I remember in the old days of working in offices, some of the women and maybe a couple of men would put together favorite recipes to share, photocopy, bind and give to each other. Some fundraisers even revolved around collecting recipes and selling it in a cookbook format. Well just found out about a new venture in beta that allows you to cull recipes from various cooking sites and get it printed and bound. It looks like this would also make a great bridal shower gift or high school/college graduation gift.

In 1988, the surgeon general, C. Everett Koop, proclaimed ice cream to a be public-health menace right up there with cigarettes. Alluding to his office’s famous 1964 report on the perils of smoking, Dr. Koop announced that the American diet was a problem of “comparable” magnitude, chiefly because of the high-fat foods that were causing coronary heart disease and other deadly ailments.
