Now this is what I call a book: 71 pages of cupcake.

...Snacks and Cereal...
I just received a memo from my senior attaché in Philadelphia about the latest grab-bags back home, which got me thinking about the days when Michael Jordan was on the Wheaties box and how I didn't know who was on it this year. So I checked out the Wheaties site. They brought back Dr. J after 25 years and gave Steve Nash his first appearance. Dr. J, ofcourse. As for Steve Nash? Well, personally, I would have given it to AI.
¡¡¡ Hot Dog !!!
Mont-Royal Hot Dog fries all of their fryables in peanut oil.
Now, you ask, "Does this heighten the scrumptiouness of their poutine?"
Well, I'd have to say, "Yes."
Their terrace also adds to the dining experience.
Sous le soleil exactement avec une poutine: as wonderful a remedy for a cobwebbed mind as it is a way to spend the afternoon with your main squeeze.

...The Fannie Farmer...
I have a bunch of cookbooks and books (related to food) that I'd like to share with you. We'll start off with the "The Fannie Farmer" because it's one of my favorites.
The Fannie Farmer Cookbook (1990 edition)
revised and updated by Marion Cunningham
**Published originally in 1896 under the title "The Boston Cooking School Cook Book" by Fannie Merrit Farmer**
It's just what the cover says it is: "The All-American Cookbook Classic", and I crack it open whenever I'm in need of consulation. Usually when I'm unsure at what temperature/time to cook a certain cut of meat or want to make some kind of flapjack.
It has basic recipes that will always come in handy (e.g. pancakes, soup stock, béchamel sauce...) and many more original ones from different regions in the United States. It's full of interesting stories and tid-bits about the recipes themselves, and reads something like a history lesson.
When it's not on my kitchen-shelf...it's cause it's in my handgbag and I'm about to read it on the métro. I love it and give it many stars.
** The 1972 edition of "Joy of Cooking" by Irma S. Rombauer and Marion Rombauer Becker is also an excellent all-purpose compendium. I also give it many stars.
