Therma-pen -- since I've bought mine, all other thermoemeters have been put
away.
Better get one before they hit the $100 mark. Everytime I see them, they go
up $5 -- not $2.50, but $5!

Cookbooks! I've bought so many in the last few months, I shall have to call
myself a collector. I've always bought a lot, but I've had the bug.

When you next travel, let us know what books you do take with you. I've oft
wondered if I had 10 books to take with me to a new abode what they would
be.


Maybe that's a good new topic. 10 cookbooks you wouldn't want to do
without. I'll start it.

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....

SO got me a Thermapen for Christmas. It works well so far.
