We had a great day at the local Peddler’s Mall on Sunday… and it was all pretty much food related (ignoring the ugly, warm socks i bought! LOL).
We had gone on a mission. We were looking for a potato condo, preferable one that didn’t say *Taters*. We have a kitchen with extremely limited counter space and Jeffrey had half of it filled with potatoes of various kinds. I had finally had it, hence the search for a rodent-proof, mastiff-proof storage option! We were fortunate to find one (and it doesn’t say *Taters*!). The booth had only one and we grabbed it gleefully! If fits into a small jog in the wall near the table perfectly
I also snagged a lovely small rectangular Pyrex baking dish… a bit larger than a half size sheet cake pan.
I found a great vintage cookbook: McCall’s Book of Cakes and Pies, circa 1972. It has good information and some terrific recipes. I will be posting the Praline Glaze for Apple Pie over at ILoveToBakePies.com It looks like an easy way to take any Apple Pie from basic to fabulous!
McCalls Book of Cakes and Pies
It is softcover and an odd size, smaller than a standard 8 1/2″ x 11″ page. I paid $2.99, which is more than I normally spend (and possible more than it originally cost) but it has some really intriguing recipes!

Tags: While I was in Long Beach, CA for the TNNA trade Show last weekend, Jeffrey got motivated and started organizing my cookbook collection. We now have empty shelves and cookbooks piled shoulder high all over the house. I am planning to pitch in tomorrow and I am hoping that we can get all of this finished over the weekend.
Meantime, I notice another intriguing vintage cookbook I had forgotten about, every time I walk past a stack! LOL
We already had more cookbooks than shelves, so I am also hoping to come up with an inspired idea about where the extras can live!
