I have recieved both Alton Brown's Gear For Your Kitchen and America (The Book). Both are excellent, although Gear is taking me a little more time to read than I had hoped. It's written in Alton's general style, but it's so damn information-saturated that I have trouble working through it quickly. Reabena gave me both of them as a present for...well, I'm not sure what. I guess just for being me. :/
Whatever else I may ever say about her, let it be known that she purchases thoughtful gifts. :)
