Cooking Country Style
This is a collection of the finest recipes for
home cooking - everything from Appetizers to Pickles, and Soups to Desserts and
everything in between. There are the recipes my sisters and friends would call
and ask for - like the Dilly Cheese Ball and Fruit Pizza; the old family
favorites - like Safety Plugs, Grandma's Ammonia Cookies, Carrot Pudding and
Aunt Eleanor's Gingersnaps; my families favorites - like Layered Salad,
Celebration Chicken and Piggy's Dessert; the ones I found, tried and modified
over the years - like the Best Beet Pickles, the Easiest Pumpkin Pie Ever and
German Soup.
For many years we lived in the country and the
nearest grocery store was miles away. This meant planning a menu well in advance
and making do with what was on hand. As a result we have had some interesting
culinary adventures over the years! Because we always grew a garden, I preferred
recipes that started from scratch - rather than a can of this and a package of
that. There are a few exceptions that have become favorites - especially when
the results were mouthwateringly fabulous. Many of the recipes are elementary
enough for children and inexperienced cooks, but don't let that mislead you -
the results will dazzle even the most critical diner.
The book contains 204 recipes with an index for
easy searching, is coil bound - so it lies flat. The book also contains some of
the more thought provoking or humorous quotes I've heard or read and thought you
might enjoy them too.

Ready Or Not
Maggie was content with her life at last. She had survived the hurt and
humiliation of being jilted. Her mother’s cancer was gone and she was settling
into an easy relaxed routine since moving back to Nipawin, her childhood home.
She had a job, was making friends and resigned to living out her life alone. The
family she’d longed for was not to be, so instead Maggie doted on her brother’s
children. And then it all changed.
Phil had a reputation since high school as a womanizer. He had two previous
marriages to his credit. Returning to Nipawin for his father’s funeral set him
on a collision course with Maggie.
Maggie’s contentment is shattered by her unexpected and impossible
attraction to Phil. He’s a flirt, younger than Maggie and based on previous
choices, clearly prefers his women tiny and waif-like, something Maggie is
definitely not.
During a routine examination, they find a lump in Maggie’s breast. Having
just gone through a similar hell with her mother, Maggie is determined to handle
this situation alone, not worry her family or trust Phil and their budding
relationship – a critical choice with dire consequences.
Price: $24.00 (a portion goes to breast
cancer research) plus $3.00 postage.
