BACK IN THE 60'S, WHEN I WAS A NEW BRIDE LIVING ON A SMALL INCOME, MY AUNT SENT
ME A COLLECTION OF COOK BOOKLETS THAT DIFFERENT COMAPNIES HAD PUBLISHED DURING
THE WAR. MOST WERE RECIPIES THAT MADE IT POSSIBLE TO BAKE WITHOUT USING THE
PRECIOUS ALLOTMENT OF BUTTER AND LARD. MY FAVORITE RECIPIE WAS FOR PEANUT
BUTTER BREAD. IT WAS A QUICK BREAD, EASY TO MAKE, AND INEXPENSIVE. THE REALLY
NEAT THING WAS THAT IT WOULD STAY FRESH FOR DAYS. THIS LITTLE THOUGHTFUL GIFT
BEGAN YEARS OF COLLECTING SUCH BOOKLETS, AND THEY WERE FILLED WITH PRACTICAL
AND TASTEFUL RECIPIES. WELL, SOMEONE ELSE MUST HAVE THOUGHT SO TOO, BECAUSE MY
COOKBOOKS WERE ALL STOLEN DURING A MOVE FROM KENTUCKY TO NORTH CAROLINA.I HAVE
SEARCHED FOR 20 YEARS FOR THIS RECIPIE, TRIED TO FIGURE IT OUT MYSELF
(UNSUCESSFULLY), AND ASKED ALL THE OLDER PEOPLE I MET, TO NO AVAIL. I HOPE
SOMEONE OUT THERE WILL KNOW HOW TO MAKE THIS DELICIOUS BREAD. IT IS GOOD FOR
SANDWICHES, TOAST, OR JUST AS A SNACK. THANKS, DIANE
