Book Binge!

The monsoon rains of fall truing into winter are here, and I just want to be at home baking. Though I need to mention I have to bake rugelach for 30 tonight. Good lord. I'm planning to modify the recipe to be a little more healthy than the original. I'll post with photos and the obvious stories that will ensue.  Because we all know I can't make my lunch without some form of disaster.

A friend's office is having a food drive for an area food bank.  It seems like DC has a hard time getting donated food. I'm guessing people eat out too much to keep canned goods around. I took the opportunity to finish ridding my pantry of all the canned goods that contain high fructose corn syrup.

And Top Chef All Stars is on tonight!

Anyway here's a list of books I've been reading that have to deal with food. Happy reading!
