Our Texas Friends

Back in January of this year I posted about one of my favorite cookbooks, The Atalantean Club Cookbook and the other day I received an email from the son of one of the club members. His parents are going to be celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary next month, and he wanted me to write a note for his mother that he can put into the scrapbook they are making for the parents. It's going to be a surprise celebration, so that's very sweet.

The book was in Las Vegas, so Mr. Troutbend had to find it and mail it to me, then I scanned parts of it to send.



I don't know which of these women is the lady to be honored. She would have been married 29 years in this photo, and she was the President of the club that year.

The best cookbook I ever had (that I have sadly lost somehow) was
"The Best Recipes of 1953" given to me by my late very best friend (who died at 30). I will Google it to see if I can still find it. Every recipe in that book was perfect and I tried many. It's nice that they asked you to contribute. The women in the photo look wonderful ... a piece of old America.

It sounds like one of those self-publish things or promotional. I wonder who sponsored it.

They just look like good cooks! The best cook book I ever had was one put
out by the Baton Rouge Jr. league. It was tattered and torn and got
thrown out somehow in the move.

Those Junior League cookbooks are usually a step beyond the ones the church ladies put out. Denver had one called Colorado Cache that was a huge hit and was all anyone talked about for years.

Hi! Troutbend. Long time no read. Have not been on the blog in some time. Still would like to visit your "cabvins" one of these days.

I liked the cookbook subtitle!

Thought-provoking.

Wonderful!

I wonder if any of their very special family recipes are in the book, or as I asked him, are the ones she submitted the kind that caught her fancy for a month or two. The first edition of the cookbook was published in 1962, so if she was a member then, maybe that's when she came up with the family treasures.

I LOVE old photos--you can conjure up so many stories!

And they don't have to be our own pictures to be interesting, that's the part I find fun.
