Cookbook Friend

Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook. Des Moines, IA: Meredith Publishing Company. Copyright, 1965.

It's tattered, it's worn, it's torn, it's wonderful. I cannot imagine a Farm House or any midwestern Kitchen without this delight.
When Richard and I were married in 1966, I did not have 1 cookbook to my name. While I was no stranger to cooking even then at 18, I had much to learn. Richard took note. That next fall, he gave me a box of 33 Cookbooks. Working at a Book Store had its perks. The inscription is noted October 27, 1967.
This Cookbook and I have been enduring and endearing Friends for almost 43 years.
