kyburg1388 E. Washington Blvd., Pasadena CA. Judy Jarvits' Used Cookbooks. Think Change of Hobbit II in Berkeley? That size.
Nothing but cookbooks. Floor to ceiling. Nothing. But. Books. About. FOOOOOOOD!
Holy cats. I got two Christmas presents done. And the one I got![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nytshaed, I don't think I've ever seen another copy of. It will be very appropriate for her visit down here in October. *nods*
I tried to find a link on Amazon.com for this one - I HAD to get it for Mark and Kim. I had to. The only thing Amazon.com has is a link for an out-of-print search, but here you go - Who's Your Mama, Are You Catholic, and Can You Make A Roux? : a family album cookbook
I've come to the conclusion that there is North, there is South; and then there is West of the Great Divide and we're a whole 'nother country entirely. Y'all move here in equal amounts when you get tired of fighting with each other.
Which is good. You can cook.
However, you make some damn strange stuff, lemme tell ya. Page 37:
JAR BREAD
Makes 8 jars of bread
2/3 cup shortening
2-2/3 cups sugar
4 eggs
2/3 cup water
3-1/3 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tsps baking soda
1-1/2 tsps salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
2/3 cups chopped nuts
2 cups blueberries
Cream together shortening and sugar. Beat eggs and water into the mixture. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ground cloves.
Add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix well. Add chopped nuts and blueberries. Mix gently.
Spray 8 wide-mouthed pint canning jars with cooking spray. Fill the jars half-full; place on cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Allow to cool slightly. Seal tightly with sterilized lids. INCREDIBLE.
Angie notes that you can substitute the blueberries with the same amount of figs, pumpkin, carrots, or zucchini. She also says that you can cut off the tops of cotton socks, dampen them slightly, and slip them over the jars before baking. This off-beat method helps to keep the bread moist.
The bolding in the last is mine. Keep the bread moist. Right. Sure. You go first, Indy.
There's more - but my dinner is waiting down at Mitsuwa for me. The rest of the book is wonderful - perfect for them - and wouldn't you know, the author has been working with Emeril Lagasse on just about all of his books as well?
I'll have to drop a line to Food Network about the jar bread and see what he says about the socks.
