[food|eyb] I am being a disaster
Mar. 18th, 2025 10:05 pmCurrently open in tabs: 12 cookbooks currently available via Oxfam Online, of which: one is a potential Project (Ottolenghi Flavour; I hadn't realised that it was entirely vegetarian or trivially renderable vegetarian); one is another Ottolenghi I have not looked through the contents of yet; one is entitled Mochi et Autres Pâtisseries Japonaises, which I am kind of fascinated by but probably won't be buying; and the remainder are ones that... have not yet been indexed on EatYourBooks, sufficiently interesting to me that I wouldn't mind doing the work but sufficiently uninteresting that I expect they'd then go straight back to a charity shop. (Okay, I say that but there are at least two exceptions.) They are at least mostly under a fiver?
I have made it to the end of page 10 of 60. With any luck a bunch of them will have sold by the time I've managed to finalise an order.
(No, my first indexed book has not yet been approved or indeed fed back upon. Yes, this means I still can't request to be permitted to index any of the ten or so currently in my stack and also, crucially, my possession. Also, there is some standard boilerplate that goes on the end of responses to e-mails: "Any time you have questions or suggestions, please email us - we love to hear from members." The co-founder replying to my e-mails has stopped including it.)
