Thank you Mr. Cooking the Books for buying your wife a camera and (kindly) pressuring her to make videos! I'm a newer subscriber, but this channel has become what I put on when I want to relax and "hang out" with a friend. It's now part of my Comfortube playlist.
Yes! Thanks to Mr Cooking the Books! Well put!
Agree too 💯% ❤
I have relayed your thanks to Mr. Cooking the Books. 😂 Thank you so much for watching! Happy to hear you find my videos relaxing.
Wholeheartedly second all of this!
Awwwww. That's sweet, Butter pecan❤
I am 71 years old and your videos transport me back in time to my mother, grandmother and aunt's kitchens. Delightful memories. Thank you.
I love this! Thank you so much for watching. ❤
I totally am on the same page as you are, Nancy!
I must say you are a UA-cam “It Girl”. There are a lot of people who post cooking videos and even quite a few that post vintage cooking videos but you are a natural in front of the camera and your beautiful personality shines through. I’m glad your husband bought you that camera now we all get to enjoy you. I predict your channel will grow quite large just because of the “IT” factor, thanks for all the videos they are a treat.
Oh thank you so much for your kind words! ❤
I started watching Tasting History with Max Miller when he had 15k. His channel grew quickly. Now he has over a million subs and his channel grew fast. I hope that Mrs Cooking's channel grows that big and fast.
The thing I love about your videos is your lack of pretense. You are honestly interested in the recipe, how it might work, and how you see a fail coming. When I first started watching I thought you might be a librarian! Your love of cookbooks is so obvious. You do a great job and I look forward to each video!
Oh thank you so much! I decided pretty early on that my channel was not going to be about making the BEST recipe for this or that. Not my style. 😂 I really enjoy trying new things to see if they work. I've discovered some fantastic recipes along the way!
I actually guessed that @CookingtheBooks was an accountant, lol!
Amen to that! You are so genuine and just a hoot, Anna!
Congratulations on 10K and surviving the tuna mold ring. You’re an absolute gem here on the Internet.
Thank you so much! 😊
She's almost at 15k !!
Now she is at over 16k. Congrats!!
I made a "salmon mousse" which contained gelatin - I even bought a special fish-shaped mould to make it in. I served it as a starter. It was yummy, and looked lovely on the dinner table!
She is my pretend bestie.
Trust the Tupperware, Anna! Trust the Tupperware! The seal holds, and the two-piece aspect makes release really easy. 😊
The magic of Tupperware! 😂
I have my grandma's tupperware jello mold, it doesn't have the center bundt it has a center that has interchangeable discs, one is a christmas tree, a turkey, a heart and a flower. I don't know if there were other ones. I actually want to make this😅. I make a vegetable lime jello that most people in my family like and sunshine jello that has carrots in it.
I love the tupperware measuring cups and spoons. My mom had those when I was little.
I have that exact same mold. I bought it back when it was new, and used it to make ice molds for punchbowls at parties.@@cooking_the_books
We lost our 18-year-old cat about a month ago and everything you said about your dog resonates with me so much.
Very sorry for your loss. ❤ It's so incredibly hard.
@@cooking_the_booksIt's a loss that people who don't have pets can't fully understand. You're never ready to say goodbye. ❤
I was crying with you. Hold on to the love you and Dottie shared.
Sorry for your loss. We lost a 17 year old and 18 year old kitty last year, very close together. Miss them so much
I dressed as Betty Crocker one Halloween. My husband was Mr Clean.
Oh wow that is a GREAT combination!
Those are awesome costume choices!!
I started my very own, albeit tiny, collection of vintage cookbooks BECAUSE of you and your channel.
That's awesome!! So glad you found inspiration from my channel. 😊
I came for a recipe and stayed because of your personality. Sometimes I actually laugh out loud at some of your little comments. Congratulations on your achievement!
Oh thank you so much! Sometimes I can't help but say how I feel in the moment...and it's definitely gotten me in trouble at times. 😂
I love the way you talk about Betty Crocker as if she is real and I always assumed you knew she wasn't...lol. The Santa Claus comparison in spot on. I also collect vintage sewing books and paid $30 for one (and happy to pay it) through an online used book store. Then a couple weeks later, at an estate sale, found the same book, in better condition, for $1.00!! Definitely more exciting to find them in the wild. Congrats on your continuing growing channel...so entertaining.
