"Fondly, Charlie Trotter" or my husband went to a seminar and all I got. . .

was this super cool cookbook!

No, it wasn't even a cooking seminar.  It was a business seminar (he's a credit manager for a big Chicago based real estate company), but Charlie Trotter was there giving away and signing cookbooks.  How cool is that?

Update. . . I had a chance to look through this cook book last night and it is *excellent*! It has pictures of everything and explains how to cook and prepare pretty much any food. It's called The Cook's Book and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in cooking or becoming a better cook!
