You can read about how it all began on the website and in other posts, but for now I want to tell you about TYCBD Field Trips!

That’s right–field trips to the bookstore–how cool is that? If

“Can you believe that woman? What a Karen. Talk about entitled. Well, for all they knew, Karen had a kid who’d raise holy hell if his mother ran out of raisins. None of these people clucking their tongues, feeling superior, had a clue.”

John...my goodness. I hardly know what to say. I have read your R&R posts (reviews and recipes, that is) for so many years. To be a John Bohnert Best Of is better than any Washington Post list or whatever is circulating at the moment.

Thank you.

Jenny
