True This...

From Stuff No One Told Me

I am...

Yes, it's Glenn Close, but you've got to admit she looks a little Victor Garber pictured above.

Who am I?

This is an actor on a set of a movie. Do you know who this person is?

Cherry Chews (BYU Bakery Recipe)

The BYU Bakery is known for two desserts-their mint brownies and Cherry Chews. Personally, the mint brownies are far inferior to these cookies (and I'm a fan of mint brownies).
I’ve seen people online and in cooking magazines looking for this recipe. Once you take a couple bites, you’ll understand why these cookies have a cult following. There’s no pictures of the cookies because they go too fast, but they should look pink (light pink, unless you use a little food dye). Taste-wise, they taste like cherry almond happiness. Yes, happiness is a taste.

the positive

Today I thought about Pearl Harbor, pondered about the life that Elizabeth Edward's kids would have without their mom and then was reminded that it's Tom Wait's birthday. Here's some Tom for you to enjoy.
