Posted - May 18 2022 : 1:38:23 PM It's been a long time since there was a book swap! Imagine yourself eagerly ripping open a package, and relaxing on a lawn chair or hammock with a good read! For this swap, we'll focus on non- fiction: how-to books, biographies, historical books, cookbooks, nature.. Sign up will be until June 1st, and mail your book with NO tucks (so you can legally take advantage of postal book rate) within a week. If you haven't already sent your address to me, please do that after you sign up (I'm starting a Farmgirl address collection!). Also, if you do sign up, please contact your partner right away and send the book in a timely manner. Nobody likes to be disappointed. Show off your new book when you post it on this thread. Here are the book assignments:
Vanessa - Audra Rose to Marie Marie - churunga to Darlene Darlene - darlenelovesart to Marlene Marlene - mburns to Terri Terri - Tchr66 to Laura Laura - LauraBell to Judith Judith - StitchinWitch to Vanessa Remember, just include a short note if you want to send it by Media Mail.

Posted - Jun 19 2022 : 6:23:11 PM Vanessa, many years ago when I had just begun cooking I had a recipe that called for "Spry". Mom was away from the house so I called a neighbor friend for help. She kindly helped me understand the ingredient and helped me through the rest of my project. Our cookies turn out great. I will never forget that evening.

Posted - Jun 16 2022 : 1:26:48 PM The Settlement coookbook has interesting origins. It was originally created around 1900 to help new immigrants. It's a good basic cookbook with the added recipes of the countries people were arriving from at the time.

 I came home at lunch to let the dogs out, and hurray! My book swap package arrived. Thank you Judith for the two cookbooks. Land 'o Goshen, but Aunt Jenny's recipes do look inviting. My mom used to use Spry, long ago. I'll be thumbing through the Settlement Cookbook later. Thank you!

Thanks so much for the cookbook. I received it today. I haven't had a chance to take a photo yet (I've been dealing with a leaking water heater today). I can't wait to curl up and check out the recipes.
Happy Tuesday!
