wow, there is actually something exciting to talk about today.

People often buy cookbooks that sit on the shelf collecting dust. Example:

I bought this book today. It was 16something dollars at Half Price Books and I felt a little guilty, because my mother actually has an old edition of the same book. And actually, I don't even like following recipes all that much... typically I wing it, with semi-disastrous results. But, I decided, I am going to make every single recipe in this cookbook, cover to cover. That's right, every single recipe. And they might not all be delicious, and I might even dislike many of them, but I will make them and then I will eat them all.

*EDIT -- 10 mins later*
OMG. I have thought about this more extensively. 1400 "mouthwatering recipes"... how many years of a new recipe a day is that? Wow, like 3 years and 10 months. I don't know. I don't even eat very much. I think I am in over my head. This is a 10 year commitment!!! Hopefully I will be able to knock out several each weekend, or like 5 at a time by hosting lavish dinner parties. Also, lucky that my dad is able to afford all this food.
