(I do imbibe "judicious quantities of alcohol") During the time I was dating my husband he told me I had the most extensive collection of takeout menus he had ever seen.<br />StephAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7794927480752850942.post-66410616080310818162013-12-29T14:49:08.750-05:002013-12-29T14:49:08.750-05:00Mercy me, I never thought of reading cook books wh...Mercy me, I never thought of reading cook books while struggling with those gremlins of plot, theme and character! But, that can take the little grey cells off them! So, Margaret, enjoy the last wee hours of 2013 with your sensible grounded authors.

I adore the vintage writing of early recipe book authors, sensible and grounded, they give me a sense of peace. And on this rainy Sunday before the Eve of 2014 I think I'll take from my bookshelf at random, one of my oldies, perhaps, "June Platt's Party Cook Book" Copywrite, 1936. Now that should be a fun read. Thanks for reminding me.<br /><br />margaret mendelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11740288445705959918noreply@blogger.com
