One for the BLog

THis note written on an assignment handed back to me today from a parent:

"I'm deaf so I'm having a hard time hearing him, so I just watch him and follow the dots"

Classic.

Bye Bye Betty Crocker

The America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook, Heavy-Duty Revised Edition
Growing up, the go-to standard cookbook was the good old Betty Crocker cookbook.  So when I began my obsession with cookbooks I naturally purchased it as the centerpiece of my collection.  It became my bible for everything from cakes to how to cook an egg.  I have always been a fan of America's Test Kitchen on PBS so about 6 months ago I purchased their Family Cookbook.  In the past 6 months we have made many recipies out of this cook book: chicken enchiladas, lasagne, soup, stew, corn bread, quiche, fried eggs, etc.  Each and every recipie was sheer perfection.  I am totally in love with this cookbook.  It's true that I'm a cooking geek, but if you are looking for THE cookbook either as a novice cook or more experience one like myself, this one is AMAZING!!
