All for the love of cookbooks......

You know, I realized something yesterday. I read cookbooks the way other people read novels. I start at the beginning, and go through the whole book, section by section. I highlite, mark pages, refer back to passages I especially want to remember, and in general treat them the same as other books.

I should have know this sooner, and in reality I have given it a passing thought or two. As in thinking "Good Lord, the way I looked at that book you would have thought it was the latest best seller".

But I have now come to the realization that that is exactly the way I read them, and with the exception of the Bible, reread them more than any other books I own.

My DH is a bit dismayed by the stacks of cookbooks laying about on the fireplace and is beginning to hint that perhaps they would be happy to live in another spot. Silly man, he actually wants to USE the fireplace now that the cool winter weather is upon us.

Today we are using a fantastic book "The Cornbread Gospels" by Cresent Dragonwagon.
Our Tuesday dinner for tonight is White Chicken Chili and Double Beef Chili, so we are making a Creamed Corn Cornbread to go along with it.

I will let you know how it goes
