We have family recipes scattered all over Mom's kitchen, and I keep trying to think of ways to gather them, and carefully put them in a book, with the recipes contained on them neatly typed up for her with the originals preserved for the generations to come. <BR/><BR/>I look at old buildings, furniture, and well, anything "old", and wonder about who made it, and what types of stories it could tell.... <BR/><BR/>Great writing here! Keep them coming!!!! :)Mrs. Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15269132012512166439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578616175371417043.post-58812971020160159092008-09-28T19:21:00.000-07:002008-09-28T19:21:00.000-07:00What priceless treasures you have been uncovering ...What priceless treasures you have been uncovering lately!<BR/><BR/>Old cookbooks are really neat, especially when they contain hand written notes from someone who you either know, or someone who you do not know.<BR/><BR/>...and yes, my man does have kind eyes!

I was lucky to get her noodle recipe.

I do...I don't think my grandmother used a cookbook. I do have a couple of stained index card from when I asked her to share recipes. None of them has any exact measurements. This used to bother me when I was younger, but now I find myself cooking the same way, although I usually launch with a recipe and veer off wherever the creative urge takes me.<BR/><BR/>I found someone else's granny's old stained cookbook with notes in the margins and scraps of paper tucked here and there at a thrift store one time. I wonder if her grandchildren ever wonder what happened to their granny's cookbook.Leah Fryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18158981037468411293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578616175371417043.post-22265263873005937322008-09-27T21:51:00.000-07:002008-09-27T21:51:00.000-07:00That's so cool - my grandma showed me one she has ...That's so cool - my grandma showed me one she has that she got when she was younger still living in the south - mississippi - I copied the recipes out of it and they are the best. I mean really good - sweet potato pie, crawfish boils, and hush puppies recipes - real down and dirty southern cooking, its the best.<BR/><BR/>I also have this real cool "how to be a good secretary" book from the 50's or 60's - cracks me up. Includes how to dress - how often to empty the ash trays and all that good stuff. Maybe I will have to dig it out and take some pics and put it on the blog. <BR/><BR/>Another good post - glad to see you getting your mind off things and having some fun!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00029307154132762913noreply@blogger.com
