Blog: Later On
Michael Ham has been shaving for more than half a century, but only belatedly discovered how to shave with pleasure. He began by posting what he had learned from his and others’ experience on his blog, Later On.
His cooking experience began 63 years ago, and he continues cooking because he enjoys both the process and the results. Recently, he collected the fruits of his experience and reading in a cooking compendium for novices.

Print: $12.95 The second edition of the beginner's guide to traditional wetshaving---brush, shaving cream, safety razor with double-edged blade. Traditional shaving is enjoyable and thrifty: double-edged blades are as low as 9¢ each vs. as much as $3.50 for a single disposable multiblade cartridge.
The multiblade cartridge's tug-and-cut action often results in skin irritation, razor bumps, ingrowns, and razor burn---thus all the "protective" shaving preparations and "soothing and healing" aftershaves now offered. Most men with skin problems decide that they have "sensitive skin" and never realize that the problem is the multiblade cartridge.
This new edition tells how to cure and prevent razor bumps and ingrowns.
The book is complete in itself, but it also includes links to a host of resources on the Web to complement the book. Sources are provided for all you need to get started.
See reader reviews below. For Table of Contents, see Preview.

Download: FREE An Excel workbook to help you create a budget that recognizes not only your explicit expenses (rent/mortgage, utilities, groceries, auto insurance and registration, and the like), but also implicit expenses: the money you implicitly spend by gradually wearing out things you must replace (car, tires, mattress, tv, furniture, and the like).
By structuring your budget so that these implicit expenses are also recognized and accounted for, you'll find that you control your paycheck instead of its controlling you.

Download: $2.00 Edition 1.07, January 2008: 106 pages, 43,000 words.
Leisureguy's Cooking Compendium is not a collection of recipes but rather a book about cooking: tools, ideas, techniques, foods, equipment, nutrition, and the like. In effect, it's "Cooking Deconstructed," with the building blocks of cooking treated separately---defined and discussed, so that the cook can recombine them to create new recipes and his or her own cooking style. Some recipes are included; they are not "amaze your friends" creations but tasty daily cooking. The book is aimed at the novice or experienced cook who wants to build his or her own kitchen repertoire.
To help you navigate the book, it includes hyperlinks from the Table of Contents to the appropriate page. It also includes external hyperlinks to more information on the Web and sources of equipment and foods.
The final section provides suggestions for further reading, including cookbooks, cooking magazines, and books about food.
