Vintage Betty Crocker's Picture Cookbook - Special Edition
Probably the most rare cookbook in my collection. Bought as part of a box lot at an auction (over 30+ books plus the shelf they were on for $25.00). The previous owner had over a dozen vintage Betty Crocker cookbooks and this edition was tucked between a few books. It is "signed" by Betty Crocker - see bottom photo.

Modern Day Interlude - My Personal Recipe Files
Recipes I have collected from the past 20+ years are in these binders. Many are on index cards, some hand written on scrap paper or cut out of magazines. In the early days of "the computer" I bought The Master Cook program to copy all my recipes, after a few years and with possibility of an impending hard drive crash I sent ALL of the recipes to my e-mail account and then printed out every single recipe. These are now stored in my binders.
Recipes are categorized in each binder, red is for entrees, brown for desserts and white for everything else.
