My mom definitely had JoC, but I think I only have a Good Housekeeping book (plus other, more specific ones, mostly just for baking) as a general sort of cookbook. But then I'm not much of a cook.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I have Betty Crocker, Joy of Cooking, Frannie Farmer, and the New York Times cookbook. Plus other specialty cookbooks. I actually look at them occasionally.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I figured copies materialized on their own as soon as a kitchen came into existence.
I have two, the '60s revision I got when my own kitchen came into existence, and the original edition I grew up with, including the instructions for cooking possum and squirrel.
Cockaigne, I just learned, is a medieval mythical land of plenty, an place of extreme luxury devoted to gluttony and ease.

I never really though about how many cookbooks I call by their authors' first names, but apparently that's a thing I do. Irma, Craig, Marcella, Fannie...

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I see that Ron Paul has designated this an important day. It's UFO Reveal Day
Well, damn. At first, glancing, read, I thought that RuPaul had designated this UFO Reveal Day, which was just deliciously surreal and charming. Two descriptors which are just never really applicable to any declaration by Ron Paul.

I grew up with the Betty Crocker cookbook- the one that was all about adding cans of mushroom soup to things! I mostly made cookies, though.

Did I get it?
Well done, Mr. Rot! Once in a century a man nails that post date and time.
