Unfortunately named dish...

[weelisa]

Instead of keeping too many recipe books, I sometimes rip out the pages I like and just keep those. That means that I don't actually have the name of the 1970s British cookbook that I snagged this recipe from, except for the fact that it comes from The Midland Shires chapter. I thought it a sufficiently interesting recipe to post here:

As a book lover, may I just say:

AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!!!!!!!!

I didn't mean to traumatize you! I was tossing said book anyway - if that helps.

Be consoled by the fact that my husband never opens his books too widely lest the spine crack.

A friend of mine washes their hands before, after, and between. Sometimes even donning white gloves.

Tell her to stay out of my bookshelf! ;p

He is I know not where and am glad he never tried to put his white mitts on mine, either. I love books and treat them gently, but I know moderation and limits.

Can you just let your husband know that I think this is adorable? I love seeing the various ways book lovers try to protect what they're reading.

I just let him know what you said - he's quite pleased.

You probably think I'm less than adorable when I threaten him, if he ever makes me mad enough, of going through his bookcases in the middle of the night and pressing open all his books - pressing them open real good-like!. His reaction is always NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Bwahaha! That's actually the kind of thing I would threaten my girl with, so it's awesome.
