I'm always happy to see the UPS man. I probably order an appalling amount of stuff online but it is both cost and time effective for me, something I can do one-handed on my iphone while Amaya sleeps. And frankly, in most cases I can get better prices online than I can in stores. When I can't then Alex shops for us. This week I was particularly happy to see the UPS man because some of our favorite cookbook authors have relatively new books out. (Hey I have a toddler, I can't keep up with all the new releases anymore.) David Lebovitz's new book Ready For Dessert was a no-brainer. We own all of his books and they are always great. He has a wonderful palate and his recipes are solid gold. The second book to arrive is Turquoise by Greg and Lucy Malouf, another automatic buy because they produce books that are beautiful and informative. They transport us to far off lands and always provide inspiration in and out of the kitchen. Now I just have to find the time and space to read them...
