Ha ! I didn't realize I was spending so much on processed goods.

In any case, I am making more stuff from scratch and enjoying it greatly. The only problem I see is that I need to make less cookies and bread and more soups!

I keep thinking about growing up in my grandparents' home and eating home-made this and home-made that... it was always tasty.

Maybe with all the "forced" "shelter-in-place" directives, people will learn how to cook again. Maybe that is an idea for a cookbook... "When you can't go out... here's what you cook."

A good laser printer costs less than 500 bux. The ink you buy as needed.

A PRINT ON DEMAND cookbook, with customization features may be just what the doctor ordered.

I have recently ordered a couple of "books" (booklets), and I'm looking forward to getting them in the mail. Will wear gloves to take out of envelope, but, then some new ideas.

We've talked about a PRINT ON DEMAND business before, but NOW might be a good time to revisit the idea.

It might be a good way to turn a few bux into 5 X that. Of course, a good ad online, with the right traffic, will help. But it might be the right time.

I like it because, as a digital printer, I say maybe about 33% of my work has been pirated, maybe more on some items. A lot of theft and disrespect online, but a real, in the hands booklet, it isn't a problem.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I have a couple of IDLE printers if someone wants to do a JV. I like little saddle stitched (stapled) books of 5 x 7 ...but even 8.5 x 11 is still pretty cheap to make and mail.
