[Sca-cooks] Books was Martha Washington's Booke of Cookery

[Susan Fox]

Hisssssss.  I once fired a realtor who told me I didn't need a house 
with space for bookshelves, I just needed to get rid of my books.  Glad 
you feel the same way.

I think that Martha Washington was a Creative Anachronist, collecting 
historical recipes like we do.  Just because she lived a couple 
centuries Ante Societatis, she was still an Anachronist!

Cheers,
Selene

Thanks to many of you the cookbook/food history section is now its own bookcase instead of a shelf. My brother and sister have recently gotten into "personal home base businesses" ie Amway and Airborne. They have been after us to join their businesses. We have explained we are not interested or don't have the extra funds. In total frusrtration my brother snapped " if you would quit buying books and amour you would have the money!"
