whew. kind of a busy day. plus, we are having some more "storm activity" - should make our local keloland weather team pretty happy.
but i am really starting to get tired of this cra...er, stuff.
so, i just took a quick break and looked at a sample mag that i got in the mail. why did they send me this? what did i buy that made them think i cook? who are "they"?
i have to tell you, it's a beautiful magazine. kind of like an art magazine for food. i think i might want to subscribe to it, just for the pictures!

My dad (who is the Martha Stewart of baking) told me that is a good one. See if they do some kind of a buy-one-get-one gift subscription. I'll split it with you.
oh, cool, a martha DAD is definitely a good thing ;)
no buy one get one, but i am praying about the buy one...
Definitely a good thing. All my cool kitchen gadgets are gifts from him. It's like having my own 1-800 line for baking questions.
Are there recipes that you would actually MAKE in it? Do the recipes use ingredients that you already own? That is always a good test...don't just fall for the eye-candy.
okay, here is the thing. the cover is gorgeous, like an art print. back cover too. the inside is ALL BLACK AND WHITE, with diagrams for everything, like a science text book.
here are the articles at a glance:
• solving the problem of baked chicken breasts
• how to pan-sear shrimp
• provencal pizza
• american potato salad
• juicy weeknight pork chops
• a guide to buying fresh pork
• the best classic brownies
• improving peach cobbler
• tasting dijon mustard
Karen, it's like a TEXT book. every article mentioned above is at LEAST a 2 page spread, like a chapter in a book, that totally explains the subject matter. so NOT like a magazine!!!
i am falling in love with this!
ps. you would save these.
these are the kinds of things somebody will find in my attic, neatly bound and kept, when i am dead at age 93.
they are that good!
Sounds like you're sold on it! How much is the subscription? Mmmmmm. Baking. I'm headed to the store for biscotti supplies. Will be 20 lbs. heavier when hubby returns.
