by Derek Markham on February 22, 2009 · 6 comments

I am NOT a coffee addict.

Am not.

But I dare say I might become one.

I do enjoy a good cup of coffee, but caffeine sometimes makes me edgy.  Though I have managed to mostly avoid the lure of Starbucks, I have been known to indulge in a white chocolate mocha at Second Cup, or a French Vanilla at Tim Horton’s… and don’t get me started about Iced Cappucino in the summer!!

Ethnic Cookbooks for Kids: Traveling the World, One Recipe at a Time

Handstand Kids doesn’t just offer a cookbook, but it is a kit.  Each cookbook introduces kids to one country and comes with a cooking accessory.

The Mexican kit comes in a plastic tortilla bag along with an oven mitt, and has been named Toy Directory’s Top Toy of 2008.  The recipes are not vegetarian like Honest Pretzels; however, most of them can be adapted and they are all natural.  I can’t wait to try the Wedding Cookies and Mexican Hot Chocolate (can you tell I have a sweet tooth?). Personally, I would prefer the Mexican kit came in something other than a plastic bag. [read the full article...]
