Picked up an extra copy of Emma Bull's Finder at the library sale, anyone want it? (aka, free book!)

I also picked up a random magazine -- The Upholsterer and Interior Decorator, June 15, 1931, and was going to see if anyone on LJ wanted it. Then I found it out was selling on Abebooks for $20. Sooo... maybe not. Must investigate selling options. Unless there is anyone here who really wants to buy it (for less than $20, naturally)?

I caved and got vols. 6 and 9 of Saiyuki, so now I can read straight through (I have 4, 7, and 8 currently and sat in Borders reading 5).

All the cooking shows going crazy over the holidays and eating coffeeandink's tasty food and marvelling at the fact that she actually made it all has sort of inspired me to cook. Well... we'll see how it goes.

Things I want to try:
coffeeandink/Moosewood Restaurant's cornmeal scones
Alton Brown's fruitcake
AB's oatmeal
Some gingerbread recipe (anyone have a good one?)
AB's clotted cream
heres_luck's polenta
upsy_daisy's garlic chicken

Do you want thin, sturdy house gingerbread or moist, cakelike gingerbread to be consumed immoderately with whipped cream (or your aspired clotted cream, for that matter)?

Uh. I don't want crispy gingerbread... sort of a soft cookie consistency?

Although cake gingerbread sounds good too... wow, who knew there were so many kinds!
