New Editions of Old Favorites Men Like. #12

[outsdr.livejournal.com]

I don't know much about this; I found it tucked in the back of my Betty Crocker Recipe Card Library. I can't find a date for this either- i'm guessing mid-60s? This is number 10, so I'm guessing it's part of a series. Definitely a few recipes on here that I want to try, however!

The JPGs should be printable quality; if they're not, I've included a link to a higher-quality PDF I made as well.

oh wow...those are great looking scans...is that due to a good quality scanner or is there a scanner secret? (i'm not too hip on scanners, photoshop, etc)...

and how difficult is it to make things into a pdf file? can you do that with the free adobe reader??

sorry about the questions....just curious....don't ask, don't learn!

that spring delight cake looks AWESOME!!!

Hmm... I've been scanning for so long, it's second nature to me. I'll scan some more tomorrow, and make notes of the steps I take.

I make my PDFs through Acrobat Exchange, but some scanners have software that let you scan directly to a PDF file, and Photoshop lets you save files as PDFs.

And that cake is EXACTLY the kind of recipe I'd want to make as a child and be pissed when it didn't turn out looking EXACTLY like the picture.

I must have driven my mother crazy.

i have a basic scanner...it automatically saves them as .bmp but i do a 'save as' and save them as jpeg since i can't upload .bmp's to LJ....

i have photoshop 5.0....i can crop, and um, that's about it!

thanks for any pointers! those were just amazing looking scans....

actually i'd make that cake NOW and i'd be pissed cuz it wouldn't turn out as pictured! but it looks great!
