One of my friends from the internet has consistently scolded my eating habits and encouraged me to move away from items sold in paper sacks or that feature cartoon animals on the package.  Today I got an early birthday gift and an unsubtle reminder that perhaps I should start being, well, better.

Anyway, it was maybe one of the nicest gifts I’ve ever received, if only because of the message behind it and I’m sending a big home-cooked thank you to the Pacific Northwest this morning.

Also, it should be noted that the first time that pot ever touched the stove was when I took that picture.  I don’t need cookware for my famous Pop Tart and Tears sandwich.
