Sweet Tooth

[1]
Assembling his fantasy meal from the best eateries in New York City, Frank Bruni, who was the chief restaurant critic at the Times, included Nutter Butters [2] from Bouchon Bakery for dessert. I’ve made this recipe before (and I plan to again this weekend). These cookies are amazing, and worth the effort.

Speaking of amazing – Lizz Winstead selected 2 winners for our recent contest to receive copies of her new book, Lizz Free Or Die [3]. See entries:

from Kate:

I surprised my family at age 3 by reading the mayonnaise label out loud while we were making lunch.
 Then I surprised my family again when I went for a master’s degree at 30 and a few years later tried out for (and got on) a very well-known and difficult game show.

from Stacey:

I forgave a parent that had been very hurtful to me as a child. Everyone in my circle of family and friends never thought I would ever be capable of such a thing (I can hold a grudge like a pit bull), and most did not believe that the parent deserved the forgiveness. They don’t all realize that forgiving isn’t the same as saying that bad behavior is OK – it’s saying that the bad behavior no longer holds me hostage.
