The Call of Cookbooks

When I stopped by my local thrift store today , I found a hardcover " like new " copy of Cupcakes by Williams and Sonoma and a hardcover copy of Heirloom Cooking by the Brass Sisters for $1.00 each . I also picked up an interesting wooden tole painted autumn bucket for $3.25 . The bucket will look very nice holding popcorn balls .

The last thing in the world I need is another cookbook , but I justify my $2.00 cookbook purchases, by comparing them to the price of magazines. I love magazines , but the price of them have become very high . So, $2.00 for some wonderfull recipes and foodie info , I think is a very good value !
