Hungry?

Well, I find my stomach growling way more often than I generally care to admit. As the person who most often does the cooking in our household, you'd think that 1) I'd keep that stomach of mine contented, and 2) that I'd be a big fan of cookbooks.

Dealing with #1 is a conflict with the appetite that says "yes!" and the rational self saying "you don't need those calories!." As far as #2 is concerned, I bet if you asked my family they'd say that the meals they get are fine but there'd probably be more variety if I'd just get some cookbooks....as use them!

Maybe this site is the answer. I've run across a site called Feeding America. It's an online collection of "some of the most important and influential American cookbooks from the late 18th to early 20th century."

Feeding America has been created by the Michigan State Libraries. I guess I don't have any more excuses not to find a new recipe!
