First, I graduated from NLU in Monroe with a degree in Home Economics Education, so of course, I was introduced to Cotton Country while I was still in school! Also, one of my first wedding gifts (37yrs ago) was the cookbook. I can easily say that I've used it over a thousand times since then and the pages are yellow with many many handwritten notes throughout. I can even tell the page numbers of certain recipes! It comes in as 2nd fave in my cookbook collection....1st is my Mom's original print 1950's Betty Crocker that has masking tape holding the binding together!!<br />Whoa.........talk about a walk down Memory Lane!!jmachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16455394380447484981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712599346434757984.post-22366577008348142102015-03-04T03:23:10.165-06:002015-03-04T03:23:10.165-06:00We should all follow her lead and note our thought...We should all follow her lead and note our thoughts on certain recipes we try. I have done that in the past and always noted if the recipe was a favorite of someone in the family. Oh Vee...now I am going to have to try buttering hot brownies!

One of my Texas buddies recently sent me a local Texas cookbook with special notations...she thinks I would enjoy the chicken fried steak...such a fun gift. I think that I will make more notations in my cookbooks. i note that you smeared a bit of buttercream frosting on the brownies. That sounds yummy. My family is weird and enjoys buttering hot brownies fresh from the oven.
