This year our garden produced a lot of tomatoes....all at once. I called my friend Jen, who knows everything about anything related to cooking, and ask her how to bottle them. She wisely suggested that I bring them over to her house Saturday morning and we could bottle them together. While she got things ready I scrubbed the tomatoes.
Then we got the bottles washed. Jen wanted to check her
recipe so she ask me to get her Betty
Crocker Cookbook down. I just had to laugh!
Have you seen a more "used" cookbook"? Is this how they are supposed to look?
When I got home from Jen's I found my own Betty Crocker Cookbook.
Just like NEW!
Even has vintage 1970's pictures.
And notice the very same page in my book. Mine looks like new! I had to laugh but really it is kinda sad. I think it is so cool to have such a well worn, very used, beloved cookbook like Jen has. My mom had one too. I love the messy cookbook better because it tells a story.
It is a good thing I have a great friend like Jennifer. Isn't she cute bottling away.
Saturday was my lucky day. A fun morning with Jen and a dozen bottles of tomatoes in my pantry. I am going to make this a tradition.
