Guest guest Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I don't know how many other members have this cookbook but I lost mine a few years ago. I lent it out and never got it back. Well today I dropped some items off at the thrift shop and found a copy in very good condition for $1 I was so excited. It's a great old vegetarian cookbook.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Thanks for the info on Deaf Smith.I can't wait to go through the cookbook and find my old favorite recipes Donna Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry " Nancy Curtis " <nancihank Thu, 15 Jan 2009 22:07:44 Re: Deaf Smith Country Cookbook You are so right, Donna......The Deaf Smith County Cookbook is a really good one. I bought my copy in the 70's and love it. It has some great recipes and information on cooking all kinds of grain in it. For those of you who don't know, Deaf Smith County is named after Erastus " Deaf " (pronounced " DEEF " ) Smith, a partially scout and soldier who served in the Texas Revolution. He was the first man to reach the Alamo after its fall on March 6, 1836 after 187 men had defended it for 13 days All 187 men in the Alamo died that morning but 1,500 Mexicans also died. Some of the heroes of the Alamo include David " Davy " Crocket, William Travis, Jim Bowie and William Bonham. Although " Remember The Alamo " became the battle cry of Texans, the decisive battle of the Texas Revolution was fought at San Jacinto, outside Houston, Texas, in April 1836, where Sam Houston led the 19 minute battle where hundreds of Santa Anna's troops were killed but only 9 or 10 Texans died. There is a large mural painted on one wall at the Texas state capital building in Austin of the heroes of the Alamo and " Deaf " Smith is one of the men in the painting. You can tell who he is easily because he is cupping one hand to his ear in order to be able to hear the speaker.....I think the speaker is Sam Houston....but, it has been years since I actually saw the mural. I remember learning about " Deaf " Smith in high school Texas history class. Deaf Smith County is home of Arrowhead Mills, the first company in the state to plant and harvest wheat by totally organic methods.....I believe it was in the early 60's....a man and a company way ahead of its time. Arrowhead Mills is a good trustworthy brand. Something else a lot of people that are not from Texas do not know is that Texas is the only state allowed to fly the official Texas state flag, The Lone Star Flag, at the same level as the flag, The Stars and Stripes " , of the United States because Texas was an Independent Republic before it decided to become a state in 1845......it is also the only state with the right to secede from the United States today and become a sole republic once again. Proud to be a native Texan of French decent 4 generations back..... Nancy C. East Texas I don't know how many other members have this cookbook but I lost mine a few years ago.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Hi everyone, There are so many yummy sounding recipes posted here just wanted to say thank you to everyone. I am not but have a granddaughter 11yo who is lacto-ovo vegetarian. I rarely eat meat and eat lots of grains, veggies and fruit. We live on the coast and eat seafood although I do have thoughts of " why am I eating this " . Good recipes and also an interestingly told bit of American/Texas history which I enjoyed very much, thank you. Makes me want to go out and find this cookbook. My husband laughs at me because I love to browse cookbooks. For the past 10 years I had not cooked much while working but now retired (temporarily anyway I guess) I have the time and find it fun and necesary to find creative ways to lower our cost of meals.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Garage sales are good for cookbooks, too -- people seem to buy them or get them as gifts and then never touch them. Library sales, also. I'm addicted to library sales... I buy books the way other women buy shoes -- but fortunately, I frequent cheap places, like $1 for a hardback and 50 cents for a paperback!
