I have found myself, on occasion, picking a condiment based entirely on how much I like the bottle! :-) I love to clean them well, paint the lids and then fill them with candies for gifts. <br /><br />This is actually my 2nd Better Homes Cookbook. The first caught on fire in one of my more severe moments of pregnancy absentmindedness... Happily, everything worked out just fine and I got the newer version in The Binder which was a revelation!<br /><br />I'm looking forward to poking around your recipes!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09963493181798474313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4034780182263991103.post-71957686295474896992013-07-27T01:54:09.595-04:002013-07-27T01:54:09.595-04:00This was such an enjoyable post to read.

I like your writing style.<br /> <br />My first Better Homes Cookbook, given to me as a wedding gift over 23 years ago is SO worn, it's held together by a rubber band...I still love it!<br />Ditto on the canning jars (jelly jars & other miscellaneous jars, too), I hoard them all and use them for everything. Everything.<br />Thank you for sharing your kitchen...Hand-Maid With Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12391771730841208965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4034780182263991103.post-9595482794579031252013-07-26T13:47:03.686-04:002013-07-26T13:47:03.686-04:00Thank you so much, Leila!

I agree with the old-time feel. It can be very pleasant! I think my main mental block on the issue was that I had previously encountered a number of "Kountry Cute" kitchens that were somehow supposed to make up for a complete lack of homekeeping via excessive decorative baskets and stenciling. I actually had a great deal of fun trolling through pictures someone (ag extension office?) had posted to the University Archives site to see how women *actually* decorated their kitchens around here 80 years ago.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09963493181798474313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4034780182263991103.post-37615716383227218012013-07-26T13:41:29.921-04:002013-07-26T13:41:29.921-04:00Thank you so much, Suzette!

I'm not clear who they think is using the glasses but I get the impression it's not real people. :-) The bread is so simple to make and so yummy! The recipe and method are free on their website if you google the site with "basics." They have lots of other free recipes but we just started with the very most basic. I used it for making rolls last night and it worked well for that as well.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09963493181798474313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4034780182263991103.post-15818878350108261872013-07-26T08:56:57.437-04:002013-07-26T08:56:57.437-04:00Great post!

I love the make-do attitude, and I find kitchens that have the old-timey feel are far more welcoming than gleaming expanses of minimalism :)<br /><br />Leilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03432158981260636910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4034780182263991103.post-32614620582048582052013-07-25T23:47:53.265-04:002013-07-25T23:47:53.265-04:00What a spectacular post Becky!

I just found our Libby glass cups to shatter left and right, so then we were up a creek with no budget money for cups, viola JARS! :D<br />Your bread is gorgeous. <br />I love all your ways of using containers in a more practical way.
