Free book pile scores

Another double-scoring day in the free book piles today, and even more exciting because I scored a craft book and a cookbook!




There are already a lot of sewing projects on my to-do list from the nifty patchwork book Rachel gave me for Christmas, but this one is definitely going on the shelf next to it. I felt like kind of a huge nerdy loser because a couple of other people saw Sew Darn Cute on the shelf and started making fun of it, while I was like "but I like to sew things" in a small voice.

I'm ambivalent about the whole Hungry Girl thing. It's great that the recipes are healthy and whatnot, but a lot of them require ingredients like soy milk, veggie burgers, and egg substitutes that I would not normally cook with (also what ARE egg substitutes??). Also am slightly squicked out by the cutesy recipe names like "Rockin' Tuna Melt" and "Pizzalicious Chop Chop." However, this recipe for "Zucchini Zazzle" muffins from hungry-girl.com looks amazing and I'm planning to try it.
