I love reading them far more than I love cooking! And the burgers and bagged salad totally cracked me up! I'm also constantly surprised at what people give up? I'm glad they do it though so I can get my little hands on it! *winks* Vannalvroftiqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13817625061049340265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3280528125557496175.post-65152087311266842312011-02-01T17:12:48.206-06:002011-02-01T17:12:48.206-06:00The onion salad plates are so cute and I really li...The onion salad plates are so cute and I really like your rooster cannister.

I too read cookbooks in bed, "I LOVE to do that"!!! I could NEVER own just one cookbook either AND do you take notes in yours? Your setting today is gorgeous, I particularly LOVE the addition of the gray. It made the setting POP! LOVED IT!!! Thank you so much for sharing. I see we have SO MANY things in common OTHER than our name, hehe!<br />Hugs to you,<br />DonnaDonna@Conghaile Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10981329702564659603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3280528125557496175.post-63762782302117776352011-01-31T10:01:32.483-06:002011-01-31T10:01:32.483-06:00Would you believe I just bought a Bay Leaves cookb...Would you believe I just bought a Bay Leaves cookbook just like yours a couple of days ago?!?

I have so enjoyed reading it.<br /><br />I too love to hit the book section when I start through the doors of my favorite thrift stores. I have found many with recipes that found their way to our table more than once. I too love that we find them for a couple of dollars.<br /><br />I love your red glasses sweetie, and I have to ask, what store in Enid, Oklahoma? I lived there most of my life and my family all still live there. In fact, I graduated from Enid High School. Can't wait to hear about your time there.<br /><br />Thank you for stopping by sweet friend. I hope you will come again. I have signed up to follow. I can't wait to see what you share next. Stop by any time and I would love to have you as a follower as well.<br /><br />A beautiful share sweetie.

I adore them and that color is just wow!<br /><br />We must be kindred spirits. I have sooo many cookbooks. I was reading them as a teenager when I would babysit for people, I checked them out from the library when I was in college, I still have tons that I haven't ever made anything out of but just love to read them like a novel.
