cook books.

are an obsession of mine. i love them. i collect them. i use them like crazy and then stop and they get pushed aside to the cook book graveyard.
got two new ones for christmas!

the first one i can see using over and over again since i'm a huge fan of her recipes. yes, i am now the proud owner of pw's cook book!

love her stories. love the pictures. love her food.

pw mentions pam anderson a lot on her site. no, not that pam anderson...
so i found one of her books and put it on my list. totally forgot i did and was way surprised when i opened it christmas eve.

finally had a chance to thumb through it this afternoon. i am sooo excited for this one! barely made it through the first two chapters without drooling. super easy and mostly with ingredients i have on hand.
seriously, i think that's the worst part about recipes... wanting to make one and then finding you are missing a few ingredients. this way, i can learn and use what i have. i'm really hoping this helps cut down on the amount of food nick and i waste.

fingers crossed these two don't make it into the graveyard anytime soon! ;o)
