Book Hoarder

I have a problem hoarding books. If I see a book, pamphlet, leaflet - you name it that looks interesting or funny - I have to take it. At my job, they've set up a bookshelf in the lobby where people conveniently donate there old books and I walk by everyday and give them new homes. The best part is that the majority of the books all have to do with Southern Culture.

Recently, the donations have gotten real good: Better Homes and Gardens Best Buffet Cook Books from 1974, 1927-2002 Springboard to the Future: Seventy-five years of Victory in the Scintillating USA Southern Territory - and these 5 awesome community recipe books.

Pastors Wives Cookbook
by Sybel Dubose


Not too excited about that last one. The recipes are popular for being simple and "easy". There is a recipe that calls for canned shrimp (to say the least). Otherwise, I hope to be cooking up some delicious rémoulade, corn dogs and homemade yogurt.
