I found a bread pan on sale at the grocery store from $9.99 to $6.99. I had $6.00 worth of points saved up on my store card so it only cost me 99 cents! I'm not much of a baker so I hope I don't screw it up. |

My goto is from my Grandmother's kitchen, "The Woman's Home Companion Cook Book" (1942/46) Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74679903 As it turns out, it's one of "the ones people want" now, so I got lucky! It's even got her scribbled notes, adjustments, etc I've never been much of a recipe guy but I really miss the breads and cookies I had growing up. You can't buy anything like it. |

I can heartily recommend the stuffing recipe for turkey, as well as the Shrimp Creole recipe. |

Quoting: Hot Dog Harry (The Dude) I found her gingerbread cookies, peanut butter cookies, chocolate chip cookies and white bread. I'm going to make them!!! [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] That is one of the better cookbooks out there. I have the same copy that the woman in the video is holding. |

Most butter today comes from cows that are fed grain and a generally crap diet, and has very little flavor. KerryGold is more expensive, but you will actually need to use less. |
