My mom has a manila folder about two inches thick of recipes
clipped out of newspapers, magazines, etc. dating back to
the year of her marriage (1948). A lot of the food I ate
as a kid and teen is described in those clippings. I'll have
to be sure to get that thing. My only sibling is alleged not
to cook very much, so I don't think I'll have any competition
from her.
