Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
In French 101 in college, we all had to do individual spoken exams at the end of the term. The idea was to demonstrate that we could converse simply in the language.We had been learning kitchen and food terms, and my professor asked me (in French) to describe my mealtimes.
"Mes amis et moi," I began, "Nous nous asseyons sur la table."
My professor looked confused. "Ellen, sur la table? Vous vous asseyez sur la table?"
I nodded happily. "Oui."
I'd told him that my friends and I sat atop the table at mealtimes.
Luckily, you don't have to speak a Français to appreciate Sur la Table's new cookbook, "Things Cooks Love". It's the company's first of several - "The Art & Soul of Baking" and "A Cook's Guide to Knives" will be available this fall).
The book covers kitchen tools and basics, as well as simple recipes to practice on tools and cookware. (What's a cookbook from a gourmet cookware store without a little self-promotion?)
(Pssst - the book is only $25 at the company's website until May 31, when it'll be $35. Get it while it's chaud.)

Because at the store, if you've not interested in one of the knives on the magnetic bars, all they'll let you do is hold the box. Yes.... .....so helpful. @@
