decided to make a vegetable terrine for our dinner…

I thought I had the recipe in my cookbook, but not so much…

it had come from an old Company’s Coming cookbook… I am sure I photographed the recipe before giving the cookbooks away… unfortunately, I didn’t mark them as recipes and had no idea when I gave them away, lol…

I had looked online at various recipes, but none of them were even close…

I checked the computer, contacted my sister-in-law and even called the Company’s Coming company…

the person on the other end of the phone was very helpful… I was wanting to know which book the recipe was in so that I could order it online… once she knew what I was looking for she hung up and started searching… she called back within a few hours to let me know which book it was in, but that the book was no longer sold, and that the recipe wasn’t in any of the new books…

finally my sister-in-law sent me a text with a photo of a handwritten copy of the recipe…

yay, made it and enjoyed it with dinner… lots of memories…

books…

between watching the Olympics and doing laundry, I spent some time cleaning off the bookshelves in the hallway…

it is always difficult to give away books… I had to look at each one and make a decision…  most of them had an inscription because I always write in a book when I give it to someone… a few had been given to George and it was a bit hard to give them up… but, I have decided to only keep ones that the little boys will want to read, or ones that I will read again…

hall book shelves...

hall bookshelves with lots of empty space…

today was a good day and I was able to let go of many… can see the shelves with some books on them and some of my treasures and this is helping with the divesting process…

nearly all my cookbooks went… really, these days you can find just about anything on the internet, if it isn’t already in my green binder (which holds all my family favourites )…  I also gave up some of the books I have had since I was a teenager… including some great poetry books…

was able to fill 3 boxes and started a box of other give-away knick-knacks… managed to get them downstairs even though they were a bit heavy…

still lots to sort through, but I am rather proud of how much I got done… hopefully tomorrow will also be a good day for divesting…