Thank you! It never even occurred to me that people would think I didn't know about Betty Crocker. Imagine my surprise when I started getting comments about it! 😂
@@cooking_the_booksit says a lot more about those people than it does you! 😂
Congratulations 🎉 Anna! I was so excited when I heard the release of the mold. Thanks for the Q and A. I'm sorry about Dottie. You're right, we never have enough time with our beloved pets.
Thank you. ❤
Congratulations! You’ve hit 10K and shot right past!
I felt your pain when you talked about Dottie. Been there too many times. My heart goes out to you.
Thank you!❤️
I absolutely love how good natured and respectful you are of recipes that aren’t appealing to you (or me) but could be to another person. You are kind, positive, and encouraging, and I don’t think we have enough of that in the world.
So sorry for your loss! 🐶 🙏🏻 Congratulations on reaching 10 thousand subs! I always look forward to seeing your new videos pop up. 🙂
Thank you so much. I appreciate your support!
So, trick from another "I don't like crunchy onions or celery" person: grate the onion on either the smaller side of the box grater or on the zester side of the box grater. And you can get the flavor of celery without the texture by adding a pinch of ground celery seed.
Bless you! You are such a dear soul and it is a privilege to watch your videos! You remind me of myself when I'm in the kitchen.. a messy funny klutz! 😊❤ I certainly teared up when you spoke of Dottie, my dear cat of 11 years passed away a couple weeks ago suddenly, I like you have no kids and our pets are our kids. ❤🌈. But here's to many more subscribers!
So sorry about the sudden lost of your kittie. Saw your post on Anna's video. I'm a kittie mom.
@@melissalambert7615 oh you're so sweet. Thank you for that my fellow Kitty mom 💕
Thank you. ❤ and so very sorry for your loss. It's incredibly hard.
My last dog lived to be about 17; she was a rescue at 3-4 years old and we had her for 13 1/2 years. She finally became so arthritic and confused (chronic vestibular syndrome, which is like "dog Alzheimer's") that nothing could make her comfortable and we had to let her go. It's been 12 years and we still miss her. We were lucky to have her that long and that she was like a young dog until the last 6-8 months. It's never enough time.
I'm so sorry you had to say goodbye to Dottie. She was adorable! It's never easy. Big hugs!
My mother’s women’s group at church had potlucks. I have eaten this; my favorite is the lime jello, mayonnaise, pineapple, cottage cheese and I think nuts jello salad. I love your videos and your channel.
Oh I think I could go for the lime jello & cottage cheese version! Sounds like a great combo. Thank you for watching!
Me too !! Loved it!
Great vid Anna ! Enjoy many of the same interests as you - and you have such an enjoyable format to relate them! Dotty was a dream and her participation was a plus. ❤️ Continued success! 🎉🎉
@pammienakh Thank you!
You are the BEST! I’m getting on people’s nerves by insisting they watch you. Thank you for such a fun group of videos.
My wife recently passed away a couple years ago about. two years ago. and she did all the cooking I worked two jobs my whole life. I'm in my 50s. and I never really learned how to cook. I want to say thank you for putting on these videos. I find it relaxing to watch your video. Read your recipes. Hence I'm learning how to cook. I have to say my grandma used to make this jello ring. and it was really good. I think she used lemon jello, though. I could be wrong. but I always wondered how she made it. So thank you for this video. It's very nostalgic. I appreciate everything you do. God bless and thank you for the great meals.
I applaud you SOOOO much!! I think my favorite bit of dialogue was, "this is pretty low stakes"... I, literally, laughed out-loud!
Thank you for being there and cheering me on from the very start of my channel! ❤
You’re so calm, I love it. On my end it says you posted this just 3 weeks ago and as of today you are at 25k!!! So happy for you, love the videos!
I'm so sorry about Dottie, she was a cutie. My cat Kitt, my best friend for the last 13 years, passed away on the 5th of this month at age 17. He moved with me from Dallas to Austin and back, to Western Kentucky, and here outside of Tulsa. You're right, it's never long enough with them. It sucks. But cheers to the good times!
New subscriber here…. LOVE your energy - love your channel - love how real you are & adore your laugh and smile. From one furry family to another, so sorry for your loss… although new to the channel, loved seeing Dottie breaks. Thank you for your content.
