I'm surprised that someone would buy a mix?! It's incredible to make them at home with ingredients from your own kitchen.

I have a rather large collection of antique cookbooks. My oldest cookbook is from 1880 - its amazing. it was considered a household companion. It had recipes in it, but also how to's for household chores, medical care, beauty, lots more. I barely touch it, as it's old and getting fragile. I have used it before - I made a apple cake once from there. But this is easier said then done, as back there measuring cups did not exist. I saw a lot of descriptions such as a "wal-nut sized" for example. Flour was never approximated - it was add flour until it forms a loose/tight/firm dough. I remember that the could tell the temperature of the oven by putting a bit of flour in it and telling how fast it browned, and how brown/black it became. I really love to handle written notes on paper tucked in it from over the years. The original notes in the book that were hand written are very hard to read - due to age. The hand written notes have some pretty neat recipes on them!

NO WAY - oh dear the thought of it brings back awful memories...

my family makes honey - this is a link I use often for recipes. As you can imagine, we use it a lot, this site has a lot of variety!

charm city is right - the best rice pudding ever.

Pavlov! Looks about the same as what I am using. This is a old family favorite that no one seems to make anymore - or know how to. My stove is bubbling away with chicken...it's going to be yummy! I'll take those other recipes to!!

I have never been to a Krystals - but I am assuming you guys are talking about a burger?? (I'm a Canadian eh - none of those around here hehe) Trying to google Chicken Sliders was pretty difficult as I always got sites for these burgers!

I have to be honest and say that my mom was a better baker then a cook. Certain things just never came out right. Her meatloaf was always a brick, and the noodles for a casserole were always mushy. She is amazing at making chili and stews though, and awesome at salsbury steak. I always crave it!

I had latke's for supper this evening....Thanks for the craving!

peanut butter, on wonder bread :)

I have yet to do a thing. I'll start my candy prep this weekend as well as my shortbread, otherwise I save it all for the 23rd and 24rth. Messing up every pot and pan in my house :)

Happy 2nd SE! I've been reading since day one - time flies!

That looks incredible!
