Krusteaz (horrible name, great product) makes great pancakes and all you add is water. Very helpful if you haven't been to the grocery store in a while and don't have milk or eggs. So I'm sticking with my pancake mix :) I’ll admit to buying a huge bag of pancake mix at Costco. Krusteaz (horrible name, great product) makes great pancakes and all you add is water.

I know The Joy of Cooking as the grandmama of all cookbooks and a great reference, but I never got around to buying a copy. (I got biased by the lack of photos and the font type. I know, very silly.) If I do buy one, I'll be sure to take your advice on the edition to look for :) The "How To Cook Everything" book's been touted as a worthy successor, but only time will tell if it can ever match up to the JoC book. I've been happy with it but find myself changing the recipes to suit my own tastes a lot, too :P Cool story, and thanks for the tip.

The newer ones, revised by her grandson, are terrible. (Black bean salsa? Who cares for trendy food? Just put a plain tomato one in!) Joy has all those basic recipes for stuff that comes in mixes and replacement recipes for stuff you bought in jars, but can't get overseas. The testimonials are priceless. One of them basically says, "I lived in Africa where you can't get XYZ and I learned how to make it myself from this book."
