I got the Betty Crocker one from 1969/1976. This appears to be the same one
that I used to have but has a different spine on it. So it will take much
much less room in my closet. Whoever had it didn't appear to have used it at
all. Almost as good as new but the pages are a tad crispy from age.

I think this is going to work out well. I see many meat recipes that look
like they will work for us. I really didn't pay much attention to meat
recipes when I had it prior because I was a vegetarian then. I also see
some things that I had forgotten about like Buttons and Bows which is an
easy recipe for sweetened biscuits.

So... Very happy!

And normally I don't. But when I could not come up with the recipe that I
wanted online, I bought it. I do collect them you know. But most of my
recipes are gotten online these days.

Are you stalking me too?

You must be joking. I read what you write about the foods you eat and you
easily consume more carbs in a day than I eat in a week. Then you wonder
why your BG is 350.

I grew up with the Better Homes New Cookbook. My mom must have gotten it
for me when I was a kid. My parents would do stuff like that. They would
see that I had an interest in something and would provide me support,
although at the time, I was completely oblivious to what they were doing.

When I got older, I had the Good Housekeeping cookbook. I don't remember
where that came from but my parents might have bought that for me too.
It's a book that has followed me for most of my life.

I also grew up with the Better Homes & Gardens New Cookbook. My mother
gave me a copy circa 1972 when I got married.

I ended up passing it on to my daughter when she got married, but I
missed it, so she bought me a new copy, but the recipes in the newer
edition were all different.

I finally found a copy of my original one at a yard sale, for $2. Why
anyone would put a classic cookbook like that in a yard sale is beyond
me.

Perhaps the owner of it died or went into a nursing home or some such thing.
My mom got rid of all of her cookbooks before she moved. No need to cook
there and she hates to cook anyway.

I got rid of my cookbook because it was wearing out but like what happened
to you, the new book had totally different recipes. A few of them might
have been the same but I didn't like that book nearly as well as this
version.

My first cookbook cost 10 cents. I know this because the prices was stamped
on it. Alas, it was part of a series and either the others weren't
available or my parents wouldn't get them for me. It came from a grocery
store. I think it was IGA which is not a store that we shopped at often.

I suspect it was one of those things where the store gave them away as
freebies, a different one each week if you purchased enough groceries. So
this was likely left over and not given away as they were selling it.

I made almost every recipe in there except for some of the coffee. I do
think that I did try one coffee recipe when we had guests over but I can't
remember what it was. I did make the spiced apples a lot. My dad and I
liked those.

I bought two early editions, both pristine. One at a book fair, the other
at a used bookstore in Palm Springs. I was looking for one like my mother
had, which was loved to death a la the Velveteen Rabbit, so I could cook
some of the old familiar recipes.

I didn't need the second one, but it was in such fabulous shape I
couldn't resist it. My mother's was spiral bound, so it could lie flat,
but both of these are hardback.

My mother had the one that predates this one. The one that has the pie
shaped pieces of pictures on the front. I think some of the recipes are
similar. I mostly made cookies from hers. The one that I just got is the
hardbound so much thinner. I think my other one was three ring. Odd that
they make so many different styles.

Julie, I have many editions (no newer ones though). If you start
looking for something specific, give me a holler. Can be by email too,
esp. if I seem to be absent.

BTW, I see folks are STILL at it here. You are one strong woman to put
up with this c--p for so long.

Thanks! I think this one has all of the recipes I need. I'm going to go
make batter bread now but not that recipe. This one has no eggs or dairy.

I think it is the rest of us who deserve some praise for tolerating her
lies and nonsense stories for as long as we did.

If you tolerate you are far worse an offender... if she bothers you
ignore her posts or grow thicker skin. All you prove by constantly
bitching is that you are weak minded and have nothing better to
contribute... she wins and you lose. As it stands now Julie
contributes far FAR more to this Newsgroup than you. Actually I've
never seen anything worthwhile posted by you... you're like a tin can
with a pebble, you make noise but you're worthless. At least Julie in
her own way is entertaining, you are tearfully boring.
