Amazon has the 2 volume set in hard cover of Julia Child's marked down to $51.50. As for my Mackenzie, MINE! . Wish I could find another copy. Only thing still out there anywhere is the 5000 Receipts later version.(1900?) Can only guess the reason for the 're-do. ETA - just found the same set for $35 on Alibris, just an FYI.

Is anyone here interested in making their own laundry soap? We do and it works great and costs less than 1/5th of detergent from the store.

Cook book schmook book. Who needs one of those? (or 2 or 4 or 10?) It means you're going to open it up, get ALL those ingredients, actually measure everything out and FOLLOW the recipe?!?! Egads... horrifying....

poor kid got my thin snarley hair. so she puts on hats to keep us from brushing it. Problem solver she is.

Oh problem solver... as a girl who hated having her hair brushed, the hat does NOT solve that problem. That's FO SHO! And I love son's nick name "Beast Master". I will never ever be able to remember his real name again. He will forever be Beast Master now!!!

Morning everyone!!!
FT-no, I do NOT need some duckies, still working around hubby for the new "retirement/rescue" coop. BTW- we had similar luck yesterday. We went to Jennings for their Stovewood House celebration and pig roast (not much on pork myself but hubby loves it) and waited in line for close to half an hour only to be told when we got near the front they sold out! Not going to lay $2 FOR a hotdog when we were 3 miles from home so we headed back and hubby picked up a bucket of yummy broasted from Hill' s Still.

TWIZZLEBEE- OUCH!

CC-quit bragging about being able to grow peaches

IRISHROVR - best dehydrator on the market is the Excalibur. Very pricy but worth every penny. I have 2. One really old and one almost brand new. Wouldn't trade them for anything. Tried the round ones, even the more costly ones and wound up giving them away. Best thing about mine is they are not just for food drying. I can use mine for craft projects, proofing dough, all kinds of things you can't do with the "Wal-Mart" ones. IMHO

FOR THE ENQUIRING MINDS WHO ASKED ABOUT MY COOKBOOKS - I have two books you might be interested in.
My cookbook is called "the wise encyclopedia of cookery - an encyclopedic handbook for the homemaker covering foods and beverages - their purchase, preparation and service" copyright 1949. It's only 6 by 9" but close to 1300 pages. I have other old cookbooks but this a definite all-in-one reference. Especially handy for finding out what the neck some of the old cooking terms and measurements mean.
My other book is called (deep breath here) "Mackenzie' s ten thousand receipts in all the useful and domestic arts constituting a complete and practical library relating to agriculture, horticulture, cements, bleaching and dyeing, brewery, cookery, carving, bees, chemical receipts, " (it goes on to list over 50 more topics and still ends with an "etc." . ) "being an entirely new edition carefully revised and 're-written and containing the improvements and discoveries up to the date of publication, October, 1865" it's difficult to accurately describe what all this book encompasses, so let me just say that if it required a formula or a receipt (recipe) in the 1800's, it is in here. Chapter titles include agriculture, horticulture, farriery, medicine, culinary arts, distillation (essential oils, waters, etc.), paints, varnishes, glass,pottery, perfumery, tanning, just to mention some. All of these of course have numerous subsections. This was THE reference book of its day and every rural home that could afford it had one. I think Jim would especially enjoy the brewing and distillation" section. Some of the "plain cookery" is a hoot! Such things as gravy cakes and sailors sauce but others are the forgotten cooking of our great grandmothers. Overall this book contains just about everything we have forgotten how to make for ourselves, minus all the modern additives, etc

Now I need more coffee!

Thanks, Vickiw!

I'll bet you can't get those books on Amazon!
