I think I have that. And I never could understand why they called it that. It has some really good recipes in it.

Good okra recipes seem to be a secret that no one want's to reveal!...
Well, here is the daughter of the people who had Del Rancho giving the recipe for Del Rancho Garlic Dressing https://www.recipezaar.com/13123
You can click on her name Miss Annie and on the next page click on where it says Mail Me (at the top of the page) If we have someone on here who is a member maybe they could politely ask for the okra recipe.

I think it was the mayonnaise and potato chip sandwich that did it. I had a lot of really neat cookbooks, lost about 350-400 of them when the house burned - and that doesn't even begin to touch the rest. I had about 12,000 books stuffed into that little cabin, they pretty much lined the walls. Some of the other cookbooks were everything from a complete set of the old TimeLife Foods of the World, to a hand-made one by a grade school class of Eskimo children above the Arctic Circle. It had one recipe that started "cut up a whale into small pieces and put it in a pot." And the original Hershey's Cookbook, with the page that said a pound of chocolate was equal to a pound of steak, because the calories were the same. That was back in the day when food values were judged in terms of calories.

Hey, that sounds good to me. I won't argue with that....


So sorry to hear about the fire. Are you collecting again?

The fire was back in '87, and omigawd yes, I am collecting! I am a magnet for stuff - and DH was also a magnet for stuff. Fortunately - or unfortunately - we both accumulated different kinds of stuff. At least I don't have his gun collection or all the tires or car parts, but anything that goes inside the house other than tools [I still have most of the tools, but they can stay outside in the shop], I have. Now, if I could just FIND it all when I need it...

After years of collecting I have lots of things I should sell. No guns, tires, car parts though....but thankfully other than a little bit of Heywood Wakefield furniture-- no furniture....but things like elegant glass (mmmm love gorgeous crystal candleabras and candlesticks), pottery...like Frankoma, Van Briggle, Roseville, Weller and Hall.


I keep saying that I have got to get rid of stuff so it isn't a burden to someone to have to sell when I am gone.

That's how I got a lot of our stuff, from what others had collected and whose heirs didn't want to mess with it. Now, I'm thinking hard about doing the same thing. One of the things I had way back when was an original McClellan cavalry saddle, and no clue as to how it got to AK in the first place. Another thing that boggled me big time was the engraved butter knife from my gran's set of silver. Since I'm not the one who took it there, and it was last seen in St Louis, it's a wonder how it made it there to show up in a thrift shop for me to find. I still do have that, although it looks like it's been through a couple wars.

But I still miss my cookbooks, a lot.
