I miss my Grandmother recipes! One of my Aunt's grabbed them and neither one of them really baked. I grew up in my Grandmother's kitchen helping with everything from everyday cooking and baking to making mayonnaise (no that is one recipe I wish had)

I found a lot of my quilting rulers at Good Will. I go on Wed./Thurs. and get the senior discount 20% . I've gotten a lot of fabric there. I also make doll clothes so I really score sometimes.

What a treasure find! I just don't understand people nowadays....leaving the recipes behind, even if you don't cook/bake, your child might be the next Jullia Child and would love the family recipes!
