Upon enter­ing the pavil­ion where the books were, there were taped off rows where the early birds had been made wait until the doors opened, so you just know all the good books were already gone. Even so, I man­aged to snag­gle 22, yes TWENTY TWO great books filled with culi­nary bak­ing delights from days gone by to more recently pub­lished Pas­try, Pills­bury and Betty Crocker bak­ing books. How much did this booty cost me… $26.00 for the entire load!

I guess the rea­son to share this news with you apart from my obvi­ous over-excitement is that I hope to pre­pare many treats from these trea­sures in the com­ing months and con­tinue to add to my trove of tried and true recipes.  If you don’t have a book fair any­where near you soon, I sug­gest get­ting along to the local library to bor­row and browse before you buy!  Have a great week!
