Thanks Brad and Doug and Splynter! <br /><br />Have 3 copies of JOY OF COOKING in bad state of disrepair. (Have huge collection of recipe books that I can no longer use. 25 of these are photo albums full of written, typed or clipped recipes.)<br /><br />Cheers!fermatprimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06391014624435192426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-21729428857009535892012-12-08T23:44:52.537-06:002012-12-08T23:44:52.537-06:00Tinbeni and Manac:

Once I did there was plenty that I didn't know but it all came together amazingly smooth with few head scatching moments. I was pretty sure on my spelling of ANTIETAM but I did look over TUMID a couple of times. Hard to get the engine running but once it did it was a smooth ride. Tad harder then last week but still not as stiff as the prior two weeks before that.*David*noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-56536181682674306472012-12-08T22:44:34.462-06:002012-12-08T22:44:34.462-06:00CED, that was such a fun trip thru memory lane for...CED, that was such a fun trip thru memory lane for many.Geez, I wish we knew how "Lolita" was doing, and Tarrajo.

I would say the two of two are several degrees more excitement impaired than we are. At least we're gazing at our own navels.<br />But all the world loves a critic (except in Manhattan) so have at it, and next time you guys are really bored you might regale us with some tales of what a dynamic duo like yourselves do for excitement when you're not reading an obscure blog and then commenting on it. Looking forward to the chills and thrills that will bring. windhoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09185847697518005172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-74055604488757478052012-12-08T17:40:59.273-06:002012-12-08T17:40:59.273-06:00Hi again -

I didn't realize they'd had so many collaborations. One of my favorite John Prine songs has always been <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOTbg39-I5Q" rel="nofollow">Souvenirs</a> where Steve is featured heavily. There's many others.<br /><br />I also found this: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHM4myMjVu0" rel="nofollow">Go Cubs Go</a> that's sort of a mini documentary on Steve's relationship to the Cubs and the revival of the song long after he'd passed.
