First Time Was A Charm!

My Custard Pie was a success..... I know I shouldn't be so excited but I had never made one before so when my husband says "that's the best custard pie I have ever eaten", I swell with pride. I just love to bake for him............my brother in law came to stay with us for the 3 day weekend and he agreed.........the best!!

I love vintage cookbooks and cook booklets....well on a whim I stopped at a little yard sale on Saturday and this gal was selling all of these..........I was soooooo excited.

She had so many cookbooks including this "Danish Food" book. Very interesting.

I want to learn how to decorate cakes............I told my husband I want to take a class at Michael's or Joanne Fabrics.......it's on my list but we will have to wait and see if there is any time in my wife/mom schedule. My priorities are God, My husband, My Children and Me..........that's how my mom and dad raised me and I am proud of those virtues.

Looks like cake decorating was pretty basic even in the 80's when this Wilton magazine was published.

So cute, they illustrate a cake for a morning wedding and one for an afternoon wedding.........

Bisquick was a staple item in our house when I was a kid. I found some "old time favorites" in this book. It was used a lot over the years. Oh if this book could talk it would have so many stories to tell me I am sure.

This book is probably my favorite from the lot.......Its from 1953 and its the Pillsbury Recipe and Baking contest "Prize Winning Recipes". Look at the price wow a quarter! I paid $3.00 for all these treasured books...........I would say it was well worth it.

Hope your 3 day weekend was good. We lazed around the house all day today..........felt sooooo good.

Lots of Love,

Debbie
