Missing pages, spattered with leftover bits from cookie dough baked up 30 years ago, spaghetti sauce dripped by some five-year old. So precious to me, though, and I'm looking forward to cooking from it with Nola. <br />So glad you found the copy of her "grown-up" cookbook -- such a great community of bloggers!materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-56171716908442621982014-02-13T04:35:15.368-08:002014-02-13T04:35:15.368-08:00I have this cookbook and use it often.

When I lived in Vancouver in the early 80's I loved going to her shop - The Lazy Gourmet.

I remember a buffet dinner years ago when I was on the executive of the Victoria Horticultural Society and one elderly woman made the best molded crab salad and she used a "crab" shaped mold. I think it was her signature potluck dish.

I have a favorite antique store in St. Louis that purchases complete libraries from estates. I will look for it next time I am there. Your Valentine's celebration sounds perfect. Enjoy!

I found both books at abe for a reasonable price and have snapped them up. The power of the web! Big credit to our Hostess for bringing us together!
