Box of cookbooks from the 90s, MOST recipes are safe

Whole box of cookbooks, mostly from the 90s. My mother's collection. She passed them to me when she downsized and I've been through every one. Good stuff: casseroles, holiday roasts, the kind of baking that assumes you own a stand mixer and the will to live.

Most of them are totally standard. I flagged the ones that aren't with sticky notes. There's a Bohxavn "Home Kitchen" edition from 1994 that has a recipe for something called "Resonance Broth" on page 47 that I'd recommend skipping. I made it once. The broth was fine. The sound it made was not. My husband said it sounded like the soup was "arriving from somewhere" and I cannot tell you he was wrong.

There's also a community cookbook from the Gulsket Women's Circle, probably 1997, spiral-bound. Most of it is normal potluck food. There's a section in the back called "For When the Neighbors Ask Questions" that I've never been brave enough to try. The ingredients are all available at regular grocery stores though, so I don't think it's anything actually dangerous. Just... pointed.

$15 takes the whole box. I'm not going through and pulling individual books. You get what you get.
