RE: COOKBOOKS~old and new~ - Maggot - 11-02-2011 Geez, the Lee brothers could be OP and Dick. I just think the pastel shirts should be plaid. RE: COOKBOOKS~old and new~ - Duchess - 11-03-2011 I have a lot of cookbooks. I even had bookshelves built in to each end of the island to store them. The closest I ever get to them is to run the feather duster over 'em. RE: COOKBOOKS~old and new~ - QueenBee - 11-03-2011 Got this one when I was a kid...and still have it. Actually have still used it now and then. RE: COOKBOOKS~old and new~ - Lady Cop - 11-03-2011 for all the cookbooks i have, i think my favorite recipes are the many handwritten ones saved in a file from my Grandmother and Mother. all loose and unsorted, just there, food-stained and cherished.

The Internet has every recipe I need if I don't already know how to make it. My favorites are the regional church cookbooks. You can trust church ladies to make good food. This is the one I like most lately: RE: COOKBOOKS~old and new~ - Harvest Moon - 11-04-2011 (11-03-2011, 05:11 PM)Cracker Wrote: My favorites are the regional church cookbooks.

With its fresh voice and delightful humor, Make the Bread, Buy the Butter gives 120 recipes with eminently practical yet deliciously fun “Make or buy” recommendations. Reese is relentlessly entertaining as she relates her food and animal husbandry adventures, which amuse and perplex as well as nourish and sustain her family. Her tales include living with a backyard full of cheerful chickens, muttering ducks, and adorable baby goats; countertops laden with lacto-fermenting pickles; and closets full of mellowing cheeses. Here’s the full picture of what is involved in a truly homemade life—with the good news that you shouldn’t try to make everything yourself—and how to get the most out of your time in the kitchen. http://www.amazon.com/Make-Bread-Buy-Butter-tk/dp/1451605870 RE: COOKBOOKS~old and new~ - Maggot - 01-07-2012 I have some really old cookbooks, the ones that use the old time measurments screw me up though.

RE: COOKBOOKS~old and new~ - Cracker - 01-07-2012 I always wanted this cookbook, but I never get it because I know I won't use it: I just want it to have because I read the books. So I will resist. RE: COOKBOOKS~old and new~ - Cracker - 01-07-2012 Fuck, just bought it. I blame you bastards for bringing it up in the first place. RE: COOKBOOKS~old and new~ - Maggot - 01-07-2012 Cracker: When I go out to the barn in the morning I will dig through the box I have out there and look for a few examples. These are from the turn of the century and they have a bunch of notes written in them. RE: COOKBOOKS~old and new~ - Cracker - 01-07-2012 If you ever care to post a recipe, I will try it out. I like old recipes, especially the simple ones. No mince meat recipes, please. Cracker doesn't eat that. You could post a margin-blowing pic instead of typing one in stoned... RE: COOKBOOKS~old and new~ - Maggot - 01-07-2012 Here is a cool one that was in a book from the 40's DATE JELLY To make this jelly, stew some dates I pray. Until the stones slip easily away; Then take a mould, a circle one is best, And in it a place, like lining in a nest, The rich dark fruit cut into little strips. Next, add a layer of almond chips. Then one of dates, then nuts, then dates once more, And over all clear lemon jelly pour. Set on the ice until its time to serve Heaped with whipped cream in many a graceful curve. RE: COOKBOOKS~old and new~ - Cracker - 01-07-2012 Remember what I said about me trying it? Nevermind that now. Isn't there one for meatloaf or something normal? Maybe something with bacon? Or apple butter? I haven't had apple butter since I was a kid. RE: COOKBOOKS~old and new~ - Lady Cop - 01-07-2012 (01-07-2012, 10:06 PM)Cracker Wrote: Remember what I said about me trying it? Nevermind that now. oooo i love good apple butter! i have some on hand now that i got at some little market that sells homemade local goods. yummy... all the apples i get from my trees and i've never tried to make it. try a local farmstand-type place? RE: COOKBOOKS~old and new~ - Maggot - 01-07-2012 There is a bunch in there. All the local advertisements in that cookbook has 3 numbers as a telephone number! Like dial 739 and so on. |