And by the way, I think Betty Crocker is real…. Just like Santa! 😉
Oh thank you so much! And so glad you understand the way I like to think of Betty Crocker. ☺
When my sister & I were young, my mom made plain tuna in tomato aspic. No one would eat it, so we teased her about it. Well, she got mad & forced us to eat a big helping. I still remember watching 'Mr. Ed' & choking down tuna jello! I have the same mold w/removable center--it makes the release kind of magical.
I have been watching and enjoying your videos for the past few months. I'm in Southern Ohio. I loved seeing Dottie in the videos and am heartbroken to hear if her passing. She was just adorable. I am an animal lover and inherited my mother's dogs as well as my aunt's dog before/when they passed. Since then i have lost several of them. You're correct. No matter how long they live, it's never long enough. Sorry for your loss and thank you for sharing the wonderful Dottie with us.❤
I like to think Betty Crocker was real *in a way*. She is an amalgamation of all those women in the test kitchen and on the radio show.
She is solid...hahahahaha.. loved that. But I watched the whole video, and when you talked about keeping your positive comments in a folder and you read them when you have a bad day. I related. I look at my scrapbooks all the time, the trips I have documented the places I have been, people say to me "you scrapbook oh that sounds like a waste of time and money". But they bring me such joy...I always wanted to teach scrapbooking on youtube but feel like no one will watch or everyone will leave bad comments, don't think I can handle that rejection. I love watching you cook these old strange recipes and you eat them, it fascinates me, I love cook books so I am here for the long run, keep up the good work! I will be watching and waiting for the next big fancy recipe!!!
So sorry about Dottie. I’ve been watching your old videos and I didn’t realize she was gone. It is so hard to lose our furry family. I lost one of my cats to cancer a year ago and I still struggle with it sometimes. 😢
Lol, when I’m cooking with Betty, I talk to her. Like, geesh Betty, what were you thinking. I’ve always replaced her books when I’ve worn them out. Thanks for being real.
Exactly! See, you get it. Betty had some uh...interesting ideas!
Love how you tried so hard to remain positive with this recipe! 😂 Congrats to you on 10000 + subscribers!
Thank you!! 😊 I do try to keep in mind that my tastes are different than someone else's and that maybe they LOVE this dish. We like what we like, and that's ok!
Great that you’re open to trying many different foods! I have seen so many of these savory gelatin molds in older cookbooks and I have to say they kinda scare me. 🤭It was interesting to see you prepare and try one. 😊and oddly satisfying to hear the release from the container!
Heres too a 100k subscribers. One of my favorite channels.
Our fur babies are family members. ❤❤❤ always remember she lived her best life with you.
Absolutely! The joy of finding treasures in 'in the wild'.
Hubby is watching this over my shoulder and as you are stalling before eating he says "if that hits our table .... we are going to sonic" OMG I am dying laughing.....
😂
Oh mu gosh I wasn't expecting the news about Dottie. I love cuts to her. She was obviously a happy puppy and it shows that you made the best life for her. Love to you for that!
Thank you Anna . It’s been fun watching you as you answered questions. I love that you are so down to earth. It was also heartfelt about Dottie as I’m still watching past videos. As for the Tuna Ring um maybe when I turn 70😂 I’m 65 now. God Bless You and your husband Anna until next time.🙏❤️🙏
I'm so sorry about Dottie. She was beautiful and I loved your 'Dottie breaks'. She was so cute, with her one ear flopping down.
As a now-new subscriber, this is my second video I've watched, and I think this is a great introduction. I'm so glad to see this niche of people showing old recipes/cookbooks and having inter-generational conversations through food. My latest favorite cookbook is one from the 1880s promoting woman's suffrage I found at a library. From one generation to the next (I'm nearly 28), I find it wonderful that you're casting such a wide net. Totally agree with you about the product booklets being hidden gems.
Congrats to the subscribers and here's hoping you get much more! You're lovely on camera with a wonderful laugh and smile.
Tripped over your channel, so much fun! I have several of those cookbooks, I don't use them as much as I used to, but I can't let go of them! I especially loved your video of the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. I have the one my aunt gave me as a wedding gift in 1968, and when my mom passed I inherited hers from the 1950s. Both are still precious. I laughed at the cheese bun-ees, I never could bring myself to try it. I'm 72, your channel keeps me young!
