Some very stressful stuff is going on in my life and I've only been re-reading comforting classics (like The Secret Garden) to distract myself. I'll do better next month, I promise.

While I think I definitely am one, I've never particularly liked the word. I love to cook, and I love to eat at restaurants that offer delicious food. I also love travel writing that involves food (I've read at least one of M.F.K. Fisher's books). This sounds like a good read and even better that it contains humor too.
