Eaters and eating disorders

I applaud y'all for sharing your stories (and relate, as a former anorexic/bulimic), but beware: Those still in the midst of illness may read things like this to fuel their behaviors or learn tips.

Like reports about suicide, reports about anorexia and bulimia can lead to people experimenting with the behavior.

Cook the Book: 'Baking Unplugged'

I made almond cookies for my Dad for Father's Day and accidently left out half of the sugar. After everyone who's eaten them before bragged to him about the recipe, he had to stomach through a cookie and pretend to like it. I tried one right after him and was mortified. Poor guy.

Holiday Giveaway: Zingerman's Praise the Lard Gift Box

Around Labor Day, my grandfather used to buy 2 whole pigs and take them by our house in the back of his truck while my sister and I waited for the bus. All the neighborhood kids wondered what was up. "That's for the pig roast," we'd say. I was only about 7, but my mouth would water seeing those pigs.

I don't buy Jello pudding anymore because of him -- I know how to make cornstarch-thickened puddings just as quickly, and cheaper!
