Hi Anna and all the cooking the books fans, I watch you every Sunday night before bed as I am in Ireland, and I normally go to bed hungry after watching 😂
🌞 I was wondering - do you think us Americans of Irish heritage are silly? We’re quite proud of it here. Wait. I was just assuming you are native Irish, but maybe you’re American. 🤣
Woman’s Day and Family Circle were my go-to and favorite magazines for over 50 years. I cancelled my subscriptions when I was in my sixties because most of the content was aimed at women with busy schedules, kids, and family activities which no longer applied to me as a retiree empty-nester. My mom also bought these wonderful magazines every month at the supermarket so they were a staple of my childhood. I still have lots of tried and true recipes that I clipped from them, and even still have several of their complete anniversary issues, dog eared and well loved. Thanks for featuring the Woman’s Day cookbook on your channel - the recipes look delicious and the trip down memory lane was delightful. Best wishes for a swift recovery from your surgery.
I was a young mother back in the early 70s. I treated myself every month with Woman's Day, and Family Circle. The holidays were amazing with the bigger celebrations magazines.
Your book shelf is so fascinating…you should do a shelf tour or gather some and do a “show and tell” style vid where we can see what you have on those shelves.
Thank you! I don't really have a show and tell style video, but do talk a little about how I organize my books (or...don't organize them!) in my 10K Subscriber video - bit.ly/3VB2WpO The short answer is I organize a lot of them by size. I do try to keep some similar books together - Betty Crocker, Better Homes & Gardens, etc, but otherwise shelving them by size has worked the best for me. Some of the booklets are so tiny that they'd definitely get lost among the bigger books if I tried to categorize them by year, cuisine, etc.
I know this isn't a sewing channel but I would LOVE it if for once if you'd branch out and make an "exclusive" episode, yes, name it something different if you have to, but make that tunic apron! You are the apron lady! Love this episode and love your channel.
Every Sunday evening I look forward to watching your video and Antichef's video. The one I watch first depends on whether or not I'm in the mood for calm or chaos. Yes, yours is the calm one. Jamie, bless his heart, always finds a way to frustrate himself. You are both very entertaining.
My mom bought both the magazines also and would wear the pages out. At Christmas time they would add a wonderful Christmas story and she would wait till we put the tree up and all in the festive mood and she would read us the story. Such fond memories! I’m so glad God gave us memory banks and that you open them up for us! 💖💞
That egg canape recipe looks intriguing. And I thought that the Hungarian egg recipe would have raw eggs cooked in the sauce, I don't know why I was so taken aback to see hardboiled eggs lol
I’ll definitely be trying the savory canapés. I just learned, today, to scrambled your eggs and let them cool in the refrigerator while you get the other ingredients ready for egg salad, then just break the scrambled eggs up as you stir it together. I can’t wait to try it without peeling eggs!
Hi Anna! Thank you for sharing all these recipes. I've been cooking dinner for my family since 1996, when I moved out of my parents house. I am completely out of ideas for dinner. Not to mention, I have 3 very picky teens, and 2 of them have food allergies. I am so over cooking. Lol You have given me the great idea to dig out my old cook books from when I moved out. Not sure why I haven't thought to do so before I started watching your awesome videos. But you have given me the courage to go through all my books to find new recipes. Thanks!
We had Rotten Eggs (Eggs au Gratin), often growing up, on toast. I learned to make it at age 7. I was doing a lot of family cooking at that age. Pork chops were a specialty at that age…and hamburger stroganoff with either chicken or mushroom creamed soup…Cambells of course. It’s still a comfort food, my boys thought of it as a treat growing up. Lots of butter on the toast is a must. 🌈🌈🦋🦋
As a little girl, I’d spend many hours at the kitchen table looking through my mom’s cookbooks and clipped recipes. To this day, I still really enjoy just looking at recipes ❤
The Ladies Home Journal was a magazine in my childhood home. My Mom had a subscription. Sewing patterns for lsdies' clothing were in there as well as recipes, keeping husbands happy, decorating/ hostess tips, etc.
