I Love Spices Way Too Much!!

As anyone can tell from my Knead a Recipe?! blog, I absolutely love to cook and bake. Every last recipe that I get comes from some sort of cookbook that I own. For Christmas this year, my dad bought me a cookbook with recipes served during The Depression Era.




By looking at this cookbook, I am telling you right now I could never have survived!! I never realized how much of a luxury spices are. I can't live without my basil and oregano! Salt and pepper were the staples back then. Don't forget lard. Watch out!! They made a recipe out of just about anything that moved!!


Need to roast a duck, this book shows you how. Potted pigeons? You only need 4 for a serving. Don't believe me?!!





As interesting as these recipes are, I think I would rather have my birds in a cage...than on my dinner plate!!
