Would this be considered a first edition or not? TIA

Hi,
My grand[parents raised me since I was five years old. My Gram taught me how to cook and clean since she decided I would probably would be single most of my life.. It is true that most of my life I had been married to "Princesses" and did most of the cooking and cleaning. My first wife who was Italian and was the most best cook. Her food was so special and she cleaned up her messes before I got home. This went on for several years until we moved to the east coast. When we moved she kept saying "let's eat out I am too tired". After several weeks of this I said "what's wrong why do you not want to cook anymore". She broke down and confessed that she does not know how to cook. I said what you were a wonderful cook. She then confessed that her mother made extra food and brought it over. She did not even know how to boil water!!!!! My gram was right!!!!!

OMG Greg, another great story.LOL

 

I remember in high school, Home Ec was like a 2 'semester' program....1/2 for learning cooking and 1/2 for learning sewing!! And I too remember we had to make our aprons for the cooking part, so, the sewing component must have been first!!! It was all fun!!

I also hadn't noticed that @i need help had located the book pretty quickly as well....like to give credit due!!!!!

 

I still sew......sometimes.........I have 3 machines which don't see much use these days.

One of my daughter's twins is quite a creative cook, just like her mother.

My son's daughter is just developing an interest, and makes us wonderful meals.

I had always preferred baking too, but I try not to do much of it now......I can't resist eating the dough!

 

I have a friend who went to Harvard in the 70's, and when he was a freshman he and a group of friends knew where she lived in Cambridge (it's a short walk from Radcliffe) and went to her house in costume for Halloween. He said she had great Halloween baked goods that she made and handed out. Her house was apparently very popular on Halloween!

 

Jeff........It's so nice to hear such a wonderful story of her. It doesn't surprise me that she was such a person.

That was what made her so special......she didn't become a snob.

 

I enjoyed the movie about her life with Meryl Streep. I would love to see her kitchen at the Smithsonian one day.

 

I loved that movie too.

Doubt I'll ever see the kitchen tho.
