Happy Blue Monday. I can not believe the weekend is over already. Sally host Blue Monday every week. Hop on over and check out all the great blue items on display today. Click HERE to visit Sally and put a smile in your Monday.This week, I will give you a peak into what went on during my weekend, and also a look into my childhood. Both qualify for Blue Monday. Enjoy.
Here is a little box that I hope I have seen the last of for a while. Friday, Alisha had her wisdom teeth out, the weekend went pretty well, but it is never a party when you are dealing with teeth being pulled. Eating is still difficult, some swelling and we are still using the items in this box. Hopefully by Thursday she will be as good as new.
My mom popped over this evening and brought a treasure from my childhood. This is a cookbook I believe was purchased through the book club at school. It has a bright blue cover. Did you notice the price? Only 55 cents, a real bargain.
See, it has the history of this book inside the front cover. Thanks mom for writing that inside this little cookbook.
This is a cute recipe for an Angel cake. I love the graphics inside this book. So charming and cute. I know I read every page over and over as a kid. I can not remember how many of the recipes I actually made, but I do remember I spent a lot of time looking through the little book.
I want to show you this page, I remember it being my favorite page in the whole book.I remember thinking that a recipe for an Indian Dinner was just as neat as could be. I enjoyed looking through this book that I have not seen in years. It brought back lots of memories.Hope you have a great week. I know everyone will busy this week. Just a Reminder to click HERE and enter this weeks giveaway. Winner announced on Saturday November 29th.
Happy Blue Monday! Poor Alisha, better now then later :p. I hope she feels better very soon. My eldest girl just had all four wisdome teeth out this past August...they were impacted so it required surgery and stitches. Eek!
ReplyDeleteOh look that that cookbook!!! I love it!
I was wondering about Alisha's teeth. Glad things are going as expected w/ no complications.
ReplyDeleteI love the graphics in that cook book, also. I can imagine you curled up as a little girl looking for fun and yummy things to make.
Happy Blue Monday, Suzanne! I'm hoping that your daughter is feeling much better very soon. Sending get well wishes her way :-)
ReplyDeleteThe cookbook is so special. How neat that she got it when you were little. A very special book, indeed.
Thank you so much for dropping by to see me. I appreciate the visit.
XO,
Sheila
Oooh, I hope Alisha is feeling better real soon... And I just love your old cookbook. It must have been so much fun looking through it again!...Donna
ReplyDeleteThat is so great that your mum kept that for you. What a great bit of your history.
ReplyDeleteHope Alisha is doing better today.

Oh I hope the gauze box will be a thing of the past real soon! Yikes
ReplyDeleteLove the cookbook! What great memories!
What a great trip down memory lane with that cookbook!
ReplyDeleteWisdom teeth are such a painful experience both growing and being taken out! I still haven't quite figured out their real use when some people don't even seem to get them!
I would have a good time with that cook book -- love the graphics! And, I hope Alisha feels better soon. Poor thing.
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely thing to discover! I have my cookbook too! :-) I have always had it with me.. and it's falling apart from being used! ;-)
Happy thanksgiving!

I hope Alisha is feeling better today! I hate using gauze it makes me throw up if I put it in my mouth. I had so much trouble after I a tooth surgically removed last year because of the yucky gauze.. Uck! I got myself sick thinking of it:)
ReplyDeleteSo glad Alisha is better & I'm hopeful by Thursday, she'll be able to eat all her favorites. As a cookbook collector, I am thrilled to see your childhood cookbook. I always love the illustrations in little books like that - so sweet. Maybe one day you can pass this along to Alisha and her children. Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteWONDERFUL Blue posting for today...
ReplyDeleteSure hope Alisha is feeling much better soon.
love, bj
I hope that Alisha is feeling better. How special to have your childhood cook book. It's lovely. Happy Blue Monday.
ReplyDeleteSweetie
I'm happy to hear that Alisha is now on the good side of surgery--the "finished with it" side--and that she's healing. Your cookbook is a happy memory; your mom is a delight to have kept it all these years. I clicked on your favorite page to investigate Indian Dinner. Eeeuw, I don't think I'd like that. Happy Blue Monday!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Susanne, I hope Alisha is on the mend. Your cookbook and the note inside is priceless. I enjoyed your photos of the contents. It is very special to have that cookbook again. Your mom is a sweetie.
ReplyDeleteHugs...Jeanne
What a wonderful thing to have...your very first cookbook! I'm glad your mom took care of it for you.
ReplyDeleteHello to you in Colorado! What a great little keepsake your mom brought back to you. That is great that the info on how you got it is written in it. Hope all the yucky part of wisdom teeth being pulled is behind you and the healing process is well on its way...
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Thanksgiving...
I have that same cookbook from my childhood. I think it was purchased from "Weekly Reader" at school! You know it would be about 20 times the price if you tried to buy it new today.
ReplyDeleteJust want to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteOh, I feel for the wisdom tooth patient. All of us but our youngest have dealt with that -- no fun at all!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun book! And what a neat childhood treasure that is still usable now!
Oh that poor girl, been there done that, but mine happened in my forties. Good golly impacted too, so it was bad.
ReplyDeleteHope she is feeling better!
Happy Blue Monday!
How nice to have your childhood cookbook! Mine was a Betty Crocker Cookbook For Boys and Girls (or similar title) and I thought I was so special whenever I made something from it. Nice memory.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for Alisha feeling fully recovered by Thursday.
Love your header.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to have a cookbook from childhood. The illustrations are so funny. I remember that era.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI think I may have had that exact book years ago. The inside pages look so familiar!
Hope Alisha's feeling lots better!
Diane
Keep treasuring such books, these memories are unpayable
ReplyDeleteOkay, so the book is easy to cook, how about the recipes in it?
ReplyDelete(sometimes I just kill myself...)
Tis I again, looking for clues. Happy Monday
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun little cookbook! Thanks to Moms everywhere for saving those reminders of great memories. Sally
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see that a nice little treasure from your generation was saved.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about Alisha. I hope things are going better now. I love the little cookbook. Happy Blue Monday!
ReplyDeleteHow neat that you have this book that means so much to you. It's a treasure to treasure.

ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteHope Alisha is feeling better. I had my wisdom teeth our when I was in my 30's. Mine were in impacted and had to to to the hospital to have them out. I like your little cook book. It's cute. Thanks for stopping by my place. Take Care!!
Sherrie
OMG, I have that EXACT recipe book!! The recipes are good too - I still use the french toast recipe from it. Woo...freaky!
ReplyDeleteI just swung over here from Nikki Crumpets site and I think I'll spend a bit of time and get acquainted.
Carolynn
Wow, if I'd had such a cute cookbook when I was a kid, maybe I'd have learned to cook! Actually, I could probably still use it now.
ReplyDeleteI think that's such a sweet cookbook. The illustrator looks familiar, I'll have to look him up.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday, Suzanne!
ReplyDeleteLove your little cookbook!
WOW I wish they still made cookbooks like this. My Mom had a book like that with pictures of children but it had like arts, crafts, recipes, and much much more.. I can't seem to remember the name though? Maybe it was something from Good Housekeeping?
