WOULD ANYONE BE INTERESTED IN A COOKBOOK? JEAN AND ANNA CAME TO ME WITH THE IDEA. IT WOULD BE THE RECIPES THAT JEAN AND ANNA HAD PUT ON NEW YORK STATE OF MIND. THERE WOULD ALSO BE SOME THAT HAVEN'T BEEN ON. MAYBE EVEN ONE OR TWO OF MY MOTHER'S. WE ARE JUST IN THE TALKING STAGES RIGHT NOW. IF THERE WAS A COOKBOOK IS THERE ANYTHING SPECIAL YOU WOULD LIKE IN THE COOKBOOK? HOW MUCH WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO PAY FOR THE BOOK?
ANOTHER THOUGHT WAS A COOKBOOK OF THE ALL THE CHRISTMAS RECIPES WE HAD ON THE LAST TWO YEARS, PLUS THE ONES WE PUT ON THIS YEAR. OR MAYBE A BOOK OF ALL THE EASTER RECIPES WE HAD ON? WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Good Morning Everyone,
Hope you enjoy these recipes. As you can see Jean and Anna had an idea of a cookbook? What do you think?
Beautiful day so far today.

These recipes look good. In the potato salad, did she peel the potatoes or did she leave the skins on?
Regarding a cookbook, I would support any endeavor that you, Jean and Anna would come up with. But the downside is that we have these recipes on our computers. The ones I like best, I save in a file on my computer, but I know that I can always go back and find any I missed. Going back to find them isn't always easy, so in that case a book would be a help.
I have a few cookbooks from churches, where the members contribute recipes and they're sold for fund raisers. I can't remember exactly, but I think they sold for about $10.-$12. which I think is reasonable. In your case shipping would add to the cost (and tax for NY State buyers).
It's certainly a nice idea to think about.

Hi Doreen,
She peeled the potatoes. That wasn't on the recipe, but I ate some so that's how I know.
Thank you for telling about the cookbook. I also know there are a lot of other Amish and Old Order Mennonite cookbooks out there, too.If I need a recipe, don't have a book and can't Jean or Anna, I must admit, I use the computer, too.
I called the printer last night just to see, roughly, what it would cost to print it. Of course it depends on how many recipes, and the number we would run off.
Thank you for your help,
Marilyn
Hi folks,
My couch is here. It is really, really here and it is mine. I love it. I can't believe this. Tried to give them some money for delivering it, but they wouldn't take it. Even Pierre likes the couch.

Hi Marilyn, healthy main dishes would be be of interest for me. If you,Jean+Anna do decide to put forth a cookbook, it certainly would be welcome addition to the kitchens of NYSofMind blog readers. Whatever you all would figure the cost(in time,production,printing costs,etc)to be I'm sure would be fair+equitable. Pray on your idea together and see how The Lord chooses to lead. Blessings, Carol
BtW- your new-to-you genuine antique couch looks beautiful! I'm sure you will enjoy it for many years to come.
Hi Carol,
Thank you about the cookbook. I think Jean is going to mention it in her next post. We want to keep the prices down as low as we could, but again we don't want to lose money. We are praying about it now. I am glad you like the couch. I still can't believe I have it and thank the Lord for it.

Yesterday I made the mandarin mousse and put it in a cooked pie shell.
Dear husband loved it and said to thank you for the recipe! Thank you!
I love the recipes and all the posts, especially the pictures of all the local churches.
