I just saw that Baco was on sale (Kindle, US Prime) for $3.99 today. Don't know if that price will last. While you're there, look through the list of related books below, as there are some other bargains (many of which have been cheap previously) included, at least for me.

Thanks, even if $3.99 is on the upper edge of my price range.  I have a copy Baco home from the library at the moment and I deemed it worth owning.

Bought the sausage book. I wanted to get started on making my own sausages to come up with some that my DW would like. Most Costco/Supermarket sausages offering put for the corporate belief that people will only buy spicy or pepper-centric sausages.

Don't be embarrassed. It could have been worse...you could have bought the hardcover version and then bought it all over again. At least Amazon alerts you to duplicate Kindle purchases. Spin it as a positive...:B

Aggravates heck out of me. I just bought the whatevereth anniversary edition of Moosewood. I don't know that this one will be that much different...but for two bucks, I'm surely going to find out.

 

Don't ask. Eat it.
