My mom lost one of her main cookbooks in a flood many years ago, and my sisters and I share her grief over that. It was a Ladies Home Journal cookbook that she bought mail order right after she got married; paid for it in three $2 installments. I looked it up online and OY, it's $49 to get one now, and all beat up too. Good condition was a whole lot more.

But I did get a reprinted copy of the cookbook my dad's mom gave her, the 1950 Betty Crocker cookbook. Now she can leave the original to one of my sisters.

I have my grandma's noodle recipe. It's not as good as mine, but I treasure it for her handwriting.
