dyk, veganomicon the most intimidating cookbook I own

dyk, I don't know exactly why, but I suspect it's the hardback & the layout

dyk, I don't like when they shove more than one recipe per page and I don't like the way they spread recipes on multiple pages

dyk, I don't mind when a recipe is on 2 pages, but it's the format that I don't like

dyk, the corn casserole is not vegan or healthy

dyk, I'm sure there are many versions that you can google

dyk, the dish my mom makes was something that my grandfather would make and was the only way I'd eat corn - it involved canned corn, cream corn, milk and who knows what else

dyk, so good and it's still the only way that I REALLY like corn

DYK before you consider moving forward with something like that house, I'd think about your long term needs.
DYK is it going to be a "forever" house? If not, then I'd think hard about buying (or even renting to buy) something that someone is having such a hard time selling.
DYK I've seen too many friends end up "stuck" in their starter homes/condos way way longer (or who lost TONS of money to get out) due to not taking into account "location, location, location" when buying - especially when they weren't planning on being there long term.

Dyk thanks for the advice everyone!

Dyk it definitely would not be a forever house. It's way too small for that.

Dyk plus, as much as we'd like to move, it doesn't make sense right now financially.

Dyk I think there's a corn casserole recipe in vcon (or another one of my cookbooks) that I've heard great things about.

dyk, until then, it's alway 6:00 here

dyk but we REALLY need a 4th bedroom and a second bathroom and a 2 car garage

dyk my mom and I went to the Mistletoe Market today -- at the church right by my house (we walked across the street to get there)

dyk We CLEANED UP -- OMG we had so much fun -- just me and her -- about 50-55 vendors (local)

dyk I bought teeny tiny tupperware! Mini replicas of one of their signature tubber containers (which holds 1 ounce and has a lid) on KEYCHAINS

dyk I got 4 of them hahaah I was enthralled with the teeny tiny tupperware which was cracking my mom up