Hi Anna! My name is L. Taylor Nash and i live in University Heights, Ohio. I am an avid fan! You are do REAL and FUN!!!! My hear broke when i kearned about precious Dottie, and i know the pain😢. I have deduced from your shopping hauls that you might be in Tocky River, Westlake, Lakewood area and that really makes me happy that SOMEDAY, I may run into you! Great show!!!! One thing that bothers me, though, is that you seem to get too many negative comments, or so youve mentioned (i dont read them, usually). Please know you are beautiful and appear to be lovely, kind, fun-loving and let the people kvetching talk to themselves and KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!! (I'm 67 and we used to say that when we meant *You GO, Gurl*!!). 💜💜💜
I worked at A&P for years in the 70's, early 80's. Their cookbook is AMAZING. Mine is falling apart as it was glossy paper covers. I have the 'detached" cover in my stash where I wrote down a recipe for buckeye's & still use it to this day. #Memories
Hey Anna! I am Hungarian from Hungary and I can tell two things about eggs Hongroise. The amount of paprika is perfectly fine! I've never ever met anything like this dish here 😅But the paprika is the reason why it is named Hungarian I think because nothing else seemed to be familiar to me ☺I am so happy to hear any mentioning of my little country. ❤🤍💚
I remember the McCall’s magazine. Every month there would be a page with a Betsy McCall paper doll. She was always seasonally appropriate. My sister and I would have to share
@karameske4286 WomAn's Day. She even mentions it in the video that it's _Woman's_ Day, and not _Women's_ Day. Did your mom look at Family Circle, too? My mom loved both. Fond memories, indeed.
I made the Golden Fleece recipe today! I thought I’d be clever and scaled up the recipe to use the whole block (8 oz) of cream cheese, and I added some cooked crumbled bacon, cooked chopped spinach, and raw minced green onion. The mixture perfectly fit a 6 jumbo muffin pan. It took a lot longer to bake - probably a total of 30-35 minutes. In fact I took them out after about 25 hoping they’d set up covered in foil and they didn’t. So I put it back in without the water bath and they puffed up like soufflé! In the end I over cooked them a tad, my specialty, but they are really tasty! Just kind of lost that super soft texture. I’ll try again next time and be more patient leaving them in the water bath just until no longer jiggly. Thanks Anna!
I'm often surprised by some of these vintage cookbooks and the ingredients they call for. Some of them are very typical for their time, like the frequent use of canned goods. But for whatever reason, I was not expecting grated Parmesan cheese to be a readily available product in 1960. In any case, I love eggs and these were some really good variations on how to prepare them. I'm definitely going to give them a try, especially the Golden Fleece.
For those times when you get in a scrambled egg rut, keep a selection of spice blends on hand to whisk into the eggs before you start cooking them. You can have, say, French herbs, curry powder, Italian seasoning, chili powder blend -- even some Mrs. Dash. One of my favorite flavorings for eggs turned out to be "Turkish Seasoning" I received as a sample in an order from Penzey's years ago. Before I ran out, they had opened a store reasonably close to me, so I bought a larger size there.
@@cooking_the_books I think it was Penzey's "Parisienne Bonnes Herbes" that was a hands-down winner for scrambled eggs. In one case, I included some in a little wedding gift for a co-worker, told him about using it in eggs, and soon heard rave reviews. He was already looking to buy more of it because it was going fast and he didn't want to run out.
Love love love your vlogs! Thank you so much for sharing! I too love cookbooks and live to just read through them for my entertainment and then of course trying the recipes.
The savory canapés remind me of the best egg salad I’ve ever had, which came from one of those Culinary Institute of America cookbooks (40s editions). It doesn’t give any measurements and was for deviled eggs, it I make it both ways. Just cut up the hard boiled eggs, add pimentos, chives, hot sauce, salt, pepper, and cottage cheese. So good! I can’t wait to try this version. :)
@cooking_the_books, Hi Anna, I so wish my Grandmother was a pack rat & had saved her Magazine’s as she purchased anything with a recipe & then my Mom would read them & then I would make the dish as I was the one who loved cookbooks like you do, which my Grandparents got me started on cook books & my Mom supervised me cooking at a VERY YOUNG AGE.( if your taught to respect knives & kitchen appliances at an early age then you will have a child who will not get hurt & will respect kitchen rules to NOT hurt themselves. I was an old soul at an early age lol Never got hurt cooking nor baking as a young child …only as a older teen when I was bumped into & the pot holder slipped out of my hand & it had a tiny little burn. Love your videos Anna, Good luck on your surgery. My younger daughter had the same tear at 19/20 yrs old & it was repaired . Good thing I was a nurse & took care of her , gave her her meds & caked her dressing etc & made sure she listened lol . Give me a yell & I’ll look after you as well. I can be an older Sister who you can chat about cooking & cookbooks with lol ~ Anita3kids in NJ 💜🙏🏽🌻🧶🧸
I miss Woman's Day and Family Circle - those along with Good Housekeeping were staples in our home growing up. And after having my own place, I subscribed to all of them for ages. Then the first two stopped and GH just went so down hill (last time I looked, they did not even have the 'gingerbread house' contest winner on the cover of a Dec. issue and I was done with them!). You've inspired me to look for older issues than the several decades' worth I have to add to my collection.