I'm just catching up! You are just a delightful young lady! I love to watch you and hear you giggle at little things. You have a very relaxing way about you. Thank you! Keep up the good work! Oh! BTW: I'm born in 1964, raised in the 70s and teen and young adult in the 80s. I love to see these decades and anything before!!
Were all so glad that you took the leap and started sharing your videos. I have that jelly mold that was a wedding gift to us back in 1974. I use it every year during the holidays.
Thank you for sharing about Dottie, we your viewers loved her!! And thank you for talking to Betty Crocker in your videos, I think you have said, "trust Betty" when it looks questionable. I find myself now saying that, too. I love thinking about her like Santa. And I think about the women in the test kitchens and Better Homes and Gardens test kitchen, I wish we had a documentary. I got some lovely finds In The Wild recently, and I was thi by, "I wish Anna was her,I'm so excited!"
I don't use recipes often, but when I do, it's because I find one that intrigues me. "Wonder how this will turn out? What will it look like? What will it taste like?" You seem to pick recipes the same way. Also, UA-cam says this video was posted 1 month ago and you were celebrating 10,000 subscribers. Now, one month later, you are almost at 30K. Congratulations!
Ok! I have just discovered you a week ago! I love the episodes I have seen so far! I’m in my mid 50s and my mom and grandma had so many old school recipes like the ones you try! Give me a recipe with good ol Campbell mushroom soup anytime! Wish I had found you during the pandemic! Keep up the good work! You are a sweetheart and love to see how the recipes turn out!
I’m actually posting a second comment because I wanted my comment about Dottie to be a standalone. I absolutely adore your channel. With all the vintage cookbooks that I lost in a cross country move it is very comforting for me to watch your channel and suddenly there’s something that I had at one point and I don’t have it anymore. So thank you from the bottom of my heart. Um about the celery… I take it a homemade(ish) cream of celery soup, with a crisp celery salad on the side, no matter how much the vintage cookbook raves about how delicious it is will not be the 15,000 subscriber celebration? 🎉👩🍳🍲
Thank you so much! I'm glad my channel can provide some comfort. And it's safe to say...I will not be preparing a celery dish at 15k. 😄
I'm sorry about Dottie. I hope you feel better soon. Grief with pets can be deep.
I know why I love your channel so much. I feel like you're approachable. I love my verrry old cookbooks and making the dishes. I finally organized my culled down collection by categories. It took a while just staring at the bookshelf and rearranging them until it looked just right. I'm going to challenge myself to cook from each cookbook every week. I'm not sure how long it will take but I have loads of brand leaflets and soft cover church cookbooks so I better live to be a hundred years old. In other words, we are kindred souls. You're the best!
Thank you!! ❤ So glad you're planning to take some of those cookbooks down off the shelf and cook from them!
Congratulations on 10K subscribers! I prayed for you as I watched you try the tuna ring. Bless your heart!🤣🙏❤🙏🤣
I love the word: gelatinous. A friend of mine once described that as what chicken feet taste like.
I cant believe anyone thought you didnt know betty was made up! That is sooo funny! Its clear you are tongue in cheek when taking to betty😍😂
Hurray!! You braved the Tuna Mold! 😄 Congratulations on 10K!! Watching your show is always a highlight in my week! Thank you so much for bringing all these wonderful vintage recipes to life!!
Thank you so much! ☺ I had to keep my tuna mold promise!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I started watching you around 2,200 subscribers and I absolutely think you’re such a kind and fun person. I do the same thing with my pizza stone. I just made a homemade pizza on Friday and Saturday when I opened the oven door and saw the pizza stone, I actually said a swear word. 🤭
Oh my gosh, I just made pizza on Thursday, and same thing! 😂
Wow, your story about Dottie really resonated with me-- I had a 16 year old dog, my absolute constant companion, his name was Horus. He also developed seizures in the last year of his life, went through huge temperament changes, and I eventually had to make the hard decision too.. .I've never gotten over that.
Also, ain't nothin' wrong with celery!!
I’m so glad I found you on you tube- you are a delight! Thanks for talking about your sweet doggo. My partner and I share our memories of our pup - she will always be part of you
Thank you ❤
OK, I discovered you about 8 months ago, and after the first video, I did, OF COURSE, subscribe. One thing I loved was that you are so real. Julia Child made mistakes, and kept on truckin'. You do too! I hate to go there, but I must. I miss Dottie. We had to put down our Lizzie (Borden) a year ago. She started having seizures, so I relate to your situation. She was with us for 15 years, and I "hear" her still today. I feel your pain, Anna. SO...don't make any more gelatin molds! (Kinda sounds like an Aspic?) Love you, and keep on truckin'!!!
