Host ,'Conviction (1)'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Daddy long legs is one of my all time favorite books. I think my last copy fell apart. had the movie in my house or TIVOed a number of times, but couldn't watch it. Glad to hear my instincts were protecting me.
I haven't read Inkheart. I am wondering if we have enough copies for my book Club ... the next meeting for that is OCTOBER and I promised them Harry Potter 7 for that one. I want to read some grown up books in June!
Once upon a time, I had a Little House cookbook. Had the recipes for succotash and maple/snow candy and taffy and roast pig and johnnycakes. I wonder where the hell that went to?
Oh my god, I think I had that, too!
I also had a Nancy Drew cookbook, which was ... a little more curious.
I took the Little House Cookbook out from the library, but I owned a Mary Poppins Cookbook!
I have a CD of Little House music, called Happy Land. It's really good, especially if you like old-timey ballads and folk music styles. It includes Captain Jinks (of the Horse Marines), Highland Mary, Barbara Allen, etc.
I had the American Girl cookbook. Then they split it up into little cookbook booklets for each character, and I think I had one or two of those that came with some other stuff. Then I think they stopped making them. There were some pretty good recipes in there, including a whole bunch that were really pretty complicated for a cookbook aimed at 10-year-olds. I couldn't make most of them without my mom helping. (It was one full meal for each character. For Kirsten, there was breakfast -- porridge and sausage and some other stuff. For Molly, it was the lunch she took to school -- a sandwich and deviled eggs and I don't remember what else. Both of those were relatively simple. But then for Samantha, it was a several-course dinner. From upper-class 1904! I remember that you were supposed to buy a piece of beef and have the butcher tie it for roasting. Never did make that recipe.)
It also had all kinds of interesting food-related stuff, like which foods from Sweden could be made with American 1854 ingredients for Kirsten, and things about food rationing during WWII for Molly, and all the new "scientific" foods like iceberg lettuce for Samantha.
I was just looking through the sheet music library over at my mom's yesterday and we have a Little House Songbook in there. Probably similar to what's on the Happy Land CD, I imagine.
It seems like I must have had the cookbook, but I'm not absolutely certain, and if I did I don't know where it might be now.
Mom started reading the series to us when I was 7 and my sister was 4. The first letter my sister learned to recognize was "W", because it was the big flowery letter at the beginning of so many chapters.
Once upon a time, I had a Little House cookbook. Had the recipes for succotash and maple/snow candy and taffy and roast pig and johnnycakes. I wonder where the hell that went to?
I had (have, I think) a Winnie-the-Pooh cookbook. No Little House cookbook, but I'm pretty sure I did the maple syrup thing with my Mom. Once we started summering in Vermont, my Dad believed that it was important to have a gallon of maple syrup in the freezer at all times.
We had a Care Bears cookbook. Just about every recipe included peanut butter. I'm fairly certain that there was a "smoothie" recipe that was just putting a spoonful of peanut butter into a glass of chocolate milk and mixing it with a spoon. Ended up all weird and gloppy.
I've seen an Anne of Green Gables cookbook, but only had time to glance through it quickly.
We have the Green Eggs and Ham cookbook. We haven't used it for anything, though
