SO GOOD. I first got this book from the library but then decided to buy it because
every single page has at least 3 awesome ideas for using the odds and ends

because I like the way they sound. I even read it out loud to myself sometimes.

I love Nigel Slater. He has been called a "British national treasure", a sentiment
I wholeheartedly agree with. One of my favorite British food writers.

heh

Marlee found this sign while hiking in India, it's awesome.

Shadows = romance.
