Another one of those magazines that has me dog-earing almost every single recipe is "you know who's" Everyday Food. I love the PBS show by the same name...I always watch with pen and paper in hand. And the great thing about the recipes are that they are (or at least appear to be) very accessible...doable...for the everyday cook. Oh...Well...I suppose that is why it's called Everyday Food. Oh yeah. I'm quick. I've actually found myself doing that often. I'm sort of talking things out with myself as I'm writing and having revelations along the way. Welcome to my brain. Here's one more page to I can now unfold...
