But? Nope, not available in the UK or Australia.

Sigh. Back to the drawing board.

I really thought this was going to be an easy month. I love to eat, I love to cook, and I love to read about both. Sigh. Nope.

So, next on the failure list -- Alice, Let's Eat by Calvin Trillin. Hilariously funny book about iconic and little known places to eat all across America by the renown New Yorker columnist. This was the book that got my DW and I to rearrange our trip from NYC to California to make sure we went through Kansas City to eat barbeque at Arthur Bryant's. Price is $11.99, so almost within budget. But available in the UK or Australia? Nope.

Wait, got it!

Coming up...
