The other day I was pleasantly surprised when a friend of mine gave me The Pioneer Woman Cooks,cookbook. I have been following the Pioneer Woman blog for over two years. I love her quirky posts about her life on a ranch in Oklahoma. Since I read her everyday, I feel like I know her. She has invited her readers into her family and home. I feel like I have helped her make design decisions on the lodge that she recently renovated, helped her brother, Mike, stay on the wagon, and shared her great anxiety as she appeared on the Bonnie Hunt show. Now, I am pretty sure she has no idea who Judy @ In His Grip is, but I know that if I saw her in person I might just embarrass myself by running up to her and huggng like she was one of my Panera tribe gals. Okay, that is weird. This is the best step-by-step cookbook I have ever seen. To be honest I don't like cookbooks that do not have a picture of every recipe. I want to see what I am making. Not only does she have pictures of the finished product, she has pictures of how things look as you follow the recipe. You have gotta love that!
I, too, was gifted with this book. I have been carrying it around like a child with a blankie and reading it every spare moment I get. It is wonderful!!!! I'm even planning on busting out the cinnamon rolls for the extended fam on Thanksgiving! (I was going to blog about the book, but you beat me to it!) :-)2fmryw

Rumor has it you have to have tickets for the signing in OLP and it is sold out. Which is bad news for me because I didn't think that far ahead and now I don't have a ticket. Oh well I'm good with the book. FYI.

See you at the signing. I saw Toni Putizer and John Karr the other day. Their daughter is playing BB for K-State and I have season tickets. She is really doing very well. She has started several games and I am sure she will do a great job! Even if I dont see you have a great time at the PW signing, I will. I am going to the evening program ~ Almost forgot found some fabric for my couch I think it will be fake distressed leather look alike from Lazy Boy unless it is just way out of my price range. The local decorator shop cannot get it with enought the fabri with enought rubs in the look I like. Ann
