"Listeria outbreak: 4 deaths, 30 hospitalizations linked to recalled enoki mushrooms"

I am thrilled to see the Dark Chocolate Oreos are still being stocked on local store shelves (as opposed to being a limited time offer). Just the aroma will soothe my soul after a bad day at work. Remind me to get a life.

From this morning's BookBub email: A new cookbook, so not a lot of reviews... "The Easy Filipino Cookbook: 100 Classics Made Simple" Kindle Edition $.99US Use the "Look Inside" feature to see the list of recipes. I am a US Prime member and the price you see may vary.

From various emails notifying me of some bargain-priced cookbooks: From Cambridge's Sofra Bakery and Cafe "Soframiz: Vibrant Middle Eastern Recipes from Sofra Bakery and Cafe [A Cookbook]" Kindle Edition $2.99US There's a recipe from the cookbook on this cookbook's Amazon info page, "DRAGON BEAN PLAKI". Use the "Look Inside" feature and scroll down to see some recipes. "Japanese Cookbook for Beginners: Classic and Modern Recipes Made Easy" Kindle Edition $.99US There's a recipe from the cookbook on this cookbook's Amazon info page, "Ginger Pork with Green Cabbage and Rice". Use the "Look Inside" feature to see the list of recipes. "Essential Vegetable Fermentation: 70 Inventive Recipes to Make Your Own Pickles, Kraut, Kimchi, and More" Kindle Edition $.99US The paperback version hasn't been released yet so this cookbook has no reviews.

When I first started posting these bargain-priced e-cookbooks, I didn't realize there would be a difference between the US version of Amazon and the Canadian Amazon. Which is why I now post that annoying little disclaimer at the end of my posts. I really am sorry anyone outside the US can't share in the same cheap price. I never know how long the sale prices will last. Some e-ccokbooks seem to linger at the same low price for a year and others, as in this case, go off sale almost immediately. I just fail to understand why this happens. Perhaps it has something to do with temporarily boosting sales to get a book onto a best seller list. It's a cheat but seems like it's effective.

I am referring to the regular Butterfinger candy bar. They changed the recipe. It actually used to taste buttery. There was much ado when they (recently) made the change to the recipe. The candy bar does not taste the same as it used to.

Oddly, I received a PR email from Kripsy Kreme at my workplace (so no online link) with this announcement: "Krispy Kreme® Collaborates with Butterfinger® in Collision of ‘Krispety’ Cravings with Two New Doughnuts" Having tasted (and detested) the new-recipe Butterfinger candy bar, I will pass on these doughnuts.
