Very interesting. My first copy had the same cover as the third book up from the bottom in the stack in the photo. The one with the diamond shape in the design.

I have the 1975 edition, and now I know why I didn't like my '90's version, just couldn't put my finger on it before I read that article.

Second: I'm ordering the 75 anniversary edition because it's easily obtainable, but I'll probably rummage around and see it I can pick up the 1975 (6th) edition. Seeing as how it's the all time best-selling.

I checked, and that's the one I have. It's on the verge of falling apart in a few sections. :) I'm very process-oriented, so when I got my copy I pored over the ingredients sections. It's really a very good cooking textbook to learn about how and why we do some things the way we do, especially with baking.

I was still in high school when I got it, and Mom despaired that I was more interested in Joy than in my textbooks. Um, yeah! I'll take braising and roasting over algebra any day!
 
Got the Christmas gift-giving algorithm settled in less than 20 minutes this year. I think that's a record.
 
Cheerfully regressing tonight and watching "A Charlie Brown Christmas." Life is good. :)
 
My (regular, boring :D) tree has fared rather well so far. The bottom few branches are looking a bit kitty haggard, but not so bad :)

I will be cooking up some tamales in a few weeks! That really lets me know Christmas has arrived. The task of cooking and rolling a few hundred tamales, which takes up most of one full day, is really the action that catapults me right into Christmas mode.

If anyone else has activities like that please share! What is the one thing that makes it real for you, that shouts... Christmas is here!

Tamales? Oh, that's right, from the Gospel According to Juan.

It's just food. And it happens to be tasty. Your Christmas food is just the gospel according to whomever the fuck you decided it was ok to listen to.

ETA: When the seelas and irises etc log in to post about their regional specific food, I expect you to be just as much of a racist curmudgeon as you just were to me.

We do :)
The kids always enjoy bragging about it at school.
Although, now that they're older, I skipped the Krampus visit. Maybe next year I'll mess with them a bit and have only him leave "gifts." :devil: :D

Happy Independence day to you. :)

If I'm not mistaken, I could buy tamales every day of the year at the local Mexican grocery store where I buy my tacos. What makes tamales a holiday food?

Tradition.
I can also buy turkeys, ducks, sweet potatoes, cranberries, etc etc all year long.
It's no different?