I made the golden fleece yesterday morning. It was so good! I added Trader Joe's 21 Season Salute and pepper. Oh man. We grow our eggs in the backyard, and our yolks are pretty deep yellow, so they really were a pretty golden color. Thanks for the idea!
My mother took a crochet class to make on of those dresses in the magazine. She dragged me along which was a waste of time. Not one of the recipes but made an egg drop soup yesterday using a homemade chicken stock. 10 cents per cup so woo hoo for the budget.
Hi Anna. Hope you’re recovering well from your surgery! Absolutely love your videos. Do you have a video tour of the library behind you i. e., describing the books you have and how you organize them? If not, I’m sure it would be well received. 🌷🌺❤️💕
Came across one of your videos a few months ago. I've since watched every video from the beginning several times over. I love the content! Perfect way to relax and unwind after a long day at work. You've made me fall in love with vintage cook books. I'll be on the hunt to start my very own collection every time I enter a thrift store/ flea market or anywhere I may find one.
Great video as always! And I just wanted to say I really appreciate that you often go out of your way to give us updates on how things reheat. As someone else in a small household, having some idea what I'm getting into with potential leftovers makes trying a new recipe feel much more approachable!
Thank you for your kind comment! If all goes to plan, I will have a video featuring small batch recipes for 2 people coming out in a couple of weeks. Though that might be of interest! 😊
Ove your enthusiasm over eggs. I try and I know they are good but some days I can't face them. I think it come from my family raising broiler chickens. I will buy fresh eggs and add enthusiasm as a spice
Thank you for these! I just bought a zillion eggs and these will come in handy. I eat keto and all three are either already keto or easily adapted with just an easy change or two. I eat two meals a day and the first one is often egg-based. I have a few standards that I rotate through and I can see all of these becoming regulars, as well. The Hungarian eggs looks like a nice change-up to creamed eggs (I eat mine over chaffles). Can't wait to give them a try!
The Golden Fleece egg dish looks great; I wonder how it would be if you used one of the flavored cream cheeses that you can get these days? You might need to leave out the mustard powder, but I can imagine using cream cheese with chives, or smoked salmon flavored cream cheese, would be so good.
I live in MONTREAL CANADA . After my hip replacement surgery I used a BON CI BON DELIVERY . The meals were very good and well balanced . They actually were less expensive and more nutrious than ordering out. For one person it was very worthwhile.
I love your videos! ❤ The glass jar on the top shelf of your bookcase, the one that has the word "cracker"on it brings back happy memories! My mom had that jar when I was a kid. She made a zillion kinds of Christmas cookies and used this jar to store one of my favorite kinds. ❤
Ooh- I was going to do some of those cupcake breakfast sausage egg and cheese bites for the morning, but this Golden Fleece moment looks like a fun deviation. Can’t wait to try- sending love from NYC!
I remember growing up in the 70s we had a betty crocker cookbook that was in a 3 or 4 ring binder but looks like the ones you have your shelf , pretty sure my dad stillhas that it was pretty worn from use even then
All these recipe looks phenomenal but I want to try the egg custard. I love that it’s low carb! Looks and sounds delish. Thank you for another great video!!!!
Eggs Hongroise if I spelt that right is the recipe I might try. I did enjoy that you spoke about the book and just scored a copy. Cheap copy paperback so thanks Ms. Anna ....Ryan
I love over easy eggs on buttered homemade sourdough toast so much, it’s hard to break out of that rut, but that canapé topping as an egg salad variation is pretty beguiling…😊
My village in SW France has an annual brocante-flea market. I love seeing old cookbooks and magazines. Most, of course, are French but there are some British ones and very few American. After finding your channel, I cannot wait to it. BTW-the first dish sounds tasty and I’m with you-I think I’d like it cold.
Can we vote on seeing the old magazines? Seeing them will win! LOL. I love the old magazines and they were the one thing my mom “splurged” on, probably cost .20. I used to read them cover to cover even though I was a little girl. Probably how I learned to read. (I’m old. LOL)
I haven’t been able to try any of these yet because I still need to do my monthly grocery shop. However, inspired by watching the.Eggs Hongroise recipe (and remembering MFK Fisher’s story of making something called Hindoo Eggs when she was young), when I heated up my leftover sweet potato-coconut curry for dinner tonight I poured it over quartered medium boiled eggs instead of rice. It was fabulous!
