It doesn't take a lot to entertain me! Last week I was aimlessly scrolling through ebay while watching TV and the dogs at my side.
"Lot of 29 community and church vintage cookbooks" caught my attention. My finger stopped scrolling. I had to know more. After all, if you know me, you know I am a "cookbookaholic." One of my cousins has already laid claim to all my cookbooks when I die!
When you buy books in lot on ebay, you don't get to choose specific titles. I find it exciting to see what you get. The package arrived today. I felt sorry for the mail lady walking up my long driveway with this big box! I eagerly cut the box open to see my treasure trove. With each cookbook that I pulled out of the box, I got more and more excited. There is a 1934 Hershey's Cookbook updated for today's kitchens, several Southern cookbooks, Amish cookbooks, many church cookbooks. Oh! And a firefighters' cookbook. Now those guys know how to cook. These are from all over the country.
The Keiffer Family Cookbook is a collection of recipes handed down from multiple generations of Keiffers.
I was particularly drawn to the soup and stew recipes as this time of year I build up my inventory of soups and stews to freeze. Avocado Soup! Never heard of it but you can bet I'm going to try that one!
Cooking and baking are among my passions. I thrill at the chance to try a new recipe.
Some of these have handwritten notes that are fun to read. There may be one or two that are really tattered and worn, but scotch tape will remedy that!
Now I really must get back to my To Do list that I was vigorously attacking before this package distracted me!
