I have the great joy of working in a bookstore!! Spent every year in school from 2nd grade until graduation being a Librarian's Assistant and it wasn't til I was in my 40s that I finally got a job doing what I LOVE!! Recently read Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" for the sole purpose of expanding my...

Wow, that crust is pure artistry!

I scored today on some cookware!! Last week, I went to some juntique shops south of me, more rural area...Man, were they proud of the cast iron...even the 'antique' Asian made stuff. I found great deals on a couple of pieces that cleaned up nicely. But every single one of those corn cob shaped...
