Peaches and Lobster

I believe that in most sensibly run households you can detect favorite cookbooks by the extent to which they are accessorized with bookmarks.

My copy of Putting Food By falls into this category.  For many years, this business card has marked the page on which the canning syrup proportions are listed, because I cannot remember from one canning season to the next that the formula for light syrup is four cups of water to two cups of sugar.

The official list of exchange names for 64 includes:

MIdway
MIlton
MIssion

OGre
MItten (really very appropriate, given Maine winters)
NImble
OGham

Total yield this year: 11 quarts of sliced peaches and 10 quarts of peach nectar.
