OT: Recipes

I'm moving into a nice spot with my girlfriend, who is a bit stymied by my
rather large collection of math and stat-oriented reference works, and
(sigh) weird stuff I got when I was a prof. In trying to organize all this
in our new digs, she suggested that "Lean Thinking" and "Numerical Recipes
in C" might be better placed in the kitchen (I kid you not, though I'm happy
to report she was kidding).

Kinda gets me wondering how regular folks view the titles we tend to hang on
to; somehow, Dave Luenberger's classic "Optimization by Vector Space
Methods" doesn't sound like a good source for pork-butt dry rubs, but who
knows?!?

Any other titles out there that have culinary overtones?

I think I got you beat: "A Practical Guide to Heavy Tails". Pity no one ever
wrote "How to Cook the Books with Excel".

Harlan,

I think that last set of skills..."How to cook the books..." is usually
acquired on the job.

IIRC, that was an internal Enron document...

Hi! Dave,
This is Janice Blanks from St.Louis, I participated in MYEP at
Washington University and you taught one of the classes. I was
wondering if we could connect and talk. Please let me know.
