Strange books indeed.  I looked at Wagamama.  Maybe I missed something but I saw no noodle recipes?  Humphrey Slocombe did not appeal.  Almost never do I pass up an ice cream book on sale.  But I'd want to evaluate a recipe first.

 

The Ritz seemed like a safe enough purchase till I saw gin in a French 75.

 

 

I did buy the Wagamama book.  I did make one recipe from the Slocombe book, it was for a strawberry ice cream which had 1/2 cup condensed milk as one of the ingredients.  The ice cream was tasty enough, but i made a note to use less salt should I make it again.  The recipe called for 2 teaspoons.

You can skip one shipment per year.  I should do that or just drop out and order what I need.  But FOMO won't let me....🙃
