This is too funny! I never thought of doing Mad-Libs with my 5 year old, but I bet he would love it. Thanks for sharing!

Few things have been more satisfying to me than planning trips and having them turn out exactly as I'd hoped/planned, plus more. I have little patience with people who think they're cooler than me because they're "more spontaneous" about traveling; they hardly ever do stuff that's as cool as what I end up doing, she said modestly. I can't tell you how often I've been sharing stories with someone in a foreign country and they've said "wow, where did you hear about that?" Um, the Let's Go guide you spurned a moment ago?

Anyway, I do love the planning part. What IS the next trip?

Congrats on Spilled Milk. Great stuff. You're beating the Car Talk boys at their own game, and right out of the gate. The only problem is, I thought I could listen to your show while I was cooking, but I don't think I should be wielding 10 inches of Solingen steel when you two are cracking me up — could lose a finger real easy like!

Can't wait for #3.

Hey Matthew, I read your book last spring and loved it so much that I bought it for two friends who recently had babies and they loved it too! Anyway, I noted your comments on Nueske’s bacon in the book and tucked that note away for a time it would be convenient to have a taste for myself. Well, that time was last night…I happened to stumble on a package of Nueske’s at Uwajimaya this weekend and fried it up last night with some eggs & toast. I have to say, it isn’t as good as my standard bacon from Thundering Hooves and I thought you might want to put your Nueske’s up to the challenge. It’d be a great excuse for more fried eggs :)

And yes, everything is better with a fried egg on top! Except for things that are better with melted chocolate!

You're quite welcome!

(For helping you get to #2.)

And while I'm at it, thank you.

(For putting together 15-25 minutes of peaceful sanity to help us all through our chaotic days.)
