Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Last spring, I took a trip out to my parents' house in Oregon with the primary intention of going through all my stuff from childhood and choosing what I wanted to keep for the future. I was something of a book collector in my youth (who am I kidding, I am still something of a book collector) and tucked away in the back of my parents' garage were more than 40 boxes of books. I did an admirable job winnowing down those books, distilling what I wanted to keep down to 8 boxes. Today's featured cookbook, The Cookie Book, is one of the books from my childhood that made the cut. It's a lightweight paperback designed primarily for kids. My mother picked up this copy at a thrift store for $.25 (the price is still written in pencil on the inside cover) when I was five or six and it played a role in many of my early baking experiences. It offers a cookie recipe for each month of the year and includes tips on what might be good holidays for cookies. The illustrations are cute and the narrative voice in each recipe is fun for kids. There are lots of cheap copies of this one out there on the interwebs, so if you're looking for an easy cookie cookbook written for kids, this is a good option.
