books from the book sale part one

now there is another whole box but this is out of the first box, (minus bernie's books, dvd's and vhs tapes)
there are some amazing prizes here, the 'real good food' by unger, i highly recommend, it's a fantastic book, no nonsense in the battery de cusine (the tools of the chef- loosely translated) and in what is real food on a serious budget
that corned beef hash thing has saved our poor broke sorry asses more times then i care to admit
and substitue chopped ham, onions and cheddar cheese in with the white sauce and the potatoes and you (for a bit more money) can eat really well
now i adore washington irving and of course dickens.....how could i resist?
and a cookbook from 1924....... WITH a hand writen recipe added.......
that picnic book is something i been wanting to have around which i didn't know exhisted
if i hadn't found it i may have had to make one for myself
larousse gastronomique is of course the prize of the day as i have wanted that book for forever and could NOT afford it
and that book despereaux, well i already started reading it and it's charming

memorias of a geisha was the last book evelyn (notthemomma) was reading when she passed away, she liked it and so i wanted to read it
and anyway i like history and i like biography so that's a no brainer ditto the shakespear book and queen anne

and country living....well if you know me, you don't have to ask
now tomorrow i have some others to post, i figured this was enough of a photo load for the day
meanwhile it's overcast, and threatening here
so we will spend a quiet day puttering around the house....maybe not doing that garden bed which i desperately need done but what can you do with weather this threatening
maybe it will cool off
?
