To commemorate the 25th Year Anniversary of Air Force 1... my first shoe purchase for 2007.
It was a Power Books Saturday night for the wifey and me, and I must say we had a pretty good loot from this trip, with a little something for everyone...
1) Everyday Italian, by Giada De Laurentiis. Yes, Nigella Lawson is a bigger (figuratively and literally) domestic goddess, but I actually like Giada a lot more. She's got that Natalie Portman-esque beauty that leaves me breathless and her cooking I think is much simpler and a lot more fun. What the wifey likes about Giada is that she leaves you with a feeling that "Hey, I can do that too." And whatever she cooks is much more practical and interesting than anything Rachel Ray cooks up in 30 very rushed minutes. Definitely cook-able recipes, with lots of beautiful pictures of both the food and the chef. Can't wait to try out the Italian Egg Sandwich.
2) The Little Gulay Book, by Gene Gonzales. Because I always insist on having gulay, and it's time we expand our repertoire of vegetable dishes. This also gives me further ideas on Making Nutrition Joyful.
3) Dora and Barney books from the bargain bin. Each for less than 100 pesos ($2.00). To add to SamSara's expanding library. I love how Sam's face lit up when she saw these in the morning.
4) SLAM Magazine. I actually should just save the 450 bucks ($ 9.00 !!!) I spend on this magazine every month, but I could never resist buying it whenever I see the latest issue. This magazine's still got the best "Basketball is Life, Life is Basketball" feel that I'm always a sucker for. And behind those hip-hop, trash talking columns are some of the best sports writing I've ever encounterd. Ironic that this month's cover story is about Melo finally getting his props. But at press time, he's currently serving a 15-game suspension and when he comes back, he may not even be The Man anymore at Denver. Worse than the 15-game suspension is his image, which took awhile to finally elevate, getting tarnished by the vision of him sneaking in a stupid sucker punch, and backpedalling to safety like a coward... Big crying shame.
