are my downfall,cookbooks topping the list.

How much I learned from these books when I was a young bride who literally couldn't boil water. They feel like a part of me all these fifty-some years later and I wouldn't part with them for anything. The only sad thing is that they are falling apart from use (and age!).Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.com
