Gasbag

Can I just be whiny for a minute? Just a minute and then I'll go back to being by stoic self.

I WANNA GO HOME!!! I'm tired of being smiley and supportive and patient and the perfect client and the perfect patient, I just want to be growly and pressure people and get back into my house now, okay?

Okay, I'm done. I mean, I'm not nearly done, but I'm done writing about it.

I went to the coolest book store the other day. I went to see the author of the book Make the Bread, Buy the Butter, Jennifer Reese, and the event was held in a one room specialty book store that sells nothing but cookbooks and books about food! Its in a former butcher shop, so its one of those cool, San Francisco buildings that used to be something else, and they sell not only the new, shiny cook books that you can find at any Barnes and Noble, but also antique cookbooks, and sometimes they're not even cookbooks; I found a recipe collection from the Seattle Women's group, with copied handwritten recipes that was dated 1935. So fun. I think I could spend hours in there. Its called Omnivore Books if you want to check it out.

The book I mentioned is also very good. Not just a cook book, but a collection of essays that are smart and funny.

So there you have it! Enjoy your weekend!
