Buffistas

Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

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."

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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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.

but I owned a Mary Poppins Cookbook!

I have that sitting on a shelf with all my other Mary Poppins books. I should cook something from it one of these days.

I have the GE&H cookbook, and had the Nancy Drew one. And forced some of the recipes on my parents.

I have Nanny Ogg's Cookbook. I was surprised th t has makeable recipes rather than being just innuendo and magic.

And something called Kafka's Soup: A Complete History of World Literature in 14 Recipes that is a compilation of recipes done in the style of various authors. Tarragon Eggs a la Jane Austen, Coq au Vin a la Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the eponymous Quick Miso Soup. I haven't actually made anything out of it, but it's entertaining.

I also had a Nancy Drew cookbook

I think I had that one! I got a lot of my old childhood cookbooks back from my mom last year, but that one isn't among them. Hmm...
