Where have I been? Freaking the fuck out about Trump is where.
The cost of things has absolutely skyrocketed. Many social services are at a standstill. Businesses are firing people.
And we're about to retire in a few months.
!!!! SO LETS TALK ABOUT COOKBOOKS !!!
This month I said to myself 'Self, let's buy you a Valentines gift' so I bought myself a pile of used cookbooks online yesterday and now I can't remember the names of them all. Well, I remember one - Sunset's Kitchen Cabinet cookbook from (1935?)
I collect vintage Sunset cookbooks, and this one has been on my list for years!
Tell me you wouldn't buy this. HA. You can't. You would totally buy this.
Thing is, I was supposed to buy a baby shower gift for a friend of mine. Off I trotted (figuratively) to her online baby registry, which refused to co-operate and pissed me off, and now I have to wait and try it again in another week, don't ask me why. I may just buy her a gift card and send it snail mail. ANYWAY. So there I was looking at my credit card balance, and I thought to myself 'Self, you can't take it with you.' And then...I must have entered some sort of fugue state.
Yeah. That sounds good.
Thing is, I have two in my cart over at Abe Books, marinating, waiting for that 'Hey Nations! Get 20% off what's in your cart if you purchase now!' notification. Well worth waiting for are these:
The Biker and I are rabid Tony Bourdain fanatics and this is going to take a place of honor our bookshelves!
I have been wanting this since the freakin' 1970's, when I could have bought it for a buck ninety five, it looks like. Now? I am spending way, way too much money on it and I don't care.
Yes it's available for free online.
THAT'S NOT THE SAME.
I guess this is a predicament I look forward to having.
WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE COOKBOOKS? Answer at length in the comments!!
...or the passive aggressive twat who drives this car that I spotted in Lynden will come chew on your doorknob at night!
