No, but it's a big fear for me.
My paternal grandmother's 1800 something (late in the century; probably the 1890s) cookbook and housekeeping book. Contains remedies for a number of ailments that you would NEVER want tried on yourself. How to organize a sickroom. Making soap. Cleaning everything from clothing to the floor. It's in bad shape, so it's put away but it's a blast to look through. It almost always makes me say "Jebus Christ, they did WHAT to the sick person?!?!"
Definitely do not burgle any of mu neighbors! My neighbor might want burglars to take my cat though: he greets me in the morning with a whole aria for meows and yowls until he is finally fed.
No, too paranoid about getting lost. Did get to pull the stop cord on a train once for an elderly lady trying to get to Pittsburgh who accidentally got on the train from Harrisburg to Philadelphia. (Opposite direction). The conductor was nice once he understood why she was panicking and had the train back up all five miles to the station. Don't know if she ever got where she was going: I think she really shouldn't have been traveling alone.
I only have a few cookbooks left, but I have photocopies of a few of my grandmother's handwritten recipes: e.g. "2 handfuls of flour, cut in about an egg of butter, add one pinch salt, and enough sugar. Roll to two sheets of paper thickness. Cut out. Bake normal heat until just done." Makes the world's best sandtarts, but you need to start with the right size hands.
1. Nothing. I have never been in their home. 2. Nope 3. I have a depression era cookbook, and one that my grandmother gave me of winning recipes from fairs circa 1920 or so... and I think I still have one from around 1900 somewhere but not sure where it went now.

It's an old Betty Crocker one.
