Over the weekend, we had our local fair in town- which meant deep-fried everything along with large pieces of grilled meat was in town also. Normally, I say I’m going to eat something- then I rationalize the $8 price tag and go buy steaks on the way home.  This time, however- I did happen to try one of the deep-fried oddities there.

thanksgiving recap

I know I have been absent from here for a while, hopefully you had fun visiting some old posts while I was “away”.  Anyway, I’m back! And, I officially made my “holiday cook/bake list” – it had 207 recipes. Oh dear. So… I whittled it down to 65.  I think it will take me clear into 2012.

I was 17. Of course I forgot all the important stuff, like the author or publisher.  I did however, remember that is had awesome photos and recipes. Come to think of it, I bet nowadays the photos wouldn’t be that impressive- have you ever noticed that food photos from the 60′s, 70′s and 80′s don’t look as good as they do today? I have a collection hoarding issue with vintage cookbooks. Especially 1950′s ones.

I need to make a post about my favorites.

Did you know that the Pillsbury bake off used to be called the Grand National?

There’s a little tidbit.

Speaking of tidbits, here is a collection of my most loved comfort food recipes…

I finally made cake pops. I know,  they have been around forever…and, no I didn’t get all creative, either. I could have but, I just wasn’t feeling it. I’m sure you have days like that.

Now, the big question… will I ever do these again? Continue reading cake pops
