I've given up on Facebook. I was an early adopter, long before they opened the site up to the general populace. There was a time when it was only available to college students, lo these many years ago. Back in those days we old geezers had to use MySpace (remember MySpace? Didn't think so).

I was wandering through the Warranty department at my day job last week and stopped to shoot the breeze with one of my co-workers. While we were talking, I noticed four kitchen exhaust hoods on the shelf. I was curious, since we do not sell kitchen exhaust hoods.

I collect old cookbooks, preferably used and well worn. I buy them inexpensively at flea markets, used book stores, and yard sales. When I open the fragile pages and find an old stained recipe, grocery list, or a birthday card, I feel like I am opening a time capsule. I love scrutinizing the old recipes, noting what ingredients were popular, and what particular dishes (usually long fallen out of favor) were considered fashionable at the time. I love making fun of the old jello molds, kodachrome pictures, and fatty meat roasts. And at times, I actually learn a little more food history, and feel like a low budget archeaologist.
