RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I live in sunny San Diego, Ca. My husband and I collect cookbooks, we have over a thousand. Our daughter is grown so her room is now a book room. I admit that I will usually look up a recipe on the net first. It is so much easier than searching through a bunch of cookbooks. I look at my cookbooks for enjoyment. I have a lot of vintage advertising booklets which are very interesting. I enjoy blogging about my cookbooks.</p>
