Oh yes, they had this book in braille when it came out, and one rremark I
remember is in the part about Lunch for the Girls.  She says something like,
"if they are your best friends you will want to be with them;  if they are
your next-to-best friends, you'd BETTER stay with them."  Or something
similar.  She makes remarks like that all through.  There is another book
she wrote called I hate to keep house book, or a similar title, which is all
about housekeeping.  It is funny as well.

Equivalents, Et Cetera
136

OR DREARY DETAILS THAT YOU CERTAINLY HAVE NO INTENTION OF REMEMBERING

And the introduction starts out with:
Some women, it is said, like to cook.

This book is not for them.

This book is for those of us who hate to, who have learned, through hard
experience,

that some activities become no less painful through repetition:
childbearing, paying

taxes, cooking. This book is for those of us who want to fold our big
dish­water

hands around a dry martini instead of a wet flounder, come the end of a long
day.

It's quite an enjoyable book, and even better, it has 180 easy recipes!
