Old Recipes

I love old cookery books and cuttings. Ive been collecting recipes since I was about 14 years old. But these ones come from my DHs grandmother who cut out and collected all sorts of recipes and household tips and hints. This page is from a book called Household Cookery and Laundry Work by Mrs Black.

Aunt Kates Ration Recipe Book was given free with the Peoples Friend, we have quite a lot of those free books. I keep a lot of the free books that come with BBC Good Food so I guess nothing changes.

Mary Lous Plain and Fancy Baking Book is probably my favourite, its from the Weekly Welcome, October 17th, 1931 and i have Mary Lous Candy Book too.

30 years on and my grandmother was reading Elizabeth Davids French country cooking, this copy is from 1963.

Let me know if you would like me to feature any recipes from these or other old books, this is a tiny sample of the cuttings and old books I have.

CupcakesOMG! Turns One Year Old

Today is this little blogs birthday. Can you believe it?? I finally found something I didnt want to quit after a few weeks. My mom is surely very proud.

How did I celebrate the birth of my virtual child? Well, sadly, Im on one of the boring-est diets known to man, so alas, there were no cupcakes. I did however buy these:

Yep, those are key covers...in the shape of cupcakes. Cupcakes with personality, I might add. Right now, Im really favoring the mustacheod cupcake. I imagine his name would be Senor Cupcake, Manuel, or Rrrrrrrrrricarrrrrrdo.

My celebratory purchase came from Urban Outfitters, but in cassic hipster mass-produced fashion, I overpaid. They were $8 at the store, but I found them for $5.99 here.

So how are you celebrating CupcakesOMG!s one year anniversary? More importantly, what flavor did you celebrate with??
