My first cook book

Here is my first cookbook, given to me by my great-aunt Kate. It was published in 1967 and it couldnt have been much after that she gave it to me for Christmas. It has the most fantastic illustrations and interesting recipes. Im not saying I made many of them at the time, but it certainly sparked my love of cookery books and the feeling that reading them was just as pleasurable as cooking and eating the food.

Heading to Norfolk to Get the Truth Behind Americas First Ice Cream Cone

I sure hope I can handle the truth. Im heading out on my last press trip of the year (I think), to Norfolk, Virginia. I was invited to cover the Town Point Virginia Wine Festival, as well as sample the local cuisine, and since Ive never been to the area I decided to check it out.

On Friday were stopping by Doumars Cones and BBQ, where a certain Abe Doumar is said to have created the worlds first ice cream cone. I will be subjecting them to the same hardcore investigative journalism youve come to expect from me.

That said, after a few free ice cream cones Im liable to say anything. Hey, you want objectivity, go read the...er...umm...well, you get the point.

Here is a very cute video I found on Doumars Cones. Enjoy, and stay tuned!
