of course it buys happiness

Snagged at the last minute on eBay.  It holds recipes now.



My copy of Claverhouse, by Gordon Daviot, finally came!  It took two months and four days to arrive.  This verifies my theory that the postal services of multiple countries hate me.  The book isn't in great shape, but it's fine.  It has a musty, used bookstore smell to it, which I like in musty, used bookstores.  Not so much in the kitchen when I'm eating my lunch.  But so far I'm enjoying the story very much.

Put the book in a paper bag with kitty litter strewn over it, and leave it for a week or so. That should get rid of the smell.

Whoa, really? Very cool. It's better not that it's aired out a little, but I may have to try that. Makes sense, since litter is so absorbent.
