    Default My cook book finds........

    I don't collect them but went to a library sale this weekend and seem to have found some gems!!

    I just finished going through one......will have to go back through and mark all the ones I want to try.

    Bought:

    The Thrifty Cook --tasty budget recipes by the food editors of Farm Journal (I do like FJ cookbooks......have another one)

    Bread Machine Magic ---139 recipes created for use in all types of bread machines.

    Better Homes and Gardens Annual Recipes 2001 ---a huge hardcover book.

    Haven't read the bread or BH&G yet...just glanced through them at the sale.

    Cost ---2 hardcovers and 1 soft cover........$1.25 WOOHOO!!
    Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.

    January Book List

    Very nice! Both my mom and I are unable to go into a second hand store without finding an armload of cookbooks to take home...I think my mom finally sent some back, but I'm hanging on to mine!

    I don't even look at them at the thrift store.......USUALLY.....as I don't need any more!! (and am not a 'collector'....to know value) but figured this aisle would keep me out of the mystery section.......WRONG!

    I'm in Misery. The show me state. I'm hoping the Chiefs do way better this year with the pics they got so far. Is that enough hints?

    If I excluded peeps that ate meat, I would have no friends...I think the US population might be close to only 3% vegetarians..
