I mostly use the internet but have a whole shelf of writing reference books and several shelves of period history. <br /><br />I donated several bookshelves of research books to the public library. They sold them at the used book sale. Should have gone with the schools.<br /><br />Rita Bayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14632070364222067141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14662874.post-57090914429582726812013-12-30T07:58:53.225-08:002013-12-30T07:58:53.225-08:00Sorry that stomach band is making its presence kno...Sorry that stomach band is making its presence known again. Hope it fades away, and quickly, so you can concentrate on other things.<br /><br />Wish I'd had your contact information when I did a small blog on favorite reference books, sites, and material! Several authors shared which ones they used most, and a few new writers emailed to say how helpful some of the suggestions were.<br /><br />I have one of "those" cookbooks. Not the very one you speak of, but one that has loose pages, broken binding, and spatters on the pages from children and grandchildren learning from it. It's a Betty Crocker also, with pictures of every dish. One of the g-sons--while still in diapers-- would sit for hours pointing at this then that picture and saying, "Mawmaw, that looks gooood!" Someone told me I needed to throw the wreck away, but there are too many memories (and great recipes!) to do so. I purchased two copies I found for sale on line; one I will give to that particular g-son when he gets his own place. The other I will resort to when the original becomes too faded. The extra bonus due to that cookbook? That same g-son now cooks me Cornish hen, potato soup, seasoned pork chops, venison dishes (after he's harvested, skinned, and prepared the deer meat for the freezer!)and other items. Nope. No way can I toss that cookbook! LOL<br /><br />Praying you get to feeling better, Allison. Embrace the New Year for all you're worth!
