Recipe from thrifted cookbook I just gotta share!

[Jay2TheRescue]

Meats and Sauces and Butters - no cholesterol there!  LOL   Guess it wasn't a thought or worry at the time.....

LOL, did I mention that almost every recipe had MSG in it as well?  Quite tasty.

Jay,

I must say that I have wafflemaker envy.  I remember the waffle maker you reference from my childhood.  Doesn't it have a flip side that is flat so that you can use it as a griddle or make grilled cheese sammiches?  Oh, what I'd do for one of those!

Thriftily,

The waffle iron I used was not reversible, but I do have some that are.

I came across a cute site called atticjournals.com  They take old books & make them into journals (see pics).  Some of those crazy cookbooks would make great journals!

It's a cool idea, and a nice look-- but, thing is, I am such a fan of preserving ephemera, I wouldn't want to use the original books... It feels like it would be a shame to destroy them, especially when we don't always know how many of something are still out there.

Taking scans of the pages, now that I could get behind. But thinking of the originals being used kind of makes me cringe.

Of course, I had the same issue recently with a craft project in Country Living which recommended people take Victorian postcards and make them into wallets. I'm picturing all these people running out and unknowingly destroying postcards that are 100 years old and rare.

I was at the drugstore, was overcharged and was waiting for them to do their magic to get my refund.  So I was idly looking at the magazines near the check and they have a new one, a Cream of Wheat cookbook.  Despite being new, it was definitely a throwback to earlier times because the basis was that you throw a packet or two of cream of wheat into each recipe, and the recipes inscluded bread, soup, nuts . . . well I am exagerating about the nuts.  But really--all sorts of recipes that had Cream of Wheat in them.

I was very tempted to get this.  Yes, gasp, at full price. It was jsut so bizarre that I wanted it.  Well, I have a feeling this one may show up at the thrifts.

Speaking of jello....I have good memories of two delicious jello molds my mother used to make with it. She had special jello molds for these concoctions. One was lemon jello that had pineapple and cream cheese. It was delicious!! The other was black cherry jello into which she would put canned black cherries (no pits). That was a good one, too. Everybody loved it.

She never tried to combine beef and jello, thank goodness. That looks so disgusting.

Oh - one more - she would make a bowl of jello and put bananas in there. That was a good one, too.

Well, that's all of my jello memories for now......

My fondest memory of Jello was the plate of Jello in the movie Airplane!
