When I visited one of my favorite bloggers this morning, I realized that her post suited me well. Instead of writing my own post, I decided to just take hers.
Podso's post today says exactly what I've been thinking.
As you can see, I have
shelf after
shelf of
cookbooks
Like Podso, I find myself turning more and more to the internet and my favorite blogs for recipes.
Why?
I have such a connection with many bloggers that I trust them as friends. I'd love to have them at my table (and be at theirs).
Please pay Podso a visit.
I'm sure you'll be back to thank me!

While I don't think I have quite the number of books, I do see many on your shelves which also sit on my shelves. I love and read cookbooks like novels. I especially like cookbooks that also tell a story. Have a terrific weekend. Hugs, Bonnie
ReplyDeleteI well recognize her red Betty Crocker cookbook, my grandmother gave me mine when I was married. I still love to look through cookbooks, but also look on the computer, too!
ReplyDeleteSame here...I have a huge cookbook collection, but I usually turn to my computer to find a recipe. I still have a few favorite, well loved treasures that have dog-eared pages with recipes that I probably could make from heart by now though. :)
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have more cookbooks than I have! But you got me thinking about how I enjoy reading cookbooks and recipes and dreaming about making the dish ---and maybe that is similar to looking at design magazines and thinking about painting a room a different color, etc. I'm wondering about that coconut cookbook. Thanks for the mention!
ReplyDeleteBonnie,
ReplyDeleteDo you Pinterest? (If so, let's follow each other!)
BUT, I see so many yummy photos of food on there and you can get the recipes...I've made several (and blogged, some) that were so yummy!

I have a lot of cookbooks. I love the pictures and the ideas. I don't collect them like I used to because of the internet and the ones I find on blogs. My favorites that I do use are Ina Garten's. Never have had a failure.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Super Bowl Day!

no cook books here, never owned one. i do have a little tin box that i made in high school home economics class, it has all my mothers directions she gave me to do her home cooking and a few i added over the years. i have not touched the box in many years but i used it a lot when i got married in 1963.
ReplyDeleteWish I could get over my addiction to cookbooks. Even if I see it on someone's blog, I still want the book for myself. Think there's a help group for me?
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend Bonnie.
Sam
I enjoy doing both, a few blog recipes and a few cookbook recipes. I'm like Sam, addicted to cookbooks - I think we need help! LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend, and I will pay your friend's blog a visit!
Mary
There is something about a new cookbook that is so thrilling (maybe it's just me)!
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to collect cookbooks but a place to store them was an issue. I have some but not as many as I would have liked. Now I go to the internet more often than not. Guess that's a good thing....maybe I saved a tree or two?
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie, Happy Super Bowl Sunday to you. May the best team win!!! I personally am for the Giants --but I truly just hope it is a good game. Anxious to see some great commercials also!!!
ReplyDeleteInteresting what we learn from other bloggers. You do have TONS of cookbooks. I have several but not nearly that many.
Hugs,
Betsy
Great post to borrow! I have a ton of cookbooks and just bought a couple this last week, it's an addiction for sure. But, I do the same as you and use the internet to find recipes. It's quick and easy, but will never replace cookbooks in my book!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I am working my way up the bloglist on my sidebar and just left Podso's. I couldn't agree more!! There are so many great recipes on the blogs we all read there is not enough time to enjoy them all! blessings ~ Tanna
ReplyDeletewow, that is alot of books! I thought i had alot! Love reading through all my cookbooks on a rainy day and coming up with a new dish
ReplyDeleteWhen we moved nearly 4 years ago, I got rid of a lot of my cookbooks just because they were so heavy and I was relying more and more on the Internet for recipes. Now my clutter problem is a printer tray full of recipes that I've printed out. LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks for the find! Podso's blog is charming. Love to find new blogs to read.
ReplyDeleteHi ,
ReplyDeleteLove your collection of cookbooks. I see a lot Ina Garten cookbooks there which is fantastic. I too turn to the internet for recipes, but if I have an Ina recipe book, I am set.
