Ham-Spaghetti Skillet- Nancy Carter Recipes

Our poor beaten up Chargers lost. I thought they did pretty well considering how many injuries our team had. I actually watched the entire game. I must admit I am not that much of a fan, I am usually paying more attention to the computer than the game.

Last week I received a box of pamphlets I won on eBay. There were about 30 and I only paid $3.99 so it was a great deal. One of them is Thrifty Recipes From Nancy Carter's Cook Book a folder from Albers Super Markets a division of Colonial Stores. Apparently they put out a series of recipe folders in the early 60's.
