I found a fun vintage recipe blog.

from RecipeCurio.com

"You're welcome to take a peek at my collection of vintage recipes & household notes, please print off whatever you like for your own recipe box.

You'll find charming handwritten recipes, old clippings, vintage recipe booklets & promo pieces. They may be a bit tattered, yellowed with age and sometimes stained, but these recipes were saved, used & cherished for decades...and now they've settled here and shared with you!"

I've spent way too much time there, but it's fun

8. I found an old cookbook in a thrift shop. It had recipes for possum, raccoon, rabbit, and

other things that came out of Granny's Beverly Hillbillies cookbook.

Needless to say, I haven't tried any of those recipes yet (nor do I plan to in the foreseeable future).

9. There's a kind of funny parody site with Old Timey chow.

It's called the Gallery of Regrettable Food:

http://www.lileks.com/institute/gallery/

"Cooking with Seven-Up"

"Clown Pickles"

"Wonderful Starch Plates"

The guy who created the site, fittingly, is also a
connoisseur and aficionado of all things Republican.
Or that's what I remember from when I lived in
Minnesota.

10. (aside) My sister inherited my mother's Joy of Cooking, '43 edition. The real value, though -

handwritten recipes included in the book from our mother and both our grandmothers.

I suspect it was a wedding gift (both grandmothers probably thought my mom needed some tips - she wasn't a great cook. Great nurse, but a so-so cook) and it grew over time with the inserts.

It's a treasured gem now. Thanks for the post, looks like fun.

I'd found a Pumpkin Pie Spice latte recipe online a few days ago, and while I made quite a few lattes, I still have leftover pumpkin puree (it was the largest sized can!).

I looked at this link, saw a pumpkin cookie recipe, and am about to make a batch to use up my puree.

That is pretty cool

13. My grandmother would cut recipes out of the newspapers (40's and 50's) and

paste them along with household tips in an old Sears catalog. I have it now. I usually go through it and pick out baking recipes for my fair entries.
