Pondering.......: December 2023

Merry Christmas to me...

I've been looking for a nice copy of this cookbook
for almost 40 years. Finally found it on line, ironically
enough, through a bookstore in Deland, FL. I lived 20 miles
from there for 38 years and never knew it existed.

My mother-in-law had a copy of the original 1928
edition and loaned it to me. I fell in love with it and
hoped she'd forget she gave it to me, but after several
months she nicely asked for it back so she could give it to
her daughter.

And thus, my quest began.

What I finally found a few weeks ago is the expanded edition
from 1941. It's bigger and also wonderful.
The original was so popular that they added many more
recipes and printed and sold thousands and thousands of copies.
