[CnD] old braille cookbooks
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.

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. -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark On Behalf Of lorischarff--- via Cookinginthedark Sent: Saturday, July 11, 2020 10:51 AM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: lorischa...@gmail.com Subject: [CnD] old braille cookbooks I think for NLS to reissue the books they would have to be put into UEB.

Re: [CnD] old braille cookbooks
I can read the UEB, but don’t really have to like it, haha. 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.

Re: [CnD] old braille cookbooks
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.

Re: [CnD] old braille cookbooks
Pauline and All, I really goofed up, that place is in Madison, Wisconsin. I’ve had my mind on several other things today. I also lost my younger brother, Dan, who took his own life in May. So I apologize if I get a little batty once in a while. I’ll go and get that info. In fact, I copied the whole page, so I’ll just send it up here and you can look at it. The most recent book I got from them in March is a little book called Simply Better Easy Potlucks. I’ll be right back and just copy that big page.

Re: [CnD] old braille cookbooks
Hello Again, A Leaf From Our Table is up on BARD. I downloaded it several years ago when I had access to an old notetaker that was donated to the place where I used to teach. BARD also has braille and audio versions of Cooking Without Looking. I used to own a copy of this book. It got damaged at the house I grew up in.

Re: [CnD] old braille cookbooks
Seeing It Our Way is a monthly magazine put out by Horizons For The Blind in Crystal Lake, Illinois. It has a recipe column by Kathy Claus and they have knitting and crochet patterns, which I can’t knit or crochet a note, haha. It is 30 dollars a year. I’ll have to renew by September. Sometimes, you kinda get 13 in a row, but not sure all the time. They were pretty late during the past year, but unfortunately, the director passed from cancer in May. They also sell braillebooks, pans and lots of neat stuff in their Gadget Gallery. A lot of the braille books would interest me but are high. They have a microwave corn popper that’s about 9 or 10 bucks.

Re: [CnD] old braille cookbooks
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.

Re: [CnD] old braille cookbooks
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!

Re: [CnD] old braille cookbooks
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.

Re: [CnD] old braille cookbooks
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) On 7/11/2020 3:21 PM, WitKnit via Cookinginthedark wrote: Hi Linda and list.

Re: [CnD] old braille cookbooks
Thanks, Karen! He was 59, he was 8 years and 3 days younger. He was over here on the first two Saturdays in May, and I had made this big crockpot of bean soup with all kinds of veggies and stuff in it. He seemed to like it, because I was answering questions about what was in it. Then on May 9, he seemed really down and I did start to worry. He made an attempt on April 22, and stayed at the hospital for six days. But he swore to me and to God he would never try again. But, it was reported to us on the 17th of May he never showed up at work all week. My son had to go and open his house with the police and they found him. I’ve never had anything so awful happen. With my husband, George, we knew it was coming in 2012. I’m sad he never got to meet Firefly. Dan loved my dogs, both guide and just pet ones. I think he just got bvery depressed with some things at work. We went to some nice concerts together in recent years. Like Kenny Rogers, Gordon Lightfoot, Paul McCartney and the Eagles. We also met the lady who was the little girl in It’s A Wonderful Life. She was 76 when we met her and he bought a picture. I’ll klways have those memories.

Re: [CnD] old braille cookbooks
I can read the UEB but don't ask me to write it. I don't like it either. I suppose many of us who have read braille forever don't tend to. On a second topic, I just read through that list of cookbooks. Can you imagine having all of those in your library? If they were braille rather than electronic copies, I'd have to move out of my house in order to make room for all the braille books. I thought I had collected a lot of recipes over the years but mine are nothing compared to all the ones on that list.

I remember that little booklet, and I actually owned a bottle of angastoria. You used it in recipes to help the flavors blend, or at least that was the theory.

I remember that little booklet, and I actually owned a bottle of angastoria. You used it in recipes to help the flavors blend, or at least that was the theory. In fact, now that you mention it, I always used a tiny bit in my pecan pies. Looking back after all these years I can’t say if the stuff really did anything.

