And inspired. Despite having 734 half-finished projects at home (from gluing a broken toy to painting the exterior of the house), why not add another? I have a Depression-era Hood Basic Cook Book, which was my grandmother's then mother's and saw me through college and is still useful today. Especially if you are looking for alternative fats and sweets to use when your butter or sugar ration coupons have run out.... In any case, it is tattered and decomposing; since its condition makes it have no commercial value--yeah, I've watched Antiques Roadshow--rehabbing won't "ruin" my antique. I’m impressed!
