    Remember that delicious meal you had on New Year's Eve?

    Twice-baked potatoes.
    Page 6 of the 5th book from the left top shelf.

    Hee hee,,,just kidding, Mom.

    If I ever sit and watch an entire movie, I sometimes grab one and just leaf thru looking for new things to make.
    When I actually want a recipe I rememeber, I have forgotten which book it is in!

    Um, no! I have two bookcases of cookbooks! You need a general location for all of yours. I can just see you searching out a recipe-is it in the drawer, cupboard, where is it? I do that too (searching the shelves), but then I find little gems like the Chicken soup cookbook I mentioned in my blog tonight.
    I tell people I read my cookbooks like novels.

    NO ONE can ever have too many cookbooks. Where else do all those great meals come from.

    I see you have Fannie Farmer's cookbook there-one of my favorites. What's the bean cookbook-lentil, etc? : )
    I also love my Bed & Breakfast Cookbook.
    Did you see you were tagged on my blog?
    Here's the questions in case you are interested.
    Ok, here it goes:

    Four movies I could watch over and over:

    Yes, Dianne, the bean one is all kinds of lentil recipes. If I remember correctly, the Fannie Farmer has a good cooked chocolate fudge frosting recipe.
    Each book seems to have one or two recipes that I keep going back to find.
