Another cookbook find at a different HPB: Rose Levy Beranbaum's The Pie and Pastry Bible. I've also got The Cake Bible, and of course, The Bread Bible, from which I made my first successful free-standing sourdough loaf. I'm going to the Bellevue HPB after work today to see if I can score anything else.
I've never noticed before that Obama is left handed. Wooooot! Go lefties! :P
For Chinese New Year this year our GM got us each a Starbucks Asia "bearista" that's wearing an ox (because it's the year of the ox) costume. It is SO CUTE. I haven't gotten mine yet because when he was giving it out in person I wasn't in my office and apparently he wants to deliver it personally. I'm tempted just to go to his office and be like, "Um, can I have my ox?" I've seen other people's, though. I will take pictures of it and share when I've got it in hand. :D
Quick roundup of news: The set for Dollhouse sounds awesome. It feels like I've been waiting 714237483 years for that show to start. Evidently there was a 4.6 earthquake in the greater Seattle area early this morning that I didn't feel at all. I don't usually sleep through quakes. Even when I lived in LA I'd at least wake up before turning and going back to sleep. O.o at this Facebook scam ... I hope none of my Facebook friends are naive enough to actually fall for something like that. Quite sobering that the security there is so poor. WTF Seattle was ranked no. 3 on a national poll of cities in which people would like to live. There are some positive things about this city, I'll agree, but the 9 months of gloom pretty much neutralizes most of them, imho. Apparently Coke thinks "New Coke" is sufficiently far enough from people's minds that they're going to stop calling it Classic Coke.
