Antique Cookbooks

 1918
I inherited a few antique cookbooks that belonged to my great-grandmother, who had passed them onto my mother, and now myself.


1936

1935
This book had a piece of paper in it with my grandmother's handwriting.

Look at those costs.  Sorry for the dark photos, it's been nothing but dark, rainy, dreary days here lately.


Our dear friend in hospice, just one year younger than myself, passed away last night.

The Green Tomato Thief ~ Tidbits

We woke up Tuesday morning, to find most of my green tomatoes all over the kitchen floor and living room.  Mia, the hairy green tomato thief stole them during the night.  There were teeth marks in all of them, and it appeared she didn't eat one.  


Yesterday's start of the sunrise.  Our temps got up to the lower 60's!

The sorghum cookie recipe I used (posted in a previous post), is found online called "Sorghum Syrup Crinkle Cookies" by Golden Barrel.  I used my local sorghum, and regular ol' sugar.  They were delicious and the family has requested them again already.