I made the Golden Fleece and we had them for breakfast! Yummy! Then I made the savory canapés and brought them to a ladies meeting potluck- I guess everyone liked them because there weren’t any left! I made them cold because it is 100 degrees here in Nevada! 😢
I think Golden Fleece looked the best but I would like to try the first one w the chopped boiled eggs and pimento cold on toast. I don’t think I could add the ketchup though. You were so brave. Thanks for all the comments about the cookbooks. The title Woman,s Day, etc. that’s the way it was and nobody thought twice about it. You could still be a professional. I never thought of myself as hemmed in. Or to just be a nurse, teacher or home maker.
I learned something new! Didn't know the A&P fact. My Mom had the Woman's Day Encyclopedia of Cookery. Style is the same format, and sub sections run the whole alphabet. Keep your eye out for it. I am bringing home my Mom's set on my next visit home. Good luck with your surgery. Take all the time you need to heal. We will wait.

Hi Anna and all the cooking the books fans, I watch you every Sunday night before bed as I am in Ireland, and I normally go to bed hungry after watching 😂
Thank you for watching and pleasant dreams! 😴
Have great dreams and a wonderful week!
🌞
I was wondering - do you think us Americans of Irish heritage are silly? We’re quite proud of it here. Wait. I was just assuming you are native Irish, but maybe you’re American. 🤣
You know you are a big fan when you watch even when you hate eggs lol
Haha oh my! Well thank you so much for watching!
That's 😁 😊
Fellow egg-hater but Cooking the Books fan here!
Same!
I can't eat eggs due to stomach issues but thinking the third recipes would be great with another protein and switch out to a smoked paprika.
Woman’s Day and Family Circle were my go-to and favorite magazines for over 50 years. I cancelled my subscriptions when I was in my sixties because most of the content was aimed at women with busy schedules, kids, and family activities which no longer applied to me as a retiree empty-nester. My mom also bought these wonderful magazines every month at the supermarket so they were a staple of my childhood. I still have lots of tried and true recipes that I clipped from them, and even still have several of their complete anniversary issues, dog eared and well loved. Thanks for featuring the Woman’s Day cookbook on your channel - the recipes look delicious and the trip down memory lane was delightful. Best wishes for a swift recovery from your surgery.
This came in great timing I’m low on food and funds however I’m stocked up on my brothers farm fresh chicken eggs. 😀
I fed 6 kids alot of eggs to cut expense and all my kids don't hate me and still fix eggs
Anna, I just finished the video and wanted to add that I hope your surgery goes smoothly, with minimal discomfort, and that you heal up quickly!
I was a young mother back in the early 70s. I treated myself every month with Woman's Day, and Family Circle. The holidays were amazing with the bigger celebrations magazines.
I grew up in the 1970s and loved (still enjoy) Family Life and Woman's
Day magazines.
This is a comforting episode. That is the first word that comes to mind...comforting.
Oh I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 😊

I do try to keep some similar books together - Betty Crocker, Better Homes & Gardens, etc, but otherwise shelving them by size has worked the best for me.

Every Sunday evening I look forward to watching your video and Antichef's video. The one I watch first depends on whether or not I'm in the mood for calm or chaos. Yes, yours is the calm one. Jamie, bless his heart, always finds a way to frustrate himself. You are both very entertaining.

Tomato show, please😮
The Golden Fleece looks like a combination of an omelet and a quiche. That one has a ton of possibilities.
I have a few modern Woman’s Day magazine recipes off their website, but yeah nothing can compete with the beautiful vintage cookbook/magazine!
That egg canape recipe looks intriguing. And I thought that the Hungarian egg recipe would have raw eggs cooked in the sauce, I don't know why I was so taken aback to see hardboiled eggs lol
I Love that you find joy in everything. It's part of what makes you so charming to watch. :)

I used to buy magazines as a treat too. And they were so enjoyable the sad thing is today they're mostly all advertisements and no content.
I found a great cookbook yesterday. It was Mrs Beaton baking. It is a recent reprint but obviously the content is much older.
Good ones! Eggs-cellent!
You know the chef’s hat has 101 folds that represent the 101 ways to fix eggs!!! I loved this video!!! And i am going to try all of these recipes!!!
I have had this cookbook for a very long time, and it has some of my favorite recipes. I’m so glad you showcased it.

