Favorite Cookbooks

I love a lot of cookbooks, but if I'm going to get one these days it's most likely for the delish graphics inside. I'm talking, of course, about those nifty 60s and 70s cookbooks with all the yummy illustrations contained therein. Like this wheat germ cookbook. I actually have parts of this one at home, I got it in a haul from a very old neighbor (the lady was old, not the neighboring part) who had files and files of clipped this and that and I did a little party for her so she wanted to reward me, I guess. Either that or it was in my dear departed Dad's collection. Just don't remember. Well, that said, here's a recipe from the book of unknown source:

3/4 cup chilled buttermilk
3 tbsp. KRETSCHMER Wheat Germ

(measure, blend, serve)

I love these little "product" cookbooks; basically you just add their product into anything you're already making - meat, salad, sides, even desserts in most cases - er, just look at the bacon producers peddling bacon in ice cream and caramel covered bacon. OK, the caramel covered bacon is total yum, but you know what I'm talking about. You hardly need a cookbook to add wheat germ into a meatloaf recipe, but you get a nifty keepsake cookbook out of it.

I should have a binder for all these clippings. I did weed it out a couple months ago, and now the stack is only about a foot high; I know I could do better. I can certainly order a binder from my Zazzle shop, but which one? I am a ball of indecision. I'm thinking the fairy one, I always liked her.
