I have a copy of the _Mennonite Maid_ cookbook, that I bought at a
homeschooling fair a few years back. What I'd like is either a period
cookbook from a Mennonite settlement (yeah, yeah, I know) or my
Grandma's. MY UNCLE SOLD IT AT A GARAGE SALE! If you bought a
hand-written cookbook at a garage sale in Mountain Home, Idaho about 15
years ago- I want it!
Hmph!
