Recipe Book

Oh boy, I'm so excited..... The very first thing I did on a computer, back in about 95 or 96 was write a cookbook.... it was for people that lived on low food budgets..... just a few minutes ago, a facebook friend, sent me an email, of that cookbook, she has scanned and made the words back into an editable "Word" format, so I can change some recipes, add new ones, and get it all printed again. Or maybe sell online as a PDF.

This is one recipe, its just a fun one, that I thought some of my friends may get a smile from. Dona, would this be like the recipe you use for your cakes

Gosh, I need proper glasses....
I just took a break from the computer for a couple of hours, and did so crocheting, it was fun to do it again, I haven't picked up a hook for 20 or 30 years... however, I avoid looking at anything close up, I have some cheap glasses from the $2 shop, the strongest ones they make, and generally just use them to read labels on products, or the odd bill that comes in the post.
I had to use glasses to see what I'm doing especially for a start with crocheting.... I have 4 sets of glasses, 3 have one arm missing, and 2 have a lens missing, none have everything they need.... About 20 minutes ago, I looked back at computer, my monitor is about a meter from my eyes, and I can barely see the words. Usually my eyes are ok, after the first hour or so when I wake up. OK, I have the text at 250% but I can read it generally.
But still now, I have area's on my screen that are so blurry, I have to move my head, so I can see the area with a different part of my eyes.....
I have always avoided getting glasses, my close vision has been bad for 7 or 8 years, heck I can't care for the $2 pairs, and just know I would lose, sit on or stand on a pair that costs $100 just as easily.

On the other hand, I can and do do without a lot of things in my life. My eyesight however, is not something I don't care to find out if i can live without.
I guess it will mean a trip to Tauranga to get my eyes tested. yuk.... but like it or lump it. I gotta do what I gotta do huh....
