hey laura, glad you found an old loved item again.. it comes up here & there online & on ebay, I saw another copy over the weekend on a trip to collectible shops in the area, so it's fairly available out there :)
I also had so many fun hours in our warm little kitchen trying out recipes as a youngster..

We had this cookbook, too. Eskimo Cookies and Puffed Eggs with cheese were two of the recipes we made often. I'm trying to find a copy that isn't too pricey. I just saw one for almost $70.00, but that's a little too much for me. Thanks for posting this.

I lost mine :( Could swear I loaned it to my mother-in-law and never got it back but she says otherwise.... My favorite book! I wrote little captions in mine, trying to be funny. But I LOVED the recipes.
