I have a bookcase right in back of my desk that's stuffed with books - mostly old, as those are the ones I treasure. Also boxes of recipe cards, some stretching back to the turn of the 20th century (early 1900s). If you want to know how to make head cheese, or whiten a straw hat - I'm your woman! And yes, this does sound like a good discussion topic for the community - why not start the post? I'd chime in with "Good Maine Food," by Kenneth Roberts; How about you? :) PJH
