I have several dozen cookbooks.  Lots of old ones and a bunch translated 
into English that are from other countries.

I like to gander through them to get ideas and then use DH and kidlets as 
testers.  I had a bunch of little dabs of stuff laying around and wanted to 
use up all the leftovers, so I looked through some Chinese cookbooks and was 
thinking about making some potstickers but it was too hot to bother making 
the dough, so I turned the pot sticker "stuffing" into little meatballs, 
whipped up some sweet and sour and poured the whole mess over rice.  Tossed 
all the leftover veggies in the wok with some soy sauce, seseme seed oil, 
cilantro and garlic  and voila, a clean fridge and a well-rounded meal.
