I got an email from John in Chicago today, raving about a cookbook he's been checking out:
I've been testing out a new baking cook book called "Baking, from my home to yours" by, Dorie Greenspan (she was Julia Childs asst on the show "baking w/ julia" which was a nuts on (te he) baking tv show, the best really!!! ) I've taken a novel approach to her recipes, I'm doing them exactly as stated , which is a real friggin trick for me.Every recipe I've tried has been a home run, which is a first for me (maybe its cuz I'm not screwin w/ em)!!! I know you're not big on cookbooks but this one rules the baking thing, and she really made
them simple for even novices

Good enough for me! I was a huge Julia Child fan, and I'm looking forward to checking it out. John noted that I'm not a big cookbook fan, which is partially true, but baking is science, and having good recipes to use as a starting point is just good sense.
I posted an Amazon link at the top of the post, if you're interested. If you buy it through that link, you'll enrich my family fortune by nearly a dollar. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
Ahem.
