...much influence can cookbook authors really have over the way people eat in America? I've always thought if you could get people to cook, they would eat more sanely. That's kind of where it's at for me. To me it's incredible that something like instant oatmeal exists when normal oatmeal takes six minutes to cook. Starbucks is now selling what amounts to instant oatmeal for four bucks. People can make oatmeal for 20 cents. Just getting people to make themselves oatmeal in the morning - I think that's a pretty noble goal...
Every presidential election year Family Circle magazine runs a cookie recipe contest between the two possible First Ladies. The winner of the contest for the past four elections has gone on to be (or continued to be) the First Lady. This year, Cindy McCain's Oatmeal-Butterscotch cookies beat out Michelle Obama's shortbread cookies. A cookie contest for our First Lady? Archaic? Ridiculous?

You can also now buy caffeinated toiletries like Bath Buzz Caffeinated Lotion...

But the only dish I’d perfected in all my years of carrying around Bon Appétit issues like badges of my food expertise was a mean bowl of oatmeal with cinnamon, raisins, and banana. And even with my irrational love of porridge, I’m capable of recognizing that no sane person truly loves oatmeal. Hours spent poring over cookbooks in order to prepare dinner wasn’t what I had in mind when I pictured a talented chef. Anyone...
...from Coors Field, we went to Wynkoop Brewing Co., a microbrewery co-founded by the city's mayor, John Hickenlooper. It's a big, sprawling restaurant with a comedy theater in the basement, and brewer Thomas Larsen makes a beer subtly flavored with chili spices and a stout with oatmeal and other nonbarley grains. He generally uses British hops, which I found easier to take. Larsen says he's more interested in making "session beers"--you can drink several at a time--than in producing the extreme beers other Denver brewers are increasingly making. "It's an American thing.
