I have the bestest hubby in the world

Geo just got home from work. He said I'd be glad he was late and told me to close my eyes and hold out my hands. Then he gave me . . .

The Northern Exposure Cookbook!

I've been checking the Internet used book sites like Abebooks and Alibris and Amazon, and I haven't been able to find one for less than $25. Geo suggested that I check our local used book store, Book Haven, which I'd intended to do today, but due to getting sidetracked was going to put off until tomorrow after work.

But he stopped at Book Haven on his way home tonight. The woman recognizes him on sight, and asked if he was looking for anything in particular. He told her what he was looking for, and she said yes, she thought she had it. And lo, there it was with the cookbooks (I'd have checked the entertainment books first, since it was a merchandising tie-in). It's in excellent condition, too. And was much less expensive than the internet sites. And izhilzha? It's got Joel's Jell-O recipe. Bwah!

I'm just so thoroughly tickled, I squealed.

My DH really is the best. Particularly after the . . . erm . . . tiff we had yesterday (which involved me getting upset over something that ultimately wasn't worth the energy and showed a lack of self-confidence on my part. But we won't get into that).

So YAY!!!

The complete title is: The Northern Exposure Cookbook: A Community Cookbook from the Heart of the Alaskan Riviera. I think it will be a highly amusing read, and given the cooking phase I'm going through right now (so long as it doesn't involve the oven, what with the heat and humidity we've had), this could be interesting.

Scene 2 complete

So, yippee skippy. I just got done converting the second scene of my story from prose to script. This will be a fairly tedious process, but, I hope, ultimately worth it. And right now it just seems like I need to methodically pound it out. Then I'll go back and get creative. :-)
