Peanut Butter and Bacon on white bread toast was a STAPLE in my family growing up! It is ooey gooey and delicious! It did not have mayo on it but I have seen BLTs with mayo and peanut butter at sandwich shops though.

My dad absolutely loved bacon and pb sandwiches! Also, as a once or twice a year special treat he would top a waffle with bacon and pb....and a scoop of ice cream, preferably maple pecan. I also enjoyed the sandwiches, but the waffle concoction was his unique treat.

Those cupcakes look amazing! A dear friend of mine passed away in March, and today her husband gave me her mini cupcake baking pan. This thing makes 48 mini cupcakes! She must have made big batches for church dinners over the years. I think McCall's Best Chocolate Cupcakes would be a good recipe to inaugurate the pan for myself.

I have a copy of the McCall's cookbook from 1963. It's wonderful. My copy once belonged to an elderly neighbor who went into a nursing home after her health got bad. Her kids were planning to trash her cookbook collection as they cleaned out her house. I saved them. That day my old cookbook collection got an incredible boost. She had dozens of old cookbooks from the 1940s through the 1990s. 😊

My go-to egg salad is mayo, mustard, and sweet pickle relish added to grated hard boiled eggs. But I'm not going to pretend that it's the one true way to make egg salad! It's just my favorite. When making a sandwich out of it, that's when I crack some black pepper over it.

The red and white lunchbox is a bento box. And I think I'd have to make the egg salad with scrambled eggs, if I made it. And I may! It actually looked delicious. 😋 (I'm not a fan of most egg salads. I don't like hard-boiled egg white.) I think the pineapple spread is more of a cracker spread. At least that's how it looks to me.

@russbear31 2 ай бұрын

If you're familiar with the first Betty Crocker cookbook (1952?), nearly all of the cake recipes use the reverse creaming method. They called it the "double quick method." That cookbook's cake section is a little confusing at first. The reverse creaming method is on the left-hand page. On the right-hand page is the same recipe, using today's more familiar mixing method. (Fat+sugar+eggs first...) They gave you a choice of your preferred method. Supposedly, reverse creaming produces a cake with a better texture. 😊

Hello! Completely enjoying your channel. I have a copy of Woman's Home Companion Cookbook, circa 1946 that I grabbed for $1 at a thrift store. Very in depth and interesting piece of work. It weighs in at three pounds. A mix of color and black and white photos. Tons of techniques. I recently looked in it for a German potato salad recipe. I could only find one called a "hot potato salad." I wonder if it was due to the timing of the release? There is so much more to vintage cookbooks than the recipes, for certain. :)

I love this and love your what looks to be a vintage book collection as well as dishes used in the video. And the prep bowls with the Deviled Egg Salad Sandwiches!! So cute! Thank you!

Me and my good friend are having a tea soon, I would love to try the pineapple sandwich for this, but alas our menu is set so maybe next time. Anna I love your channel. And I have already gotten a cookbook because of your channel and now I really want to get the MaCalls cookbook to add to my collection.

Anna I received my McCalls green 1963 cookbook today and I love it, and for sure I will make the pineapple sandwiches for our next tea. Our tea was a great success. Have a wonderful week.
