NY Times Magazine
These pictures (click on the link to the slideshow) seem like adequate proof that models are too skinny these days. Yuck.
I was just noticing, as I looked up beets the other night (yes, I know how to cook beets, but it never hurts to check), how badly our current copy of The Joy of Cooking is falling apart. Like, the tape from its initial falling apart is falling apart. So I'm glad we'll have an excuse to get a new one. According to the article, the general consensus is that the 1997 is a failure, but we use it constantly. Of course we kept our old paperback copy of some previous version, which is now in perhaps three pieces, loosely bound together with, yes, more tape, but really, we hardly refer to it. We'll have to see if the 2006 similarly supplants its predecessor.

We have the 1997 too, and a 1973 paperback I use constantly because it retains the now tragically eliminated "Drinks" chapter, way more menus, and extensive game recipes including one for squirrel that recommends polenta as a side dish. (game recipes for entertainment purposes only)
