I put another copy of the Ellis Island Immigrant Cookbook in the auction. This time I'm not trying to split the profit, I'll just pay Tom for the base cost of the book and donate all of the auction proceeds to Mudcat. I pay the postage. That's what I ended up doing the first time when Gnu won--$51 went straight to Max. (Thanks, Gary!)
I put a very large file in the photo link this time. If you visit the earlier closed auction you can see the cover, but with this offering you can read two facing pages of the book itself. One recipe is a simple Irish recipe for Jersey Clam Pie, the other is the Bonsignore's Italian Sausage recipe, cherished by a family that sold their sausage commercially. The recipes are listed alphabetically by country, so this is why you have Ireland and Italy next to each other. Read these pages and imagine a book filled with dozens of personal stories about favorite family foods, and you'll have a hard time resisting this auction item!
