On Food and Cooking Harold McGee 1984
This book is awesome. Sometimes a little too scientific for me, but it goes through everything you want to know about food and how
His site is full of neat info, too:

Good Food Book
Jane Brody
What else can I say but that I have used this book so much that pages are falling out and it is being held together by a large rubber band!
Good Food Gourmet
Jane Brody
This one has been used less than Good Food, but still remains one of my most-referenced cookbooks
Authentic Mexican
Rick Bayless
I have had this book for over 15 years and it also is falling apart. The recipe for salsa verde rocks—I grow tomatillos and make several batches of this every summer to freeze. Chilaquiles? His version is to die for.
Sunlight Café
Mollie Katzen
Breakfast is my favorite meal and this cookbook has great recipes for all kinds of breakfast and brunch courses. The recipe for pancake mix is so good that I make an 8x batch, keep it in a large plastic jar, and use it once or twice a week for waffles as well as pancakes.
Pita the Great
Virginia Habeeb
I picked up this little paperback one up many years ago and use it frequently. Recipes for Middle Eastern pita-stuffers as well as salads and other delectable things such as hummus are presented in a clear, simple manner.
Betty Crocker’s Cookbook
I learned to cook from the 1969 version, then Mom gave me my own, the 1983 version, after I got married. Good, basic recipes.
Prescription for Nutritional Healing
Phyllis Balch CNC, James Balch MD
My go-to health remedy book. Not only does it explain all of the various nutrients and supplements and their part in a healthy body, but natural remedies for aliments from blisters to the effects of cancer treatments are included.
No recipe post today, just a photo.
One of the green frogs in our pond, this little guy was hanging out on a water lily leaf and didn't slip underwater when I walked up to it (unlike most of the other frogs that I usually only hear, never see...).
I love summer :)

Awesome! I have pics on my blog right now of the turtle we found. It was very exciting--I did not have turtles or frogs when I was growing up. I think I am more excited by it than the kids!
So cute! I wish I had frogs - but I think I mostly only have toads. I am still like a little kid and want to pick them up whenever I find one ;)
I also didn't have frogs and toads around while I was growing up, so I suppose that I am making up for "lost time" (although, unlike Josie, I don't have the urge to handle them!).
We had a Great Heron Scare last week, when one decided to use our pond as a smorgasbord. As far as I can figure, we lost about 10 of our 40-50 goldfish, and maybe a frog too, but they're still spooked and in hiding. Except for this little one! Very brave, he is. And hopefully, quick. ;)
