I think my family owned that book, and alas, it's more scientific than amusing.

We also owned a rock-polisher, IYKWIM, AITYD.

I don't see what's wrong with that book on the coffee table. Doesn't everybody have one or two like that? It may not be crystals, granted, but perhaps it's how to grow sprouts, or how to grow mushrooms (pro-tip: you have to get some stumps first).

9: These zucchini fritters are really very good.

Ah-ha. Latkes, I said to myself, and so the recipe says. Cool. You could do that with other stuff too - parsnips, carrots, squash, what have you.

(If you are suffering from an abundance of end of season zucchini, there's a recipe I favor from Bugialli which is not online, but this version will do (it's essentially the same thing except for the bowtie pasta instead of spaghetti and mixing it up instead of laying the fried zucchini on top) and Bugialli his ownself is in a promo video for creamy ricotta and zucchini with spaghetti.

"Ass" amplifies "sneaky." It's possible that mother left the book lying around herself, having borrowed it from the geologist she's been fuckin. You might could ask her.

On the other hand, it is well known that geologists have tremendous beards.
