Sometimes Older IS Betterby Peri

August 01, 2009: Having needed (for some time) to replace my Better Homes and Gardens "New" Cookbook (it was $7.99 in paperback, and I've had it since at least 30 years) ... which lives with duct-tape and a rubber band inside a zip-lock bag, I very carefully scrutinized ALL the available B&N editions. Finally deciding on this one as the closest to my original (but in hardback, for better wear), I waited with great anticipation. I was severely disappointed as soon as it arrived and turned to the Bread section (we're big on homemade bread around here, and not only are there 17 fewer recipes, but easily half are for bread-makers, I live off the grid). I would have returned it at that point, but the original wrapping (and label) had already been thrown out and the trash collected.

The text format (3-ring binder) is nice, because recipies lie flat, and the photos are very nice. BUT ...

I've now decided that I'm getting some clear page-covers and will be slipping in 8 pages of my OLD cookbook into each (4 to a side) and have the better part of both worlds.

If anyone knows about a cookbook made for people living off the grid (limited electricity without the generator, etc), please do let me know!

In the meantime, I'll probably order one of these for each of my sons (with the added clear pages holding MY recipes) and the same thing but with the Pink Edition (for Breast Cancer Awareness) for my daughters.

July 04, 2009: I have the older one (from 1985 era) which I got as a wedding present. We have always used it and now I have passed it on to my son and I have the new one. I love it, it has all sorts of new recipes and old favorites with quick additions like microwave and fast and low fat changes. I love this and will most likely keep it for another 15 years.
