Awww, I don't even know what condition those poor
books are in anymore. Makes me so sad, because my
Bibles are out there, too. *sigh*

Oh, wow, I have a coffee can with a tight

the can. If it doesnât run out, I put one of
those bread ties really tight on the sugar bag
just until it goes down enough for the rest to
fit. Iâd never want the possibility of a
roach, an ant, a fly or any other kind of a bug
when I canât see or hear them there. Yucky!
Well, if that volume 3 ever crawls out of the
shed, let me know, I could probably do it all
within a week or so, unless I get really busy
fast. I must have had Volumes 1 and 2 about 20
years and they are still on one of the shelves
in my basement. Sent from Mail for Windows 10

Subject: Re: [CnD] More books written for the
blind there certainly was an Evelyn Lee braille
cookbook, and it had three volumes.
Unfortunately, it is out in our shed, as we now
live in a home that is too small for a
bookshelf. Can you imagine? Sooo frustrating!
Anyway, some of the recipes are good. But there
is a tip in there I think is just nuts! Well,
many may be, but this one, if you have ants, put
your sugar bowl on a paper plate and sprinkle
ant powder onto the plate so the ants won't get
into the sugar. Well, ants literally send me
screaming, so I can't deal. But, really??? Put
ant poison onto a paper plate that you will
touch as you get into the sugar bowl? Um, I
don't think so! Karen At 07:36 AM 7/11/2020, you