that sauce for the hongroise looks wonderful. it would work with eggs but also vegetables or spaetzle or potatoes.
Oh gosh I hadn't even thought of spaetzle. YUM!
Hi Anna! I love eggs! It's great to see more interesting egg recipes. Sending prayers and best wishes for your upcoming surgery. 🙏
Thank you! ❤
I don't believe I've ever seen you make a recipe that you didn't like. Are there any that were just not good? L8ve your channel!
There are definitely a few clinkers! 😂Effie's Pumpkin Soup immediately comes to mind. I really do try to choose recipes I think I'll like though!

YES! Love to hear that you tried it! 😊
My Mom made the creamed sliced hard eggs over toast with the dyed Easter eggs and it was very colorful. 🐣
Love this! I remember having soooo many dyed eggs to use up every Easter. 😂
My mom would make the golden fleece without the seasoning and serve it cold with fruit compote on top
I am glad you added the recipe for the Hungarian eggs. I cannot find a recipe like that anywhere and I can’t find that book anywhere.
I've never seen it either, which made me want to try it out ever more!
@@cooking_the_books I am going to make it for lunch this weekend!
The custard looks interesting, but I was waiting for you to add sugar with a little cinnamon on top to make it into a dessert!
my Mom use to buy Womens Day every month her my younger sister and I woul sit on Mom's bed and look at it together. Thank you for the wonderful memory
So glad the video could spark a nice memory for you. ❤

Not one of the recipes but made an egg drop soup yesterday using a homemade chicken stock. 10 cents per cup so woo hoo for the budget.
Hi Anna. Hope you’re recovering well from your surgery! Absolutely love your videos. Do you have a video tour of the library behind you i. e., describing the books you have and how you organize them? If not, I’m sure it would be well received. 🌷🌺❤️💕
The Golden Fleece sounds like a really good one to try.
I loved the recipes you prepared! I also enjoyed your comments about the magazine and cookbook!
Glad you liked this one! ☺
Came across one of your videos a few months ago. I've since watched every video from the beginning several times over.
I love the content! Perfect way to relax and unwind after a long day at work.
You've made me fall in love with vintage cook books. I'll be on the hunt to start my very own collection every time I enter a thrift store/ flea market or anywhere I may find one.
Thank you! Always happy to hear my videos have inspired someone else to search for vintage cookbooks. 😊
Great video as always! And I just wanted to say I really appreciate that you often go out of your way to give us updates on how things reheat. As someone else in a small household, having some idea what I'm getting into with potential leftovers makes trying a new recipe feel much more approachable!
Thank you for your kind comment! If all goes to plan, I will have a video featuring small batch recipes for 2 people coming out in a couple of weeks. Though that might be of interest! 😊
Oh, my mama used to make Eggs Goldenrod! It was yummy. And pretty!
Ove your enthusiasm over eggs. I try and I know they are good but some days I can't face them. I think it come from my family raising broiler chickens. I will buy fresh eggs and add enthusiasm as a spice
Thank you for these! I just bought a zillion eggs and these will come in handy. I eat keto and all three are either already keto or easily adapted with just an easy change or two. I eat two meals a day and the first one is often egg-based. I have a few standards that I rotate through and I can see all of these becoming regulars, as well. The Hungarian eggs looks like a nice change-up to creamed eggs (I eat mine over chaffles). Can't wait to give them a try!
I love eggs. I'm excited about this video.
I think an egg is the perfect food. I love your videos and you’re making me want to try some of these recipes. You make it look easy! 😊
The baked egg looked fantastic…reminds me a bit of Starbuck’s egg bites which I love!!
The Golden Fleece egg dish looks great; I wonder how it would be if you used one of the flavored cream cheeses that you can get these days? You might need to leave out the mustard powder, but I can imagine using cream cheese with chives, or smoked salmon flavored cream cheese, would be so good.
I live in MONTREAL CANADA . After my hip replacement surgery I used a BON CI BON DELIVERY . The meals were very good and well balanced . They actually were less expensive and more nutrious than ordering out. For one person it was very worthwhile.
Another great episode!
Thank you! ❤
Love those magazines, I don't have a nice spot for things like that so I leave them. Love the advertisements in them also.
