Definitely stay out of the cold, Hil.
Tara: That was funny if you've studied Taglarin mystic rites and... are a total dork... Riley: Then how come Xander didn't laugh?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Coughing is definitely ill. Do you want pneumonia? If the answer is no, don't go.

If this were B'racy, we would have opened a discussion thread on this by now.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
OK, OK, I won't go.

Snerk! Never change, my friends, never change...
My mom and sisters get my magazine subscriptions as part of bday/Xmas presents. Mom got me a two-fer deal a year ago, and added a script for Better Homes & Gardens, and I thought :Old lady mag, what a waste of paper, UGH."
Well. I am an old lady, apparently, because I LOVE BH&G now. I really, really like it; the format is so much more modern than what I remember, and they have a great website.
She got a two-fer for Woman's Day, too, for me, and that IS kind of a waste of paper. It isn't my cup of tea.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I think that sounds like a great gift. Cooking mags are the useful kind of thing that I wouldn't buy for myself. My parents did the same for me with a sub to Consumer Reports.

Sox, hope my dad's answer helped some. Feel free to ask him more, he likes these sort of thought exercises. And since he's retired....
I have a BH&G cookbook. Mainly use it as a reference for baking. I'm pretty incapable of not tweaking a recipe, and pretty much only use it as a jumping off point for temps, times and proportions. But then, I don't really bake or cook much.

I always covet my mom's Everyday Food -- it's got great ideas for fast/easy stuff.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
I've got a more recent (by recent I mean late '70s) Fannie Farmer that I got when I was married. My mom gave my ex the Joy of Cooking and I actually like that one better, but since it was a present to him I didn't take it when I left. I should pick one up, because I've always felt it did a better job at explaining the mechanics of how to do certain techniques and for beginning cooks or when it's a new skill it comes in very handy. One of the reasons I like CI, too, but all I've got from them are a couple of paperbacks for crockpots and comfort food.

Which is why I eat salad 90% of the time. Mmm, fresh spinach. But then, no one could accuse me of requiring a lot of variety in my diet.
Another good swim tonight.
