Very funny that you have a Peanuts cookbook. So do I. Unfortunately, I think I tried one of the other 40 recipes that didn't work out. Can't remember which one it was...but the cartoons sure are funny.

I bought both my copy and the one I gave to my mother (the one Libby has) at a 'damaged book sale' at the Oxford University Press - my second employer after college. And I have cooked from it, although it's not easy. In fact, last Tuesday I made Gooseberry Fool according to Peter Gray's suggestion. Alright, I never (well, hardly ever!) follow the directions closely. And I've done a Christmas pudding, as well as Summer Pudding from it. Try it, you'll like it!

Yes, Caroline, I do have The Mistress Cook! I think it was Grandma's, and every now and then Mom will tell me that something I want to make is in there, but I think it never really is.

oh oh oh - I LOVE Mud Pies and Other Recipes. In fact, I was obsessed with it when I was little, and renewed it from the town library about 20 times. For years I dreamed about it (ages 8-36), thinking I had perhaps made it up, those pencil shaving pies and other delicacies. The language in that book is SO beautiful. So when I saw it in the Chinaberry catalog when my first daughter was 6, I almost jumped out of my skin. I ordered it, praying it was the same book. It was . Reading it again brought tears to my eyes. That book is such a treasure!
