Default Does anyone own "The MIdnight Cookbook"?

Been looking for this for years. Published by Playboy years ago. Supposed to be tasty things a guy can whip up to impress a woman. Friend has one but won't part with it. I'm amenable to paying a decent price for it.

Probably the kind of woman who normally
eats at McDonald's.

More likely one who doesn't cook and those are quite common
nowadays.

It's amazing to me that a skill that should be one of the essential
basics of life is so neglected by most people. The majority of men and
women I know can't cook in any real sense beyond heat-n-serve type crud
from the processed food aisles.

Yep. Most people can't be bothered to do it. And they eat so much of that
crap that when they do eat the real thing, it doesn't taste right to them.

You need to look elsewhere to meet folks besides TIAD fast food
joints... and I'm absolutely positive you can't cook either.
