Friday Reading & Eating
What we're reading and eating this week:

Reminder of the Week: For those of you who like to print recipes, at the bottom of every post, down on the left side, there is a little green button that says "Print Friendly." If you click that, it offers all sorts of options for file types and allows you to delete photos, paragraphs, or whatever before you print.
Question of the Week: What's the most WOW-ish cocktail party food idea you've seen/tried/experienced lately?
