It contained lots of recipes taken from magazines or newspapers, but also ones from long ago friends...JoDean Marin, a nurse I worked with in 1979 when I first started at MMH, gave me this delicious recipe for Chocolate Cherry Bar Cake, a cake so good, we made it for our rehearsal dinner.
I also found a recipe for Pumpkin Bread from Leslie Campbell, one of the first families I ever babysit for, and a recipe for a casserole from my friend Cathie Walsh, whose son is now going to the same college as Joe..she probably gave me this recipe 25 years ago. Nice memories going thru this box, but I don't use it for it's intended purpose; in fact I don't even use cookbooks anymore. I look up all my recipes on the internet now...allrecipes.com; recipeczar.com; eatingwell.com. Virtual cookbooks, with helpful "notes" from reviewers. It's a little nostalgic looking back, but as with the rest of society....there is no going back.
