So, I was at my group at the library today, and as I was leaving, I saw a man pulling a large cart filled with books. He said do you want some cookbooks? Of course I need them like a hole in the head, but he had some really good ones like Cake Bible a well known one and the Complete Book of Barbecuing. These were all hardcover. I will have fun looking at them tonight. I think he was donating all of them to the library. He said his wife had had a stroke and apparently she was not able to do baking. Sad, I should have asked her name, so I could have said a prayer for her.

@snowy22315 nowadays most people go to youtube or internet for recipes. It is nice when you have a cookbook

I like the church community cookbooks or family cookbooks. Those are fun to snoop through.

It would be nice to know her name, but you can pray for her anyway.

Poor guy. He was probably glad to see someone get some use out of them, at least. And, I’m glad to hear he was donating them. Too many people just dump them.

I'm so sorry about his wife. It's nice of him to donate those books.

I will...but I am sure they will be parked on the shelf with all the other ones I don't use though before too long. I once was going to challenge myself to make a recipe out of one of the cookbooks once a week, but didn't last, I don't know if I made any.
