Weekend Book Giveaway: 'The Amateur Gourmet'
I was 13 or 14 and home alone when I decided to make taffy from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. I put the corn syrup in a sauce pan, turned the heat on high, and walked away. I cleaned my bedroom for like the next half hour and completely forgot about the pot on the stove. When I finally went back into the kitchen, the entire room was filled with black smoke and the corn syrup was black and burnt to the pan. Middle of winter (in Wisconsin) with the windows open trying to air out the house before my parents came home. Bad bad bad night.

Extremely disappointing. I drove clear across town, about 1/2 hour to check out the Trader Joe's in Milwaukee. Such hype - I had to go. It was such a tiny store with poor layout and bad selection. I didn't buy anything, I went to the new Whole Foods instead (which opened at almost the same time as Trader Joe's). I don't see what the big deal is.