Re: [CnD] old braille cookbooks
A lot of those books that were in my office were on thermoform so they held up pretty well. The binders and book covers got old and and started to break. Those books were treasures, but they were not mine to keep, otherwise I would have. Laura, I'm so sorry for your loss. This is so tragic, and you are in my thoughts Please take care of yourself and I'm so glad that you have those memories of good times together.

Re: [CnD] old braille cookbooks
I have some cookbooks in my office but not many. The thermoform books were great for us because if one managed to get something on one of the pages they could just be wiped off with a damp cloth. As for UEB, I have a friend who calls it “ugly English Braille.” Makes me grin every time it comes up.

Re: [CnD] old braille cookbooks
Hi Pamela, Yep, I’d have to move out too but I do read all the reccipes on my SD cards in my Vic. I’m glad I have more than one, but I just use one when I am recording. I try to do them in smaller groups so I don’t wear my head out, haha. I’ll have to look so I can tell you what I have had so far. There is one book I did not do, it’s the Pillsbury fast and Healthy book. I found out I had downloaded it from Bookshare. So, I just read the contents. That way, I will have the contents to browse, so since as you probably know, I know I am preaching to the choir, but here is what I found out. You can, of course, play a book from there in your Vicand he or she will read it to you. However, when you open that big folder in your computer, you go down a couple folders where it says the name with XML at the end of it. Open that folder, and there, big as life, it shows you the entire book! Really, you can see every word! That shocked me, but is also very cool, because then you can look up a recipe and find it. I was amazed because no one had shown me before. So, no need for me to write out that Pillsbury book. But I’ll go look up what I did speak on the Vic.

Thanks, Linda and Everyonee, I don’t want to forget anyone. There is so much strength in prayer. I had an idea, I’m not really a singer. But I wonder how the family and friends would react if I started singing the Lord’s Prayer? Well, I suppose why not? Hmm. Maybe they can join in if some of them would like to sing along.

I’ll have to look so I can tell you what I have had so far. There is one book I did not do, it’s the Pillsbury fast and Healthy book. I found out I had downloaded it from Bookshare. So, I just read the contents. That way, I will have the contents to browse, so since as you probably know, I know I am preaching to the choir, but here is what I found out. You can, of course, play a book from there in your Vicand he or she will read it to you. However, when you open that big folder in your computer, you go down a couple folders where it says the name with XML at the end of it. Open that folder, and there, big as life, it shows you the entire book! Really, you can see every word! That shocked me, but is also very cool, because then you can look up a recipe and find it. I was amazed because no one had shown me before. So, no need for me to write out that Pillsbury book. But I’ll go look up what I did speak on the Vic.

Re: [CnD] old braille cookbooks
I was talking about books from Bookshare, not that library, they are just braille books. I was talking about seeing the entire contents of a book from Bookshare. Did you also know that your Victor can read you the BRF files from Bard, you need no braille display to hear it at least. Your Victor speech voice reads it, and you don’t even need to have the Victor authorized to hear the BRF books. You do for the audio books though. I can hear the braille ones or magazines on any of my Victors and I only have one of them authorized right now. I never knew for a while that braille books, the BRF ones, are all open.

Re: [CnD] old braille cookbooks
I'm not good with reading the mannuals; they are too technical for me. Right now I am using nvda which is very different from window-eyes which I used until my whole system crashed. I'm also using mozilla so that to is a big learning curve. At my age they say it's good to learn new stuff, but fi I had something to learn from it would be a whole lot easier. I'd love to be able to make a recipe folder, forwrd a message, etc. I know in time I will.

I'm glad there's a way to translate all those little bumps into audio or text on a computer.

Re: [CnD] old braille cookbooks and UEB
I like it ... Ugly English Braille. I believe they were trying to make it easier for Braille transcriptionists as I've heard some partially sighted folks say that the UEB looks like the print of whatever the new Braille is supposed to be. I can read it, but I sure can't write it. I'll be 58 in September and I'm hanging on to the books I have that are in the old style. This has certainly been an interesting topic. I used the Cooking without Looking book when I was in high school at the Indiana School for the Blind. I do think that lady that wrote it could have used more description about some things. All take care.
