Cooking
Matthew and Jennifer Carden are smart, fun and just amazingly talented. I've gotten to know both of them through the San Francisco Professional Food Society.
Jennifer is a cook and wrote the book The Toddler Cafe which has inventive recipes that even toddler-less me wants to make!

Just to remind me of the way the world works: Wednesday morning, the trash gets picked up. Wednesday afternoon, I get three packages...and lots of packing material! Oh, well... One of my packages was a batch of books that I now must find time to read....
