In spite of the fact that hundreds of thousands of recipes are freely available online (something that didn’t apply in 1993), apparently a lot of people do. I searched, but was unable to find a total number. What I did find was figures for a single book that was published in April 2020. By the middle of the year (just 2 months later, when the article was posted), it had sold half a million copies. Extrapolating from that, I figure that cookbooks sell for about the same amount as romance novels, or even more, and that doesn’t take into account how many people read recipes online.

I guess Lu doesn’t know about your stash of magazines under your mattress, Brad.

Well guess what, Lu?
One day, You are gonna be a bridesmaid at your brother’s wedding.
So maybe he does know a bit more about “romance” than you do.
Okay, Okay!
Brad was just darned “lucky.”
