Opening my box right in the middle of pink Depression glassware
It's here! Oh, I've been waiting for weeks days!
They're here!
When ordering from Amazon, one must get the super saver discount don'tcha know. Ree's book about Charlie is very cute and beautifully illustrated. I know that the boys will enjoy that one.
This boy is going to enjoy this one. He has been enjoying the benefits of MGCC for several years now and often asks if a new and delicious recipe is from MGCC. He's often correct.
Love that back cover! You'll have to check it out for yourselves as my photo is a titch blurry. (I see a familiar looking vintage auto...)
On a serious note, I wish to commend this group of women who have been, and continue to be, so generous with their time and energies. Did you know that all the proceeds from this wonderful book are going to charities to feed hungry children? What a commitment of love! May God bless your efforts many times over, Ladies.
How exciting! New cookbooks always make me smile. Obviously they do the same for John! =) I will have to check out the Mennonite Girls cookbook. Yummy I am sure! Of course Ree's cookbook is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy, and you will have to share what all you have made! =)
I love new books! Congrats on using Amazon. They are a big savings on my budget. :D
ReplyDeleteOooooh...you'll be enjoying those...for sure!!!
ReplyDeleteHooray, for getting a "happiness" package in the mail!!!
ReplyDeleteI love it, how I can "feel" your joy and excitement, from just the printed words on my computer screen. I can! I can almost see you doing a -happy dance- :-))))
Gentle hugs...
Please let me explain...
How exciting! I'm off to order mine RIGHT NOW!
ReplyDeleteDone! And you are right --- Amazon has a great price! Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Ree's cookbook, it is a delight for the eyes as well as good recipes (albeit fattening recipes!). I bought nine year old Elisabeth her own copy for her birthday after getting one for myself at such a great price.
ReplyDeleteI used Amazon credit to purchase Mennonite Girls Can Cook, I think it was on backorder since it took awhile but it shipped today. Can't wait to read through it since I LOVE their blog.
Charlie is going to be one of Faith's birthday gifts, hers is a July 4th birthday. Did you see on The Pioneer Woman blog the post where she showed all the preliminary drawings and how the book was illustrated?
Oh, how fun!! I just got done reading an e-mail from Amazon telling me that my copy of MGCC was shipped today and then I come here to read your post. Now I'm more excited to receive it. I think it is wonderful how the ladies are donating the proceeds to such a good cause.
ReplyDeleteI love getting books in the mail! I just finished reading Ree's Black Heals To Tractor Wheels book about how she met and fell in love with Marlboro Man... Didn't know she wrote a book about Charlie!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Penny
Ahh...thanks Vee for your support of our efforts. We appreciate you :0)
ReplyDeleteYou should have lots of fun trying all those recipes and John will certainly enjoy eating whatever you make. : )
ReplyDeleteHow nice that the money goes to feeding children.
Whatcha doing on the 'puter!? You need to start whipping up come dee-lish-us recipes!
ReplyDeleteYou have a great collection of books there. I try to stay away from cook books these days. Have to eat simple.
ReplyDeleteI so enjoyed your photos of your gm's and the other china. You have had your hands over full this year that is for sure. Blessings

I love ordering from Amazon..... they make it tooooooo easy though...
ReplyDeleteHugs,
I love the Mennonite Girls can Cook Cookbook, Vee! I hve had so much enjoyment reading everyone's story and the ispirational "Bread for the Journey" as well as the heirloom recipes. Many of those recipes are the same I remember my Ukrainian grandmother made whe I was a child and now it is like a treasure for me to have these recipes!
ReplyDeleteoooooooooooh books always make me one happy girl. Have a great week...m....
ReplyDeleteVee,
ReplyDeleteI shall order the book when we get back to Maine. I have heard wonderful things about the book.
Loved you china. This week is just flying by - something everyday.
Carol
Oh, boy...you will really enjoy these, I know. I keep trying to win PW's cookbook but probably gonna have to break the budget and buy it.
ReplyDeleteSo so glad you have them all.
I've not tried MGCC's recipes....am I missing out???
hugs, bj
Enjoy those books! I'm a big, big fan of the Mennonite Girls and I'm here to attest that they CAN COOK! I'll be ordering that one post haste.
ReplyDeleteOoooooo! How exciting!! I really want to get MGCC too! Soon... soon! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope that you are having fun reading.
((Hugs))
Laura
BJ, yes! You are missing out. The good news is that the Mennonite Gals have a great blog and you can find it by following the link provided or Googling. You're in for some treats! (One of which should be Paska asap.)
ReplyDeleteI got interrupted as I was leaving a comment here earlier...so let me try once again.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you got your cookbook...and a few more prize books for good measure! Just bring your MGCC-book out to one of our book-signings this weekend...and we'll sign away. It sure would be nice if all our blogger friends could join us! But we know that it is only in 'blogdom' where distance makes no difference!
And thanks for being such a good ambassador for both our book...and our blog. And thank John as well...for all the taste-tasting and rave reviews. You guys are the best.
Vee,
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy a new cookbook. It makes for a great read! And fun too.
Obviously, you aren't having this problem, but if you have any suggestions......I can't publish new posts the last several days. It says on the bottom left corner of my screen, javascript void. If you have any suggestions...
Have a terrific day!
Carol, I Googled "javascript void" and there was a lot of info out there. All Greek to me, of course. Just my suggestion, but even though there are "fixes" available...not sure of costs... I'd get my resident geek in or ask a reputable computer guy. Sorry that you're having troubles!
