The cooking section is great! Finally I can read how to properly cook for a man, and cook for western living! 😂 1930 cookbooks here I come!

Somehow I read that as "properly cook a man".

"The title! It says, 'To Serve Man!' It's a COOKBOOK!"

Really old cookbooks are hilarious, especially the American ones that are promoting one product so it's shoved into every recipe in some horrific way.

You can find some truly disgusting old Jello recipes.

Wow! Thank you! One of my brightest hopes shining through all of this is that maybe if we make it out of this mostly alive that things like this----the free sharing of resources and information----will continue, or at least become more commonplace.

I'll be happy if all the white collar jobs that have been forced into a work from home position will finally make that commonplace enough that it's regularly offered. Everyone (almost) has put together policies and procedures for doing it now.

Ill be happy if all these essential jobs start to make more money then all these white collar jobs that are WFH.
