Thirty bucks for a 1950s cookbook at a library sale
Bought it on a whim. Turned out to have handwritten notes from the original owner in the margins. Best recipes for simple stew I ever made.

Did the notes include any kitchen disasters worth knowing about?

Recall one note about someone trying to substitute mayo for butter in a cake recipe. It just goes to show how people treat recipes like suggestions and end up with a mess, not a meal. That kind of overconfidence in the kitchen is a lot like how we all try to shortcut real life and wonder why it falls apart.
