I don’t really know if there is a support group for foodaholics, but I don’t think I’d join one even if such a thing existed. I’m a foodie, and I admit my addiction. If the first step in conquering your addiction is admitting you have a problem, I guess I’m not there yet.

On May 1st, the Antioch Branch had a program on Indian cooking. The food for the program (enough to serve dinner to least 50 people) was donated by Taj Mahal restaurant in Liberty, MO. We thank them very much for such a generous donation. The program turned out to be a big success and fun was had by all. Indian food has been gaining popularity in the West in the last decades.

Betty Crocker's Cookbook was the very first cookbook I owned. I've collected so many now that I barely have room for them. I don’t buy them anymore; I just check them out from the Library.
While checking out a list of the current bestselling cookbooks, I had to wonder how many of these books would still be selling a few years from now. Will people still be interested in The Paleo Diet Cookbook or The Wheat Belly Cookbook? And, just what IS the bestselling cookbook of all time?
I am a mother of four kids and have had several birthday parties as the years have gone past. I have a set of boy/girl twins, and this year we celebrated their 9th birthday!
