I usually buy cookbooks from PTA's or Churches, and I don't go for ones from 'healthy' communities. I want the GOOD food with taste.

Thanks for the information.

Interested in my favorite recipe, Chicken baked in cream with almonds?

Ewww. Don't buy anything from PTAs. In order to be a PTA, a local group must send $1.75/member to the National PTA, which lobbies in lock-step with the NEA. And they claim to be the most wonderfulest child advocacy organization and blah-blah-blah because they have oh-so-many members and politicians listen to them because they have oh-so-many members. I used to rationalize giving money via fundraisers to our children's school PTAs until the other day when I read from the PTA newsletter that they paid national dues and state dues for the total number of students in the school even though that many folks had not actually joined. In other words, the money that I or other donators to the PTA had given was then taken to give to a lobbying organization that I don't approve.

(this is my pet peeve of the week/month/year.)
