I just made a school trip to Washington DC and New York, and all I brought back was MORE cookbooks.......... As if I do not have more than 10 lifetimes of cookbooks and recipes, I went and bought more.....I have always been good on these trips, and buy nothing.......BUT NO..........Mt Vernon, bought a cookbook, Smithsonian, bought a cookbook, Bubba Gumps restaurant, in Times Square, bought a cookbook........ I am already behind on reading the new cookbooks I have, no trip needed, and now I just added more........... Someone needs to fry me in a good 'ole cast iron pan.........
By the way......I had never heard of Bubba Gumps, but I do have to say.....I wish I had their tarter sauce recipe......Anyone else ever been there and have a clue as to how it is made.....(need a new recipe)...........

I hear ya! There is no cure for this disease… though I've been ""immunized"" by living in a house that's too small for sizable collections of any kind. If I bring a new one in and have to get rid of one that I already have… so sad.

Tell me about it! I figure I have around 1,000 of them - and that's not counting the ones on Kindle. Every so often I do a purge of the ones I'm no longer interested in or don't know why I bought and send them to a friend whose wife enjoys them, but then I go to Ollie's and find a bunch more that I love. (Nine on the last trip alone...but two of them were for a gift.) Then there's Amazon's "You might like" suggestions.... I've finally reached a point where I limit myself mostly to books about "portable" food (cookies, cupcakes, etc.) that I can give away, since I don't often have someone to cook for, otherwise I'd probably have twice as many as I do.
All I can say is, thank the Lord for eternal life!

I recently took several boxes of cook books to Goodwill. That being said I still have two book cases full. It is ridiculous! I have started checking cook books out of the library and reading them. There is usually only 2 to 3 recipes I am really interested in so I just make a copy and return book. Saving me a boat load of money!!

Psssssst.....Wolfie, I found this post on a Michigan Fisherman's blog from 2004 for the tartar sauce.
He said IT'S IN THE DANG COOKBOOK!
1 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
¼ cup chopped dill pickle
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
2 teaspoons capers
2 teaspoons grated onion
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon of prepared mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Combine all ingredients; cover and chill. Yield: 1 ¼ cups.
I got this recipe from the book “The Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Cookbook.”

Some people buy souvenir mugs. You buy souvenir cookbooks. Sounds good to me!
