'Bring On The Night'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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...
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.
RuPaul > Ron Paul any day of the week.
Did I get it?
Well done, Mr. Rot! Once in a century a man nails that post date and time.
I have a few speciality cookbooks, but the thing I refer to most often is a book my sister handmade for me for Xmas several years ago.
She handwrote and collated all of my grandma's most cooked recipes, and gave one to me and one to my mom. I love it.
She had a time of it, because when she was asking Grandma for measurements, grandma would be all "I think a teaspoon?" She cooked from memory, and I find that with many of her recipes, I do as well. THIS is enough cinnamon, salt, butter, etc.
Of course, nowadays, I have lots of recipes just bookmarked or printed off from the Internet. Epicurious and the Food Channel are favorites, as well as Cooks.com.

I'm just going to keep substituting RuPaul for all Ron Paul hereinafter. It's better that way.
Sort of like substituting Joey Ramone for all the things named after Ronald Reagan.

Yeah, I have a two-inch thick file of recipes printed out, hundreds of bookmarks, and just find cookbooks exhausting.
I have two versions of Betty Crocker, too, and the early Betty Crocker is what my mother cooked out of most (and still does). It's excellent for cakes and cookies. One of the cookie categories is "Beau-Catchers (and Husband-Keepers)." The later editions are more enthusiastic about processed foods.
