My fav recipe in the book is one for ice cream with a note my Mum wrote in the margain next to it saying "buy ice cream", ha ha! I hope your feeling better?

Thank you so much for sharing the monkey bread recipe - I think my little monkey's might enjoy it! I had to laugh - seeing all your beautiful books .... thinking of my edition of Edmonds that is so tatty with pages falling out, and needing to be permanently housed within a gladbag - but I can't throw it out - I love it too much. And each edition they do they change the recipes so I wouldn't have any of my faves. Clearly that cookbook does not reside on a pretty shelf!!! <br /><br />Have a fab weekend hon.

I always thought one day when I had time I would hunt out a recipe. Do not need to now!

What a lovely family heirloom to have all those family recipes.<br /><br />Its been really stressful with my son - I find myself getting teary far too easily, but such is life ah? Hopefully happy times are around the corner. Take care hon. xxxRebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18078821937683123363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8530496285238161822.post-8725376581699066792012-05-23T02:36:42.523-07:002012-05-23T02:36:42.523-07:00Hi Becks - I think cooking and baking feels so cos...Hi Becks - I think cooking and baking feels so cosy and nurturing. I also have loads of cookery books. My favourite is my Nanny's which she used for all the lovely food she used to bake us. It has all her hand written recipes interleved in it as well. In November when I make my Christmas puddings I take it and her photo into the kitchen and prepare the puddings from her recipe. There is so much more to cooking than just cooking isn't there! <br />You must be worried sick about your son. I hope the doctors find out what is wrong with him soon because the uncertainty must be pulling you apart. Thinking of you, Lily. xxxLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06717834610233292334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8530496285238161822.post-20189765879721026142012-05-23T01:31:43.524-07:002012-05-23T01:31:43.524-07:00Thanks for your kind thoughts and wishes :-) We s...Thanks for your kind thoughts and wishes :-) We still are not sure (or rather the doctors) what is wrong with our son's heart exactly, so there are lots of visits to the hospital for tests and talks. I always turn to cosy things - like baking - during such times. It would probably be better if I just went out and weeded my garden - far less fattening! I hope your week is going well hon?
