As I mentioned in my previous blog, I am leaving today to visit my mom in her beautiful, picturesque town of Point Reyes Station, California. I’ll be writing my blogs from there for the next couple weeks. I hope to find more cookbooks at the thrift store in town that I can tell you about, but not before I head to the Cowgirl Creamery for some Point Reyes blue cheese, and then maybe go enjoy it at the nearby Point Reyes National Seashore. Shouldn’t be such a hard couple weeks, do you think?
Why I Started This Blog
I love cookbooks. I mean I really love them. I love to read them, treasure them, learn from them, and, of course, cook from them. To me, cookbooks take on a life all of their own. They are history, family, and memories. I have been collecting cookbooks and writing down treasured recipes of family, friends, and neighbors since about age twelve, which means I now own thousands of cookbooks, recipes, and clippings. Now I want to share them with you along with the many other culinary treasures of my cellar." - Debbie Vanni
Since I can’t visit Cowgirl Creamery in person, I’ll enjoy it vicariously through your blog. The Point Reyes blue is one of my very favorite cheeses. Have fun, eat well.
I’ll be in town tomorrow for the cheese, Farmer’s Market, and then the thrift shop to see if they have any cookbooks. I have already found a bagful of books from another thrift shop by the car rental place, which are probably the ones that will be on the blog next week. No Wine Road books yet!
