So I'm walking past a yard sale, looking nonchalantly... when I spy a copy of Martha Stewart Entertaining. How much, I ask. $1.

Of course I'm all over that. Then, walking home, I pass the yard sale again- they are cleaning up and they point to a blanket and say I can take anything on it, for free.

Y'all know what was on that blanket? A crate full of the entire Time Life Foods Of The World series. Provincial French Cooking by MFK Fisher. T, you have to see the Pierre Franey/Craig Claiborne Classic French cooking- more aspic than you could possibly imagine. I tried to give him $20, but he wouldn't take it. For free, y'all.
