so im going thru this big box of cookbooks that i bought at the auction on tuesday. jeanette and i bought 2 boxes of cookbooks and then split them. she got a ton a sewing and healthy eating ones.. i took all the cool old ones. i've come to realize in the past month that I collect cookbooks.. i've just been hoarding them over the years and i really love them all. i love the old ones the best though.
in the box was a Salad Cookbook from 1958. i'm so upset to not be around then. its a whole cookbooks on SALAD. they combine meat and gelatin in ways i could never even fathom. and they call pickles "tangy cucumber sticks" did they not have the word "pickle" in 1958? what a crazy crazy world that must have been.
anyway while flipping thru i see a recipe for aspic.
me: i'm making ASPIC
mark: (convinced i said asspick) excuse me?
me: i'm making aspic!
mark: what is it?
me: i have NO idea but it looks absolutely DISGUSTING!
mark: oh ok.
at least mark lets me try out my weird ass recipe endeavors. i'll give him credit his never not at least tried something i've made. at least not that i can recall right now.
