I've had mine since 1953! So well used, I had to tape it together with Scotch Shipping tape!!!! I have many many too and have written and published some also. But still rely on those old 1950 ones!

She used to tell us kids that if we ever ran out of food we should drop that book in some boiling water and the remains of the splatters would make a soup that would feed us for a looong time! Some sense of humor, huh? I still treasure that book today, as she has been gone for 21 years.WendyFromNYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06304299903828406750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678264306526442157.post-62918148975741635522014-07-24T15:11:31.233-05:002014-07-24T15:11:31.233-05:00What a wonderful idea!

I invited a small group of friends who also like to cook, to come and bring a dish that they wanted to try. It was easy to be truthful under those circumstances. They also each brought some of their favorite cookbooks along and we spent the afternoon perusing each others books. We also traded some and borrowed some. Understand why I would like to have you as neighbors? In the meantime, I enjoy your blog.

Looking at your list makes me wonder: do you know the books by Betsy Oppenneer? She has wonderful bread books. Also, a while back, I discovered a book by Mary Gubser titled America's Bread Book that I think you might really enjoy. I so agree, by the way, that the good books are those whose recipes have been well tested, and not those whose main positive is a celebrity name. I am glad to have discovered your blog!Sue G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01413978126766497885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678264306526442157.post-5834092384547399622010-12-18T18:24:51.765-06:002010-12-18T18:24:51.765-06:00Congrats on your blog-mention from the Betty Crock...Congrats on your blog-mention from the Betty Crocker website!Jeffrey and Julihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816868443994332559noreply@blogger.com
