The Joy of Cooking leaves no stone unturned, even showing how to gut game. (eww) and prepare sweetbreads. (ick)

I gave away many cookbooks when we moved here permanently because a lot of the information was available more easily on line. I love to cook. I find simple things like Custard so yummy, and find joy in a good meatloaf.


What are some of your favorite things to make that are not difficult?
Gracie, My cousin Mary Louise Early and her husband Roger owned Early's Antiques in Milford / Terrace Park. This is her corn pudding recipe, simple but fantastic!

4 cups fresh corn cut off the cob
1 tsp salt / pepper
2 Tbs sugar
3 slightly beaten eggs
2 cups milk
3 Tbs melted butter

Grease a casserole dish with 1 Tbs soft butter add mixture and bake at 350d for about 1 hour.
