Book haul

[serene]

I had a bookalicious day today. I met stonebender for our periodic Library Day, and then we went bookstore-crawling. I picked up the following, and the ones I spent money on cost me only about $20 total.

From the library:

Las Fiestas de Frida y Diego: Recuerdos y Recetas (Frida and Diego's Parties: Memories and Recipes) -- The pictures are beautiful, and I think it would be fun to try to cook from Spanish recipes

The Pressured Cook (pressure-cooker recipes)

Miss Manners' Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behavior

Teach Yourself Esperanto: A Complete Course for Beginners


From Other Change of Hobbit:

Farthing


From Half Price Books:

What Would Betty Do? How to Succeed at the Expense of Others in This World and the Next (Betty Bowers)

Wild in the Kitchen: Recipes for Wild Fruits, Weeds, and Seeds

Cooking with Gluten and Seitan

The Heartsong Tofu Cookbook (adorable 1977 hand-lettered cookbook that includes recipes and diagrams for making one's own tofu)

Not Milk... Nut Milks!

Recipe Keeper -- a pretty binder with sheets to fill with my mom's recipes, then send the book to her as a gift.


I am happy. Book lust is, for the moment, satiated.

the first tofu i made was inspired by that cookbook, which i found at a friends of the library sale. :)

This was one of the last things I expected to show up in a google search for esperanto "kissing hank's ass".

Oh, how hilarious. My partner wrote "Kissing Hank's Ass". (He's someotherguy.) He says he's not aware of an Esperanto version, but if you do find (or create) one, he'd be happy to hear about it.
