Collection or Obsession

I  LOVE  cookbooks and you may not think it to be that unusual but when you consider I no longer cook it is a little odd.......I have them everywhere...

On the counter as a display

A shelf in the dinning room..see that one on the right? It was my Mom's 

In a basket

                                                                       On top of the  kitchen cabinets

On top of the microwave

On top of the refrigerator

Shelf above the sink

But this is only a fraction of them because there is a cabinet reserved just for them above the little desk area

 

Notice the box on the bottom right....

It holds all of these.....

and see all these files?

They are filled with recipes I have cut out of other books or made copies of.

and of course I have my own recipe book I have compliled over the years

I often buy little recipe books when  trave like this one I bought in San Antonio, Texas

But

there is even more.......

I collected all of these for a specialty resturant I was dreaming about and many of these

included pictures

and when I go to the grocery store or any other place what is the first thing I go to look at?
