So my friend over at Dry Spell got me thinking about cookbooks this morning. She was talking about getting a cookbook from her husband as a gift. It got my mind wandering to my favorite cookbooks in my collection.
We had maybe 2 cookbooks when Mr. and I moved in together. Then we expanded when he bought me the Star Wars cookbooks and Paula Deen's Celebrations.
Then we got married. And then the cookbooks just started coming. From the Joy of Cooking to Betty Crocker.... from Cupcakes to Indian to Irish to Italian...we have it all!
You would think having a ton of cookbooks would stop me from wanting more. Not so. If we went somewhere, like Italy for example, we would bring home a cookbook or two from the region. When we went to DC, I picked up the White House Cookbook and Presidential Cookies. I love seeing recipes for what people in other cultures or in other parts of the country eat. It intrigues me, but also introduces me to ways of cooking that may get more veggies into my loving husband.
I am working on a regional/international cookbook collection now. If any readers have suggestions, please leave them in the comments! I would really appreciate it

Vote for ME!
So I know that this adds a whole slew of stuff to my plate for the next year, but it is something I had never thought I had the guts to do... Run for a spot on a judging panel. I didn't realize what just running would do for my self esteem. It all started with encouragement from a good friend. (Here's lookin' at you Wabbit)
The ENnies is essentially the Game (RPG) industry's Oscars, with a little bit o' People's Choice thrown in for good measure. The products are submitted to a team of Judges who read, review, discuss and then make a list of the best submitted in categories, and that becomes the Nominees. Then the polls open to the fans and they vote for a favorite products of the year.
I am running based on my love and passion for the hobby, I want to give back to the awards ceremony that gave my husband and I so many hours of unique and fun gaming. (Lookin' at you HEX and Dread!)
So how can you vote for me? Simple really. You can vote for me by going here: http://www.ennie-awards.com/voting/judgesballot.asp and vote for Tracey Michienzi!
I also stand behind voting for Kennon Bauman, Jeramy Ware and C.W. Richardson too... and since you can vote up to 10 judges, I would appreciate it if you voted for them as well.
You can vote once. It looks at your IP address. Thanks for your support in advance!
