I went out to check the mail this afternoon and found a box waiting there for me from Amazon. I tried to remembered if I'd preordered anything and couldn't think of anything it might be. I quickly scurried back into my apartment and opened it up. It was a book! Big thanks to Pasiphae for Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly. I've got to pull it off my wish list now. Yay, my birthday's starting a whole week early! ^_^.
