Thanks for the post. I usually go back and read at least one old post. Easy way to read the archives.
I have been working on using my cookbooks instead of thinking I need new ones. However, QUESTION, do cookbooks go out of date? Because a old recipe is based on ingredients that might be much different now or way of preparing recipes is different, will the results be much different? Any opinion?
I am totally sympathetic to being "sick as dog". Double pneumonia plus allergic responses to the medication for it.
6 saltine crackers smeared with real butter and about 2-3 tablespoons of hot water poured over the crackers to make them mushy. Tastes good going down and like nothing coming back up. And I mean nothing, for some reason it killed the empty stomach taste.
I sincerely hope that I and you are never that sick again!
You know what I like about these retro links? I like looking back and seeing whether I remember the first time around on these. The cookbooks post was one of the first ones I read here....it actually might have been what brought me here! I was newly married with a shelf of cookbooks I had no idea how to use in March 2008. Ah, memories!
