1. New Old Cookbook - I thought this was really cool. The oldest published cookbook just got a remake and is now available. The cookbook, by Malinda Russell, is 160 years old. There has to be some really good (clean) stuff in that book. It's also Black History Month (are we still allowed to push that?), and there's a lot of history and significance that can be found through food.
2. Frankie Munoz - This dude went from Malcolm in the Middle and decided, I'm gonna be a race car driver! Munoz finished 10th recently in his debut as a NASCAR driver.
3. Yankees Policy - It's about time. The Yankees really were eventually going to find themselves in something MUCH uglier than a narrative surrounding "would George have done this?!" or "Why, this is the Yankee way!". Kudos to Hal Steinbrenner for the move.

1. Another Plane Crash - This one in Toronto. A place landed on its roof. What is going on out there? Doesn't help when you read and see more Federal cuts.
2. Mass Layoffs - I'm all for trimming the deficit and wasteful spending in the Government. However, laying people off BEFORE knowing what they do, or without a long-term plan, seems hasty.
3. Impact on Farmers - My advice is to do some research on the current state of farming - especially farmers - across the country. Devestating stories. Even worse? Black farmers. And it ain't getting better on new policies.
