See my post 179.
Nearly all the recipes are submitted by "Mrs. (husbands full name)" for example, "Mrs. John Smith" which isn't often seen anymore. It must be a sign of the times.
Interesting about the Mrs. (husbands name). I haven't seen that in a long time either. Cute though - adds more character to the book.
Number 2 was the one with the George Rodrigue ("Blue Dog") prints for all the section covers - wonderful. Had a crawfish shucking and a hog-butchering and all kinds of fais-do-do's depicted.
