I Have a Little Addiction
Yes, I actually have lots of addictions, but this one is to:
Cookbooks!
These pictures do not contain all of my cookbooks, I have a large stash of “other” cookbooks in another location. In all honesty, I have been good and haven’t purchased a cookbook in several years. Avoiding the bookstore has helped, because I am drawn to the cooking section…and then the spirituality section. The literature area, the new arrivals….gah! It is best that I just stay away!!
Since Starr had moved home from her apartment and was moving into the sorority house where she didn’t need any furniture, I thought that it would be okay to ”borrow” her bookcase instead of storing it in the basement. I moved the smaller bookcase to my bedroom and am using hers in the dining room/living room. I had run out of room for books in the house, the extra bookcase in my room has helped. It is almost full!! Moving these cookbooks, looking at them, holding them, sparked my desire for new books to add to my collection.
The before shot. A year or so ago, I was taking a picture of the table. I had to move the plant recently because Bella loves to jump up and skid across the table. Taking everything in her path with her!! The plant has taken a beating.
“New” bookcase.
Cubbie One.
Bella helping!
Cubbie two.
Cubbie three.
And cubbie number four. That is me, in my boots, surrounded by manure at my grandparents farm in Tennessee. Looking quite blond.
Your cat on there cracks me up! Yours look so neat! Mine are all willy nilly!

She was being so silly! She fell off the books the right after I took the picture.
Do you like cooking magazines too? I get a couple and I always find something I’d like to make.
.-= JLO´s last blog ..Building a Fort =-.
I used to subscribe to several, but am down to just Cooking Light. I love to look through them!
Hey, it could be a worse addiction, right? I love cookbooks too. But I prefer the ones with pictures, because everything always looks so good.

I might feel better if it was my ONLY addiction! : )Pictures do help with the decision making process!!
Your dining room looks great! Mine is a pile of scrapbooking supplies!

You don’t suck! I have these cookbooks…they collect dust!! Yet I still want more. I have a problem!
Now I seem to print most of my recipes from online and then put them into a binder.
.-= Yaya´s last blog ..A Bump In The Road =-.
I do this too!
That is classic! And stinky!!!!
.-= Live.Love.Eat´s last blog ..Apple Dumplings =-.
Ha ha! I was confused for a moment…dusty maybe, but stinky?? : )
Oooops. The classic and stinky was for the fish pic of you and your brother.
The cookbooks – well, I have that same Martha Stewart Hors Doeuvres book. Love it.

I love cookbooks too, but got rid of many when I moved. I find myself cooking from recipes on the internet instead.
Bella is so cute sleeping on the books!
