Sunday I went to the Herkimer County Historical Society where they were celebrating the launch of their new cookbook, Home Town Recipes From Our Table to Yours! They had several of the recipes represented, and encouraged me to sample whatever I wanted. Yum!
I just love the cover!
Alas, I did not take any pictures other than of the cookbook itself, but I sampled carrot cake, rhubarb cake, and chicken wing dip. I can’t wait to try those and other recipes in the book.
While there, I chatted with Cassie Castle about this spring’s murder mystery, which I am supposed to be writing to benefit the society. Naturally I am having trouble with it. However, Sunday morning when I noticed the cookbook launch and decided to attend, something clicked in my brain. As I washed the dishes and did a few other chores, in my head a voice was saying, “Cookbook… cookbook.” And the next thing I knew I was making notes and starting a script with the tentative title, Recipe for Murder.
Of course there are still several hurdles to get over before I am once again murdering for fun and non-profit. For one thing, I need to field a cast. Oh yeah, and finish the script. Maybe if I make one of the recipes in my new cookbook, I can get even more inspired.
If you are interested in purchasing Home Town Recipes From Our Table to Yours! you can contact the Herkimer County Historical Society at 315-866-6413.
