I'm reading the Mitford Series, not sure which book right now. But they are great reading, I have the cookbook too.
Anyone remember the ice cream that our mother's and grandmother's used to make in the aluminum ice trays, they left the lever section out. The recipe is in there.
But I have a suggestion for a child's book, a friend of mine wrote it. I gave one to nephews this past Christmas, one was 6 and the other 8. The older one was reading it to the younger one.
Love, love, love the Mitford Series!
