Recipes
This morning I decided to clean out the pantry, yes I know, we've only lived here 2 months and it needs cleaning The fact of the matter is I've cleaned it once before. The floor sometimes get cluttered, but I can't stand to have my drawers and cupboards in a mess.
So much for that....This morning I moved my recipe books from the pantry to the cupboard. (If I don't wear them out using them, I'll wear them out moving them
)
Anyone loves a good recipe, right? I know I do, and the new recipe books are so pretty with lots and lots of pictures. I counted my recipe books this morning and I have at least 50 at this point.
Why?
Years ago when I cooked for Christian Womens Club, they had a prize for the one with the most cookbooks, Who has 5, I raised my hand, 10, my hand was still up, 15 most of the hands were down by this time, but mine was still up. 20 - 25 - 30, by now all hands were down but mine I had won the prize (an umberella) How many cookbooks do you have? the one in charge asked. "I think I have at least 50" I responded, a gasp went through the audience. I was sure I had at least 50 but when I got home I counted to be sure. I could not believe it I counted 123. So at our next garage sale I got rid of a bunch, I gave some away, I bought some more and gave some more away, I sold some more at a garage sale.
Will you please tell me why I still have 50+ recipe books

I am sure I don't know why....sounds like my mom.... by the way, I am Josh Bechtel, if you remember who that is.
Because you're a collecto meniac or because you're a packrat?
Well I was doing fine until I seen/saw some "Taste of Home" recipe books at Mrs. Darlings and I had to have some of those too.
And yes, I do remember Josh Bechtel and I've done some lurking on his site and I'm quite impressed with his writings.
Mother if it doesnt have the word has, have or had then you use the word saw. Otherwise it's has seen, have seen., had seen, and he saw! We've been over this a million times and all you've learned is that it's not always "saw" and that it could be "seen" but you still have no idea when to use the words! sigh
Don't you all wish you would have a Mrs. Darling?