I’m 70. In my childhood house, we kids ate tuna mold ONLY spread on saltines. Adults ate it on a lettuce leaf. Once I left home, I never had it again!
I found your channel based on the collaboration you did with Jen Chapin and I instantly knew that I had to subscribe! I love vintage kitchen wares and watching your videos keeps me looking for “new” old things. I’m currently on the hunt for that blue and green enamel pan set! Love it!!! There are many nights that I put on one of your playlists and watch until I fall asleep. One day I’ll have watched them all and will have to start over. 😂
Oh thank you! It makes me so happy to hear that you find my videos relaxing. I really lucked out on that pan set...my parents (who somehow have the BEST flea market and thrift luck!) found it for me for $15. Can you believe?
I’m catching up on your past episodes-I love them!! I miss seeing Dottie! Thank you for sharing her with us❤
🥳🎉Congratulations on reaching 10K subscribers, won't be too long before you hit 15K 🎉🥳
Our little dog Roy is 22 years old, and was active and spry until recently. He's not in pain, but getting very wobbly and pacing a lot. So I'm right there with you on how hard it's going to be to say goodbye, likely soon.
OH Roy sounds wonderful. ❤My heart goes out to you.
Omgosh, I just found your channel…OBSESSED! You inspired me to get find the Betty Crocker Recipe Box! I lost my mom 3 years ago, and she had this when I was a kid!!! My mom never cooked, and we were an ingredient only household,so I spent a large part of my childhood looking and drooling over these cards! I’m going to make some of the recipes I looked at as a child with my granddaughter. Thank you for the memories and inspiration. Also, I’m a huge dog person, I’m so sorry for the loss of your beloved Dottie. ❤
Thank you. ❤ The recipe card library is SO much fun! If you haven't already, check out the channel @UnboxingBetty. She's cooking her way through the entire thing!
YAY-10k!! Think I’ll pass on the tuna ring🤣. I love looking at your cookbook collection. My mom had many of them and I wish she would have saved them for us. When she and my dad moved into a retirement community she got rid of most of them. I do have a few pieces of her mixing bowls snd casseroles. AND I have the WHOLE melamine,space age dishware set!!! Thank You, Anna,for helping me to remember memories of my mom cooking in the kitchen!
I want to let you know I really enjoy your cooking. I love vintage cooking.
Thank you for sharing your love of cooking.
Congratulations 🎉
I have collected cookbooks for many years now, but after watching you, I decided to collect cookbooks from the late 60's to the early 80's.
Thanks for the idea.
Hugs to you and your family losing a dog is so hard.
You are so, so brave to make this recipe. I have just recently started watching your channel and this one is my favorite so far. Not because of this recipe, it was disgusting, but because you revealed so much of yourself. I have had the Betty Crocker cookbook you use for over 40 years and can say the recipes are tried and true. It is a really good cookbook for young mothers trying to make good meals for their family. Keep up the good work. We love you.
I use the unflavored stuff in making gummy bears. Diabetic. So, it's pretty good. The sugar free ones, are really hard on the digestive tract. One of the funniest things I've read on the internet is when I googled reactions/reviews to sugar free gummy bears. LOL Hysterical! Congrats on 10K. Tasting History put out a video on Betty Crocker a few weeks back. He went through the history of Betty Crocker in his pineapple upside down cake video.
YES some of those reviews are hilarious!! I really enjoyed Max Miller's video. I highly recommend my friend Melinda's channel - Unboxing Betty - if you haven't watched her videos already. She's cooking her way through every recipe card in Betty's 1971 Recipe Card Library!
@@cooking_the_books Yeah, I've been watching Melinda's stuff. I was horrified when she didn't rinse the chipped beef before using the stuff. It's really good. But, I can't imagine how salty that dish was. Someone from that era would have known you have to put it in cold water for about 15 minutes then dump that water and put fresh water in for another 15 minutes. I felt so bad for her, that had to be just awful.
