I like the recipe idea. Let's try to get the cookbook going. I can help out. Cindy

Jane, do you have the recipe in her handwriting? Cindy

cindy said...

Jane, Don't you have some dip mix recipes? If so, I would like copies of them if you have time to run them off.

Cindy,

Go to www.recipegoldmine.com, then go to gift jars, then go snacks and you will find the recipes there.

I also think the cookbook is a great idea, but I don't think I can get it done. Maybe we can all work on it. I had an account, but my time ran out. So I think we will have to start over. The web site is www.heritagecookbook.com/. See what you think, maybe we can all contribute through the web site. You can probably put Grandma's recipes in it, and pictures too.

Yes, let's do the cookbook. I checked out the website and it would cost about $224 to make 20 copies of a 100 page cookbook. We might want more or less. Would we need to charge people for the cookbook or would there be any money in the family account to pay for it? Maybe Jane could be in charge of putting in pictures and family stories, and Judy and I could put in the recipes. We just need a bunch of recipes. Do you still have recipes that people sent you Judy. Maybe we can start in January after Christmas. I could put in a few recipes each night. Marian might help too. She will be graduated by then.

Great idea on the cookbook. I can find photos, and stories. Yes, I think we can use family $ to pay for the cookbooks. All help is appreciated.

After Christmas sounds good to me. Do you want to sell them at the auction or just give them out. We need to give Mom one for sure.

I think it would be OK to sell them at the family auction. We don't need to charge an arm and a leg for them. By the way, my email is kind of screwed up until we get settled. WE are moving Tues/Wed. Be in Cal. by Thurs.
