Texas!

I recently took a trip to North Texas to visit my cousin Amie and her kids Bruce and Kate. It was a fun trip, relaxing and easy. Exactly how a trip to see family should be! But seriously, how can you not have fun hanging out with these adorable creatures? Bruce will be 5 in December and Kate turns 2 in January. My cousin is a GREAT Mom which is evident after spending just ten minutes in their house. I am happy to get the chance to spend some time with them.

Oh, and then there's Baumer...

Just a few of the new used books I picked up today in Denton, Texas. I could have bought twenty more if it were not for those utterly unfair airline weight restrictions.

Silver Spoon is a book I have been eyeing for a long time. Finally, it is mine. 2,000 recipes and buckets of info. This will be open on my kitchen table for quite a while.

Sacred Food is a gorgeous book presenting important food made for important times and spanning several cultures. A great find.

And seriously, I want to be Jay Rayner. Traveling the globe in search of Proper Dinner. Lovely.









Thank you, RECYCLED BOOKS! Honestly, one of the best used bookstores I have ever had the pleasure to explore.