First video from your channel that I have watched. Love your style, your humor, and your honest emotions. I will definitely subscribe to your channel and watch your earlier videos. Dottie must have been a good dog, indeed, and I look forward to seeing her in the videos. Keep sending these jewels out for all of us to enjoy.
I just found your channel. Obsessed. You are so down to earth. You are very eloquent. You are very open minded.
I especially love after you've filmed the recipes, you talk about the book you used. Your perspective and how you also try to educate.
Top notch.
Thank you so much! ☺
I’ve been curious how you tracked your cookbooks and it’s year, so I was happy you hear you touch on this topic.
You’ve inspired me to start looking at cookbooks in the wild and I picked up some this weekend while out with my mom. I was really drawn to a pamphlet that also had handwritten recipes tucked in and ones clipped from newspapers. I think about how the previous owner took the time and care to put together. I also bought a few church booklets and flipping through one, I found the same recipe my grandma use to make for me & felt kismet.
Your husband sounds like a great partner and so supportive of your interests which is just wonderful. Congrats again on 10K.
You go girl! It's a real challenge to brave a bite of food you mostly dislike on video for us all....Well done!! I enjoy your channel much. Bless you both for the loss of your furbaby!
I found your channel very recently and I love it! I had pulled out a pile of my own vintage cookbooks, including my mother’s 1963 McCall’s. My sister came over Saturday and I showed her one of your videos - no bake fruitcake. We followed along in the book, remembering all the things Mom cooked from it, & reading her notes in the margins. We will be making the no bake fruitcake. Dottie was such a lovely little girl. Thank you for sharing her with us! She will live on in our hearts along with all of the other beloved pets that have graced our lives.
Thank you. ❤ Hope you enjoy the no bake fruitcake when you make it!
Oh my goodness I havnt even watched yet!!---but the picture of the TUNA RING!
I am so sorry to hear about Dottie - I loved watching her sniff and explore on your walks with her. I have fond memories of the cookbooks and recipes you’ve featured, so please know that you bring so much joy to all of us. Happy Thanksgiving to you.
Thank you for addressing your sweet Dottie. I had wondered, but didn’t dare ask. Your channel is so fun and I’m now wanting to find vintage cookbooks and kitchenware in the wild myself 😊. Thanks for sharing!! ❤
I've been subscribed for less than a year, I've watched some of your older videos and always loved your Dottie segments. I really love dogs (and I don't currently have a dog) and I have a cat named Dottie. Thanks for all your cooking!!
I stumbled across your channel three weeks ago, and I’ve been binge watching your older videos ever since. Such fun and interesting content and you are so cool to watch. I love your harvest gold Tupperware measuring cups and all the other vintage items you use. Your videos never disappoint. You were meant to share your love of vintage cookbooks and recipes. Lucky us! So sorry to hear about Dottie… she was a real cutie pie and was clearly much loved. You’re right though, it’s never enough time. Never. I read somewhere that the day we bring a furry one home and make them part of our family, we also sign up to get our hearts broken one day. But there’s so much love and joy in between those two days… it makes it totally worth it. I do hope one day some other very lucky pupper will pick you and your husband to be his forever humans. ❤
Thank you. ❤ What you said about bringing a pet into your life is so true. We are not quite there yet, but hopefully one day we will feel ready again.
I love dogs more than most people. I grew up with them and had them my whole life. It brought tears to my eyes listening about Dottie. I loved seeing the Dottie breaks. I know exactly what you went through and how you feel. There’s nothing harder than losing a loyal friend who is literally with you 24/7. They leave the biggest imprint on your life and the biggest loss when they are no longer with us. No amount of time is ever long enough to have them-that’s the hardest part of having a fur baby. God Bless Dottie and you for loving her and giving her a wonderful 16 years. She was so beautiful. ❤🐾🌈
Thank You 🥹
Hello Anna! Huge congratulations on reaching 10,000 subscribers, and even more (now over 14,000!)! Wishing you continuing success with your channel, and looking forward to more cooking adventures. Best wishes to you!
Thank you so much!
And the courage to try some of the mystery foods of the past!!❤
I’m so sorry you had to say goodbye to Dottie. But she had a great life!
