I just got an email from Borders, inviting me to take advantage of their holiday discounts on cookbooks. Anyone who knows me would see this as irrefutable proof that targeted marketing has not yet been perfected.
I took one look at the words in their headline — Cook, Share, & Be Merry — and started laughing. While I wasn’t inspired to buy any cookbooks, I did find myself singing this Sesame Street song:
Two of these words belong together
Two of these words are kind of the same
Can you guess which one of these words doesn’t belong here?
Now it’s time to play our game, time to play our game!
Cook? Who, me?
Haha! I got that same e-mail…I think I own one cookbook, but I never bought it from Border’s. They’re always sending me wacky book list recommendations. Hehe.
You, too? Wacky is right! THey couldn’t be more off the mark, could they? 🙂
Oh no…They are really bad. They must get money for each person they bombard with this stuff. I think I even got a book list of sci-fi/anime. Yikes!

You made me LOL. Alas, I LOVE to cook. I have a ton of cookbooks, old and new–but I’m still living on crackers and toast because of this stomach flu–bah humbug!!!!!
What’s the latest with your submissions??? Dying to hear.
Alas? I hardly think so. You live closeby, so if you want to Cook, I’m certainly willing to Share and Be Merry.
I wish I knew what was going on with my submissions. Thing is, I NEVER open a package before my birthday or Christmas, and I NEVER (well, hardly ever) give away a secret. But this not-knowing is gonna kill me before the New Year, I swear.

cooking isn’t your thing?. i like cooking but sometimes just don’t want to do it and end up feeding my family. speaking of which i need to start cooking now cuz i have to go to work tonight.
Nope, it’s really not. It’s messy, complicated, and boring.
Of course, you may get a different (oven) temperature reading on the topic. 🙂
You’re why they created take out.
