I'm On A Roll With Blogging!

Almost 3 days in a row, that I have been blogging-this is almost a new record for me.

Lots to talk about today. I've been busy-running errands, picking up new cookbooks to list, etc. I will also be listing music books I picked up from an estate sale today. I have quite a few song books for vocal, guitar and piano, but it will take me awhile to get it all sorted out. My musician friend was upset to hear I was selling these on EBay. I explained to him, that actually I was sharing the music, in my way. Most of the people that purchase my song books when I have them are from Montana, North Dakota or Alaska-in areas where they probably don't have access to purchase them . I make very little money off these and I do like to think that I'm sharing these with someone else. Probably some collectibles in here for music buffs.

Remember when I told you yesterday about the Romance Writers' Conference I went to. A fact I forgot to mention, but I find interesting-most of the published writers there, are with Mensa (the super smart group of people). Unfortunately, I don't fit in that catalog-hopefully I can still write mynovel, finish it and then get it published.

Today, I finally got to a free art exhibit that is being offered at the Paris Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Right off the hotel lobby, as you come into the Casino. Celebrate with Harlequin. You know those romance novels. This exhibit featured 60 years of Harlequin Cover Art, 1949-2009. It was very well done. I don't know how long the exhibit is going to last, but more information can be found at http://www.harlequincelebrates.com/.

I am going to share three cookbooks, that are worth looking at on my EBay listing-Valerie2901 or general heading of cookbooks: Cool Cooking-Recipes of Your Favorite Rock Stars by Roberta Ashley. Many rock stars of the 70's included personal favorite recipes. A few of them are: Elton John, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Tom Jones, Kris Kristofferson, Helen Reddy and many, many more. Impressive list.

Also today, I listed a book Middle Eastern Cookery-Foods of the World/Time/Life series. There are very few books on Middle Eastern Recipes-so this may be one for your collection. Beautiful photographs and travel stories are also included.

And lastly German Cookery by Hans Karl Adam. This cookbook was translated from German to English in 1970 and includes recipes for foods from Berlin, North & East Germany, Hesse, Westphalia, Thuringin, A Silesian Childhood, Bavaria, Swabia. Also included are stories and legends about eating and drinking in Germany.

Something to consider if you are in the Detroit area, Feb 20, 2010-the 3rd Annual Glass Slipper Ball. The Zonta Club features the best of Detroit Metro Chefs. For more information, go to http://www.zontasouthfield.org/.

That's all for now.
