The inscriptions are a hoot! Makes me think about a Road Kill cookbook I gave my brother-in-law one year. In Texas that's a real thing you know.
As an eBay seller I did make some actual money on a signed Justin Wilson Cajun cookbook one time. "I guarontee".
Now a days my best cooking is with the food I find dumpster diving. There is an Air B&B at the corner and the folks are either here for medical care in the lauded Texas Medical Center and have suddenly bought out Whole Foods of all their health food (sadly, too little too late) or they are here in Houston at a convention boozing it up. In either case, when they leave they can't seem to take it all with them. Consequently I currently have an internet recipe for rum cake with glaze that I'm about to bake with about a quarter of a bottle of Captain Morgan spiced rum.
Oh, by the way, have you read MFK Fisher and her cook books? She was my mom's favorite.
Hi Margaret - Thanks so much for reading and forwarding. I had a lovely email from Marilyn S letting me know that she had enjoyed it too. It makes me feel good that an old friend (you) and a new friend (Marilyn) got a Sunday smile out of it. Too bad we don't all live close enough to share our mutual cookbook love over a good meal! Looking forward to good meals with you in Greece before too long!

KEEP COOKING! Yes, I've dived into MFK FIsher a bit - especially her books about her time in France. FAB!

I forwarded this to friends. I liked it very much especially the inscriptions. Love cookbooks too.
