I’ve been on the search for a better way of holding cookbooks. My large books were the issue.
This one, recommended by ATK, was perfect not only because it holds heavy cookbooks, but it has a protective cover! I’ve been using it a couple of months now and couldn’t be happier!
Deluxe Original Cookbook Holder on Amazon for $37.

My favorite way to get the news is The Newsworthy podcast (https://www.thenewsworthy.com/). I came across it a couple of months ago. The episodes are upbeat and not too long. And I find it’s not overly politically biased, too. I bet you’d like to check it out!
Ah, excellent! I’ll check it out. Thanks!
