      Hi Peggy
      
      I really enjoyed reading your hub. It was interesting as well as very informative. I liked all the three recipes but I especially loved "Scotch Scones" recipe. I love to bake and I am baking sponge cake right now. I'm hoping it turns out well. I'd like to try some of your recipes as well. . . I also liked the quote by Alvin Leung. So true!
      Thanks a lot for sharing.
      
      Blessings and love as always!!

      Hi Peggy!
      What an interesting find by you-- I enjoyed reading about this booklet, and you have shared some interesting history about cooking and it's methods.
      Old is gold, as they say, and combining it with modern technology is really worthwhile.
      The recipes, which you have shared are interesting and a bit different. Would love to try them.
      Thank you for sharing.
      Thank you Misbah for sharing this in the forum.

   Thanks Misbah for sharing my latest article.  Those Scotch scones are really flavorful, and just the right size.  I hope your sponge cake turns out to your liking.

      I loved the yummy and mouth-watering cookie recipes. They were worth reading so that me or my Mom will bake them in near future. I would love to taste how they turn out according to your simple instructions. Thank you so much, Peggy for sharing.

   Peggy has created a very interesting blend of history facts and recipes. I've never used bread flour before, but Peggy's article has encouraged me to try it. Thank you for sharing her article, Misbah.

   Hi Pamela,
   
   It is fun looking back in time and being old enough to remember those old stoves.  They were state of the art at that time!  It is fun knowing that you also remember them.

   Hi Rosina,
   
   I had never baked cookies using bread flour in place of all-purpose flour.  The textures are definitely different.  It was fun learning about it.  Glad you enjoyed reading this.

    Hi Linda,
    
    Blending history facts and recipes was fun.  As to it fitting a niche site, who knows?  Finding these saved vintage booklets was a delightful discovery.  I am pleased that you enjoyed reading it and may wish to try baking with some bread flour.

    Hi Chitrangada,
    
    Loved the "old is gold" notation by you.  This booklet surely fits the description of old.  Modern technology has made many of the tasks we do easier and less time consuming.  That is for sure!  Always fun hearing from you!

    Hi John,
    
    I also have some old newspapers from the 1950s.  Is is fun to see what prices were like back then regarding food and other products.  How times have changed!

    Hi Peggy,
    
    I remember my mother used an oil gas stove to cook and bake. It was so much different back then when we were young. I wish I could discover old stuff like you did. By the way, I have never baked cookies using bread flour. It's great to know that it was used in vintage booklet recipes of yours. Out of three recipes, I think I am more leaning toward Soft Molasses Cooky. I love all ingredients in it. Thanks for sharing!
    
    Have a great day!

    Hi Liza,
    
    It is nice that you remember your mother's old gas stove.  Those did predate the electric ones.  It was my first time to bake cookies using bread flour, and it is always fun learning new things.  If you make the soft molasses cookies, I hope you enjoy them.

       Yes, it's reminiscing my childhood memories of cooking and baking with my mother. I'll let you know how the soft molasses cookies turn out. I'm getting closer to my trip. Therefore, I'd make them when I got home.
