Oh, the Braille Transcribers Guild in San Diego did a lot of cook books.
Wonder what ever happened to them all? When I left the center I kept a
lot of them in my office. There was also a really nice one from the the
Minnesota school for the Blind. I remember one that I read that used
Angosura in every recipe. I always wondered what that was because there
was never an explanation, but I think it's some kind of lizuor. (smile)

Hi Linda and list. I do remember that cookbook you mentioned, but I don’t know
her last name either. The book had been transcribed by the San Diego
Transcribers Guild and I had a copy for many years. Wasn’t it something like
Elena’s Mexican Food Cookbook? I didn’t know about her radio show though.
Darn, I might have enjoyed that. Evelyn

Hi everyone:
in the seventies there was a lady who wrote a Mexican cookbook who was blind.
Her name was Elena, and I can't remember the last name. She also had a
cooking/kind of dear Abby radio show in Los Angeles. Does anyone know about her?
Also, I wonder if we took a survey who would say they like Ueb? Maybe it's just
the learning curve, or something, but I wish Braille hadn't changed.
Everyone stay well and safe!

Hi Pauline,\
You may be right about places feeling uncomfortable about sending braille books
out.
I’ve gotten a couple of them from Dr. McGee’s Bible bus place in California
over the summer. But they are for you to just keep, not something coming back
to them if you are borrowing books as you would at the Library.
They do sell copies of some of the stuff but cannot sell it if it was donated
to them from someone.
I like the cookbooks that they have from churches, those recipes are so good.
They give you a month but you can ask for one more month if you can’t finish
with it right away.
I record them on my Victor Stream. That way I am not frazzled about getting
them back to them on time.
I did get your message in the other place and will get back to you very soon.

Good Afternoon,
I have not heard of this Indiana resource Lora mentioned. Could you
post contact information for them, please? You may not be getting
materials from them due to what's going on right now. I have heard
from several correspondents that their libraries have temporarily
stopped sending out braille materials due to the pandemic. One of the
places that sends out monthly devotionals has done this.
On another subject, I am with Lora as far as UEB. I can read it but
don't like it. I wouldn't have taken courses to learn it if I hadn't
had the possibility of needing to teach it. Of course, I don't have to
worry about that right now.

Hey, have any of you guys gotten braille cookbooks to borrow from the
Braille Library and Transcribing Service in Indianapolis, Indiana?
I just started getting them somewherearound a year and a half ago. I think I
had about 8 books, but have not received one for a couple months.
I also get Seeing It Our Way Magazine.

Yes, they would have to be put into UEB. So somebody would have weeks and
weeks of back-translator fun. It would probably be easier to just retype
them.

I think for NLS to reissue the books they would have to be put into UEB.
I have a braille copy of "THE BRAILLE COOKBOOK COMPILED FOR THE BENEFIT OF
THE BLIND HOUSEWIFE." By Marjorie S. Hooper, Braille Editor American
Printing House for the Blind and Mrs. Paul J. Langan Kentucky School for
the Blind. It says it was embossed in 1948. This book is only one volume. It
describes the labels in the introduction but, the book I have does not have
any remaining. It goes on to say that you can purchase labels from APH or
"the housewife can make her own with a slate and
Stiless and gummb lables from the dime store.
Looked to see if I could locate the recipe for BIG BOY but it does not seem
to be in the index with that name.