I’m intrigued by the Hungarian dish looks delish
I love eggs. This was a great vlog, nice variety and simple ingredients ❤
Thank you! ❤
I love your videos! ❤ The glass jar on the top shelf of your bookcase, the one that has the word "cracker"on it brings back happy memories! My mom had that jar when I was a kid. She made a zillion kinds of Christmas cookies and used this jar to store one of my favorite kinds. ❤
Ooh- I was going to do some of those cupcake breakfast sausage egg and cheese bites for the morning, but this Golden Fleece moment looks like a fun deviation. Can’t wait to try- sending love from NYC!
I enjoy all your old fashion recipes! Today's food is garbage to me compared to the old days. Thank you!
I wonder if the Golden Fleece recipe would be good spread on toast? All the recopies looked good!🥰💖💙💜
I remember growing up in the 70s we had a betty crocker cookbook that was in a 3 or 4 ring binder but looks like the ones you have your shelf , pretty sure my dad stillhas that it was pretty worn from use even then
All these recipe looks phenomenal but I want to try the egg custard. I love that it’s low carb! Looks and sounds delish. Thank you for another great video!!!!
Eggs Hongroise if I spelt that right is the recipe I might try. I did enjoy that you spoke about the book and just scored a copy. Cheap copy paperback so thanks Ms. Anna ....Ryan
I love over easy eggs on buttered homemade sourdough toast so much, it’s hard to break out of that rut, but that canapé topping as an egg salad variation is pretty beguiling…😊
Oh my gosh SAME. Such a tasty meal as is.
i am fan from Queensland Australia, love your videos. hello from the land downunder!
Sydney here! I love all the old cookbooks ❤️🇦🇺
I enjoyed this video. I'd especially like to try the Hungarian recipe. Thanks Anna.
Those recipes look great! Although I think they all could be improved with the addition of celery. Lots and lots of celery.
OK that whisk thing is awesome
I love it so much I have two! 😂 It's the Joseph Joseph Twist Whisk: amzn.to/3XflgGo
My village in SW France has an annual brocante-flea market. I love seeing old cookbooks and magazines. Most, of course, are French but there are some British ones and very few American. After finding your channel, I cannot wait to it. BTW-the first dish sounds tasty and I’m with you-I think I’d like it cold.
Can we vote on seeing the old magazines? Seeing them will win! LOL. I love the old magazines and they were the one thing my mom “splurged” on, probably cost .20. I used to read them cover to cover even though I was a little girl. Probably how I learned to read. (I’m old. LOL)
I haven’t been able to try any of these yet because I still need to do my monthly grocery shop. However, inspired by watching the.Eggs Hongroise recipe (and remembering MFK Fisher’s story of making something called Hindoo Eggs when she was young), when I heated up my leftover sweet potato-coconut curry for dinner tonight I poured it over quartered medium boiled eggs instead of rice. It was fabulous!
Sounds delicious! 😋
Hi Anna! Thank you for the great ideas to spruce up some eggs! Good luck with health journey. Peace LOVE the Oven Glove!
Love watching your videos. I've even bought a few of the cookbooks you've highlighted. Thanks for the videos.
I use my egg genie for hard cooked eggs. I bought it years and years ago from TV and it's one of the best things I've ever bought. 😊
I made the Golden Fleece and we had them for breakfast! Yummy! Then I made the savory canapés and brought them to a ladies meeting potluck- I guess everyone liked them because there weren’t any left! I made them cold because it is 100 degrees here in Nevada! 😢
Oh wow you tried TWO of the recipes? That's awesome! Glad they were well received. 😄
I think Golden Fleece looked the best but I would like to try the first one w the chopped boiled eggs and pimento cold on toast. I don’t think I could add the ketchup though. You were so brave.
Thanks for all the comments about the cookbooks. The title Woman,s Day, etc. that’s the way it was and nobody thought twice about it. You could still be a professional. I never thought of myself as hemmed in. Or to just be a nurse, teacher or home maker.
Yay! I wait all week for these!
Name that movie.. Waiter, there is too much pepper on my Paprikash but I would be proud to partake of your pecan pie.
Love it! My book club did a table read of When Harry Met Sally at our last meeting!
I learned something new! Didn't know the A&P fact. My Mom had the Woman's Day Encyclopedia of Cookery. Style is the same format, and sub sections run the whole alphabet. Keep your eye out for it. I am bringing home my Mom's set on my next visit home. Good luck with your surgery. Take all the time you need to heal. We will wait.
They all look yummy!
I think I'll try the eggs Hungarian. i like a savory egg dish
Anna...Prayers for your health and best wishes for a quick recovery!!!
The last one reminds me of shakshuka (sp).
Eggs aren't really my thing but I do enjoy your videos.
