A DALS Gold Member...

Follows the conversation on facebook with a likeminded community of dinner-makers.

Follows me on twitter so finds out in real time what recipes, restaurants, and online multiplication worksheet generators we are excited about.

Has pre-ordered Dinner: A Love Story, the book! (And will therefore, very soon, have access to recipes like my cure-any-cold chicken and orzo soup shown above.)

Has bookmarked our Recipe Index so it's easy to find the recipe you're looking for.

Has a quick weeknight taco recipe in his or her back pocket.

Is a newsletter subscriber, so is eligible for all kinds of fantastic giveaways including gift cards and fancy cookware.

Owns the official Dinner: A Love Story "Make Dinner Not War" bumper sticker. (Platinum members have actually placed this on the bumper of their cars and/or have sent me photos of where their stickers live.)

Periodically checks in on Fave Five, a list of book recommendations for kids that changes at least once a week.

Is a book-reading, dinner-making, comment-writing, thoughtful person who knows how much bigger dinner is than food.

OK, done with my Friday housekeeping. Have a great weekend.
