Don't know where I'll put them since my bookcase already looks like it's about to explode.<BR/><BR/>Ed, I love this idea you started. My next post will be about the ones I bought and never/hardly ever use.<BR/><BR/>Joe, while it's true I don't have one book that is devoted to desserts, at least half have some amazing ones. I'll be making some from the cookbooks I'll be writing about next. <BR/><BR/>Stay tuned allRuth Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11173472189049022779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12516077.post-1126377904110214282005-09-10T15:45:00.000-03:002005-09-10T15:45:00.000-03:00hi ruth, what a lovely post...i find it impossible...hi ruth, what a lovely post...i find it impossible to believe you don't own any books dedicated to dessert, given the gorgeous sweets you posted about before! amazing...Joycelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16620313183747360569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12516077.post-1126352641976741302005-09-10T08:44:00.000-03:002005-09-10T08:44:00.000-03:00Ed, I think the "one recipe per book" is probably...Ed, I think the "one recipe per book" is probably true. In looking through my books I found quite a few I've never used (or maybe once) and thought I'd do a post on some of those....why/when I bought them and maybe even try some out.Ruth Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11173472189049022779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12516077.post-1126339382369044322005-09-10T05:03:00.000-03:002005-09-10T05:03:00.000-03:00I think you are right about thumbing through and t...I think you are right about thumbing through and the Internet.

Amazingly, even though we have similar tastes, I don't own a single one of your cookbooks! Great, more to buy.Shaunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14391277093594410404noreply@blogger.com