I love your videos! ❤❤
Ana-I just wanted to say that you have been so inspiring to me to try new things and to collect old things. I watched just one of your videos and you got me hooked on the vintage vibe and I’ve begun collecting vintage cookbooks myself. I joined a few Facebook groups where I can buy them-I’ve net so many wonderful ladies because of your inspiration. I watch a video (at least one, many times more!) every day-you’re part of my morning routine. Thank you for your unique content and your love for cookbooks and cooking. Your sweet Dottie is always with you-our furry family members never truly leave us. Thank you for it all!
Thank you. ❤
I love your channel and your sense of humor! Proud of you eating that celery.
Good you discovered the secret to Tupperware jello molds. I was just getting to tell you offline (i.e. armchair quarterbacking) when you suddenly asked. No hot water needed, no oil needed. Just burp that baby and go. Another fun video. I have a delicious tuna and tomato soup recipe I can find buried somewhere that I can share. Ought to make your day. LOL but it is absolutely delicious.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. You’re right we never have enough time with our beloved pets. My dog was almost 17 when I had to put her down. She has been gone for six years but I still miss her so much. You’re girl Dottie was a cutey. It’s OK to be emotional about it even after a year has gone by it shows that you loved your girl very much. ❤
Thank you. ❤
@@cooking_the_books your welcome 🙂
By the way I’m super super sorry about the loss of Miss Dottie 😢 losing a pet is a terrible terrible thing one of the most horrible feelings in the world!!! All my pets right now are getting up there our cat is 14 and the other is 7 then the dogs are 12 and 11 we just lost our rat Zen last year it was horrible it never gets easier… pictures talking about them and just knowing you gave them all the love in the world and receiving their love is the best… just know you did the very best thing you could for her … very selfless and beautiful ❤
I watched for the warmth and humor of you, I subscribed to see more of Dottie. I just loved the humor in her name and that made me feel like I wanted to spend time with you. I love your videos.
It is Definitely worth celebrating your success. I adore you so much and am so blessed to have met you in this UA-cam world!!
THANK YOU! You're the best. Cannot wait to meet IN PERSON next month!
Congratulations on hitting your subscriber milestone. I love vintage cookbooks and have almost all the Taste of Home magazines from the early 1990's. Love your videos.
So excited for you reaching 10k!! Congratulations Anna! Hearing about Dottie broke my heart but im so glad she lived a nice long life. Keep up the great work, and heres to many more subscribers!
Another terrific video, Anna! I couldnt help but giggle at your dubious face and slight shudder when you bit into that bite of celery! I'm sorry there are those who have been unkind about your videos, I love your positive response. Please take comfort and be assured that there aresome of us watching who look forward to sharing part of our Sunday evenings with you! Keep being you!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! That CRUNCH of the celery...I really just couldn't hide my feelings. 😂
I am so sorry for your loss. I know you took the very best care of Dottie that was possible. I love your channel---you have renewed my love of vintage cookbooks and now I look for them "in the wild" as you do. 🙂
Thank you ❤
Yahoo! You did it! Good job reaching 10k AND braving the Tuna salad. 😂
Finding your channel has reinvigorated my love of vintage cookbooks and I’ve even been able to find a few in the wild recently that you’ve made recipes from. I actually made the can-can chicken casserole from the minute rice book last week and we loved it! I put green beans in and it made it taste very similar to a green bean casserole. Thank you for the recipe inspiration!
Thank you! Oh I'm so glad you made the Can Can Casserole. I love it when people try the recipes I share. Green beans sound like the perfect addition!
You did great! I have never in my 79 years made a gelatin mold and I think it's not in the cards for me. I watched you birthday cake episode from last year and the cake was adorable! How did it taste? So sorry about Dottie-she was a real punkin'. The loss of a pet is overwhelming and I have been through it many times. The cutest thing I ever heard about pets is the reason God didn't give our pets wings is so that we wouldn't know there were angels among us.
Thank you. ❤ Last year's cake tasted...just ok! 😂 It sure was fun to decorate though.
Love your channel, it's like comfort food from a bygone era.
Your story about Dottie. Oh man. I just lost my 15 year old little guy. His name was Pio De Jesus Pico, Last Governor of California Under Mexican Rule. (Chihuahua Rat Terrier Mix) about a month ago. My heart broke into a billion pieces. Dogs really bring so much to our lives. I enjoyed seeing Dottie in your earlier videos, and I can tell she was a very well loved and sweet girl.
You are very brave. As soon as you pulled the slice out and I saw the chunks, I had to look away lol!
It was a harrowing experience. 😂
