Immersed in new kitchen adventures

Article: Immersed in new kitchen adventures

Writer: Dan Macdonald

This article seems to contain a little bit of everything. I found the writer hinting about wanting an immersible blender for Christmas, making a sales pitch for someone's book with listed price, and Mr. Macdonald even manage to squeeze in some recipes and party suggestions. The column took on an idea that the writer was your own personal pen pal with thoughts of the day.

Nancy's Comments: This one was a doozie...I couldn't resist checking it out. The writer Dan apparently put part of his Christmas list in his column suggesting that an immersible blender would be nice. He was handing out recipes and party tips too. He still found time and space to suggest a book- including retail price. How nice !! He seems like a good friend to have if you need some free advertising. Seems like good old pen pal Dan could be called a jack of all trades and master of none.....well at least in the kitchen... and by the way...he got his immersible blender for Christmas ....from his wife. He also mentioned in his column that....he surprised to find out....just how many people read his column.....which seems like a thoughtless remark......they surely wouldn't pay him to write a column if nobody wanted to read it...... Anyone wanna share a recipe ????

This is interesting...if I cooked or had any recipes i would love to swap some. I have a very hard time actually finding time to cook anything that doesnt require a microwave. Between school, homework, and work I rarely find time to even be at my house if I'm not sleeping. Sounds like an interesting article because it is very personal to the reader.
