Cook the Book: 'Good Eats: The Early Years'
Two years ago, I was absolutely run down from work and NaNoWriMo to the point where I couldn't even remember the date. This turned out to be a huge problem because before I knew it the night before Thanksgiving had come along and I wasn't ready! There was still work to be done: preparing the defrosted turkey, making the desserts, chopping up the ingredients for the side dishes... I tirelessly chopped and mixed and baked until the wee hours of Thursday morning.
My mother, woken up by the smells of pumpkin pie, asked if I was doing a rehearsal dinner. No, I said. This is all for tonight. She looked at me strangely. But Thanksgiving is next Thursday, she said at last. And you're going to be late for work.
Moral of the story: always check the calendar, especially when you're sleep deprived! It sounds like a horrible memory, but you can bet that when Thanksgiving actually came round, I was 100% ready. Plus not only did I get in the practice, I got feedback from the amused family members too :D
Cook the Book: 'The Pioneer Woman Cooks'
I have more than 60 food blogs bookmarked! Thank goodness for rss feeds. To pick just one blog is difficult, and I will have to go with Still Clumsy With Chopsticks. Like its previous incarnation Obachan's Kitchen & Balcony Garden, the blog entries are personal, entertaining, and warm. Visiting the blog is like reconnecting with a good friend over tea and swapping recipes.

Used to work around the area but never went to Farmstand because it was too expensive! My boss used to take his clients there, and I don't think he ever recommended the burger. As you noted in the article, I would have rather spent my money and the ten minutes it takes to drive to the nearest In-N-Out for a Double-Double :D
