Fun book

I left this book in the bathroom for over a month becauase my husband had picked it up enjoyed it as much as his food geek wife. It has tons of little titdbits, interesting info. and food histories. It makes you the Cliff Claven (if you don't know who that is watch Cheers on re-run) of the food crowd.

GENIUS!!!!

So one day, it was like... two weeks ago I believe. I was really hungry and I was thinking "I could go for a donut right now" so guess what I did? I got a donut! I was eating and asked myself "why is there a hole in this darn thing?!" so I did some research and came across this! BUY THIS!!! You'll be amazed by why!! This is best number 1, yay!
