writerkitConvenient local bakery is closing soon. Consequently, the cookbooks they're selling are 20% off. This of course attracted my collector's acquisitiveness when I stopped in for a bagel and found out they're closing.
Back in the days when we could still attend the Havard Bookstore Warehouse Sale in person, Mathfriend instituted a rule that I have to actually open and look at the recipes in any cookbook before I purchase it, which actually did result in my changing which cookbook I was going to buy this time-- the pie one was full of fruit pies I can't eat and not much else. Meanwhile a book of Southern baking wouldn't ordinarily catch my attention, but I picked it off the shelf to skim because it was there and I was waiting for my bagel, and wound up purchasing it primarily on the strength of a recipe for sticky pecan rolls that can be made in less than half a day. (This is surprisingly difficult to find.)
I will report back once I actually use it for something.
