Canal Fulton, OHI own a lot of cookbooks but the only ones I curl up to spend a few hours enjoying are my Gooseberry Patch books. The first 3 books I bought were for friends for Christmas giftsI thought I would take a peek before I wrapped them. Well, it turned out that my friends got other gifts instead.

I couldnt part with those books!Janis Parr
