She made me pizza one night. i was primed and dug in. I spat it out almost immediately. I thought it was a pepperoni pizza but it had carrots on it! Turns out it was from Lucy's cookbook. I hated it.Ah memories. We still laugh about that pizza.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09305592313290458150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420871845813973733.post-89153162314055806202016-05-28T21:31:59.563-04:002016-05-28T21:31:59.563-04:00I lived on a commune in the 70's, Livewood out...I lived on a commune in the 70's, Livewood outside Eugene, Oregon. Lucy, alas, never visited us, but we bought the book and thoroughly enjoyed it for the recipes, but especially for the vignettes of commune life, and we all fell in love with Lucy Horton and her picture. Lucy, where are you now? I'd love to thank you.

Once, Lucy brought me something she'd made, a confectionary of sorts, made with dates. I was very attracted to her, but at that time I did not like dates!<BR/>I'd love to be in contact with her again.Gershon Ferencyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12757484584751851273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420871845813973733.post-36501894955402657052008-10-30T20:08:00.000-04:002008-10-30T20:08:00.000-04:00I knew Lucy Horton and her brother when they were ...I knew Lucy Horton and her brother when they were in High School, have not seen either one in 45 years or so.

I peeled many an onion to go in her pot with a wooden match held between my teeth to keep away the tears. There was always a jug of maple syrup in the center of the great round table to slather on any food. And, oh! the potato volcano!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05908123686482056890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420871845813973733.post-78714550257255143842008-09-02T09:48:00.000-04:002008-09-02T09:48:00.000-04:00That sounds like an interesting book.

I enjoyed this one so much that I may start a collection, though I'll bet they're pretty hard to locate now!<BR/><BR/>Joanne, the cookbook was copyright 1972. <BR/><BR/>Tut, I think you're going to love the book. It's one of those that's almost more fun to read than cook from. <BR/><BR/>I also like to collect the "lost" church and PTA cookbooks.JGHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16710652130966518173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420871845813973733.post-85825480357714905992008-09-01T21:17:00.000-04:002008-09-01T21:17:00.000-04:00Ah, the mystery.
