add beribboned clay pipes

I really like James Lileks. I believe I initially found his site by doing a search on "gross food" while I was still working in The Office and my group was in charge of Friday fridge cleaning.

I have some cookbooks/recipes that are quite a bit like the kinds he posts in "The Gallery of Regrettable Food" and despite the fact that St. Patrick's Day has come and gone, here's my first example:

Hey, hey, you, you get off of my blog

I'm no longer blogging "cookbook collection", at least not every week. It involves too many photographs and if I get down to it, I really just like cooking and eating vegetables anyway.

4 name bean bake

This one comes from my $1 copy of Colorado Cookbook (Half Price Books in St. Paul, MN) , a fundraiser for the University of Colorado (Boulder) libraries. It's the four name bean bake with 5 types of beans in it...it was good and easy, I made the more vegetarian version as this usually includes bacon & ground beef. I'm finding that I like to cook casserole/crock-pot type things this time of year so I guess that's what I'll usually make in this useless little segment.

Cookbook Collection

Thanks to Melanie for basis of this idea...every week I am going to attempt to cook one random thing a from one of my many cookbooks. This week it was Fried Eggplant Casserole from Talk About Good! It was the first recipe I opened to and though it could have been just about anything coming from this book (Cajun/French/Southern) it turned out to be somewhat of simple Italian-American, LOL. If you really want any of these recipes and can't read what you see, just comment as much and I'll post it.
