The Household Searchlight Recipe Book; was: QOTW

[Guest guest]

That sounds like a great book. So sad that some

person stole your most precious copy with all

those handwritten notes! i can only hope that

whoever did such a thing is enjoying it and has

learned from the wisdom it shared; maybe they

are a better person for it [?].

Glad you found another copy, too. i am going to look

this one up on amazon.

cooking

could put out a great meal from this book. during hard times it was

especially

helpful, taught me to make cornmeal mush, rice that wasn't instant,

etc

(yeeeears ago, LOL)

> the best tho' was I had the receipt, my mama bought it from a door

to door

salesman 2 weeks before my 2nd birthday. it was full of notes,

recipes- cut out

of the newspaper, hand written on notebook paper some by mom, some by

dad.

> unfortunately it was in storage and stolen about 20 yrs ago. found

another

copy in a thrift shop recently - may not follow the recipes now but

had to have it

anyway.

unfortunately everything that couldn't be sold or traded for drugs was probly

thrown away. the scum even climbed up on top of the house and stole the swamp

cooler! They were renting from my aunt, she, me, my cousin and his girlfriend

had things stored in a shed on the property, they took everything and trashed

the house. drugs have probly killed 'em by now.

thanks, it's not a veggie book but I used to make the loaf recipies with beans

instead of m**t. knew nothing of vegetarianism or nutrition back then, was just

dirt poor!! LOL
