I can't restrain myself with just 10 books. I am lucky to keep it
down towards 100 books with which I travel. One time I was on
assignment, I counted 250 cookbooks that I brought with me.

Not sure what will happen this time. If I get to go to San Diego, I
will be in the enviable position of having several rfc'ers in the
area...and the possibility of cooking with them quite a bit. So I am
thinking that I might run upwards on the cookbooks and equipment I
bring with me. There are several books I haven't used yet, that are
begging for me to delve into them, so I might take those.

I am thinking of putting all the paperback cookbooks in one box and
shipping that to myself there. I know, a devious way to get around
not having enough room in the van...LOL. Same with some equipment,
etc, that isn't breakable, and won't cost a fortune to ship.

For those of you in San Diego...if I get to come there (should know
this week) do you have any requests of cookbooks for me to bring? In
anticipation of cooking together, that is. I know that I am going to
bring the Michel Richard book, Happy in the Kitchen: that was the book
that the Faux Gras came from.... There are quite a few recipes in
that book that are calling out to me....
