Announcing my new “Book Journal.” It’s named: “Alice B. Toklas” and it is my reading list for 2012, which contains braggin’ rights to books I’ve actually had the stick-with-it brass and balls to actually hang in and FINISH! There may be spontaneous outbursts about books I love or hate. (Although unless it’s “Mein Kampf” I’m not going to speak ill about any book.) More to follow. I know you’re waiting on pins and needles and can hardly wait, but I’m not quite there yet, so you’ll just have to deal. Actually, I need to finish a couple books first!

Yay – this is awesome. You did it! You created Alice B Toklas. I wish I came up with a name for my book journal. But alas. I’m jealous.
Can’t wait to see your book progress, recommendations and warnings.

Haha! OMG! I thought of you as I was doing it, but never thought in a million years that you would actually see it. That’s so funny. Actually, I wanted to ask you- would you mind if I “profiled” your website at some point? I’d run the content by you first. But it IS one of my favorite sites. Your posts ALWAYS make me laugh and I actually do shit that you recommend – like buying “What the Fuck Am I Gonna Make for Dinner?” Since I am chief cook and bottle washer and complaint department and hit the panic button like 4 times a week on that!

Damn it- I wrote a response but lost it. I’ll try again…Haha! I thought of you as I created that category, but never thought you’d actually see it! Actually, I wanted to ask if you’d be OK with me “profiling” your site for the “Groovy Places I Like to Go” category. It’s absolutely one of my favorite sites- your posts are so funny and irreverent and always make me laugh – but they’re never without substance and I actually do shit that you recommend, like buying “What the Fuck Am I Gonna Make For Dinner”- because I LOVE the style of the book and the practical content – since I’m Chief Cook, Bottle Washer and Complaint Department and hit the panic button a few times a week on that – anyway- I’d run the content you before I posted anything. Think about it – talk amongst yourself – and let me know at some point! Thanks for commenting Jules!

Hey you – yes, of course, i’d be flattered if you profiled my site! I really appreciate it and am glad you enjoy my blog! That is awesome you bought that recipe book. I love it too – and get a kick out of it cursing at me as I cook.Thanks again, Michael…altho I’m sure I’ll see you around soon! 🙂

Yeah – that’s a really funny part of the book “Now Don’t fuck this up!” Haha!
