house fires.....Re: Debbi.....Re: Re: dinner tonight/ old cookbook (debbi brant)

[Guest guest]

My house burned to the ground when I was 15 and then I had another total house fire in 1988. It is so devastating. But, as with you Debbi, no one was hurt. People always say "things can be replaced" but the big loss is the personal photos and keepsakes. But it is what it is:)hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

I collect cookbooks, too. I especially like the fund-raising type cookbooks from churches. I suppose you have those in Sweden, Reb? My very favorite cookbook is a fund-raising cookbook from a Lutheran Church in Blue Earth, Minnesota. I have been looking for a cookbook my mother cherished called "The Modern Family Cookbook" by Meta Givens. My mother's copy burned in our house fire when I was 15. I should do a saved search on Ebay! I hadn't thought of that before. hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product. The slight

We found a really old cookbook recently. Well, that is found, she is sort of collecting them, but I've been reading a bit in it. And when I say "old", I mean the kind where the recipe for "knack" (the Swedish Christmas toffee) says "pour all the ingredients into your cast iron pot and put the pot over the fire"...It's fun reading and I think most of our dinners this week will come from it, more

or less (and with a few adjustments, of

course...). For tonight I am thinking either a scallion gratin or a soufflé with mushrooms or a thing with potatoes, parsnip and bacon. We'll see...love/Reb>> I bought a spiral sliced ham at the store for only 77 cents a pound. I baked it > this afternoon, baked
