Just checked my nite table out of curiosity. I also have a candle and 2 cookbooks. I need to clean this puppy off!!! Re the cookbooks, I read them like novels. Cover to cover. I am a lousy cook, but I have a collection of books that would knock your sox off! My DH and I were watching Jeopardy one time and I got EVERY question right in the cooking category. My DH said, "If you're so good at this, why don't I see your a** in the kitchen more often?" Told him I beentheredonethat in the first marriage.
