You really DO have quite a collection of cookbooks! I love that cookbooks often tell stories, especially with handwritten notations in them (which I try to do thinking that someday when I'm gone, my kids might enjoy seeing my thoughts/tips on certain recipes). Thank you for stopping by and congratulations on nearly 65 years together!!

Simply cream cheese spread on bolonga, layered and cut into wedges. They must have been good as there were none left. Or maybe I simply didn't have enough appetizers and my guests were starving.

Yes, weight loss is a lifestyle, and one that I’ve managed for 20 years now. I know that I bake a lot, but I know how to to manage my carbs, proteins and fats to maintain my weight. kitty@ Kitty's Kozy Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803962513834013589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156931333032819088.post-44610446123250431532019-11-07T17:10:25.561-06:002019-11-07T17:10:25.561-06:00When I was in my early 20s, I worked at a very exc...When I was in my early 20s, I worked at a very exclusive New England inn.

I'm wondering if one is supposed to lay on the floor before or after mopping it, and if the lie down comes after mopping does one take the time to dry the floor first?!? That would knock a minute or two off the lie-down time. I'm exhausted...

They sure do show how people either lived in those days (or perhaps WANTED to live). I loved the one about relaxing and being limp! I should try that more often.

I have an old Betty Crocker cookbook as well, maybe not as old as yours, but with a lot of the same commentary. I've often wondered about eating brains and tongue. Ugh. I asked my parents about it, if they remember eating it, and they do. I'm in your camp, none of those organ meats sound appealing at all!
