New books for the library

Arturo and I traveled to the US border today to get some things, mostly books, my other weakness.

I got both these books that will surely be helpful for this blog and I'm hoping I can pass along some French wisdom from Julia Child herself and Mireille Guiliano.

I began reading "My life in France" on the road and I had to stop myself to get out of the car and into the house to put away our shopping spree. I'm very tired and the real workand contribution will begin tomorrow, I already have more than enough material to fill this blog for years and I keep buying new stuff!

Also, I couldn't help myself in getting this wonderful cupcakes book which led me to my "Wednesday Cupcakes" idea. On Wednesdays I'll be posting new cupcake merits here.

You can see the scale doesn' even mark  the zeroes, 

it goes straight to 400 grams!

Found a very cheap scale made in China which supposedly has a small dish in  which to place the food for measuringand only back here I noticed the box was opened and no dish!! Was a little mad, but it will still work for basic first intents. Will try to get a better one next chance I get... and check the box. Also, now have proper egg beater for pastry mixing. (am trying hard tocontain myself with the excitement and appear professional and serious).

Well, gotta go back to Julia's wonderful experiences in Paris... Adieu!
