Fried anything, will not eat. Noodles, hot or cold, no thank you. No flavored ice cream except vanilla, but not "french vanilla" and do not top my vanilla ice cream with sauce or objects.<br /><br />Going to check out that sweater now, thanks for the info! <br /><br />-FloAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-8515652518010040712012-01-06T09:33:13.918-06:002012-01-06T09:33:13.918-06:00The sweater is a cotton Land's End Canvas shaw...The sweater is a cotton Land's End Canvas shawl collar.

It was published in the 60s and it is titled "Low Fat Cookery". It is filled with useless advice about cutting out fatty drinks like milk and egg nog to lose weight and recommends substituting low fat options like soda and alcohol. <br /><br />I collect cookbooks of all kinds and this one is currently my favorite!ms. mindlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02472845738179189141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-81062325438728015652012-01-05T13:15:18.623-06:002012-01-05T13:15:18.623-06:00You ... a picky eater??You ... a picky eater??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861447409543225070.post-21189505364829911952012-01-05T10:36:58.774-06:002012-01-05T10:36:58.774-06:00Oh, Toad...you had me rolling with "Substitut...Oh, Toad...you had me rolling with "Substituting taste for wax is not the way to a man's heart."<br /><br />Re: food porn...did you read the latest installment from Maxminimus?

I stick with the full fat version and eat it only occasionally. Bill has it often but he's required to buy the stuff with onions in it, which is no temptation for me. Other things, like skimmed milk, are an acquired taste and I prefer now. To each his own. <br /><br />If you want to read a great cookbook, try any of Elizabeth David's. As you read, try to imagine you live in ration-weary Britain. Her food writing is very sumptuous, sexy even.
