I'm going to do something that I rarely do here lately.  I'm going to pay, on purpose, for a club membership and magazine.  I've gotten burned by Good Housekeeping, Self, and one of those teen ones where you enter the sweeps and if you don't uncheck the box you get sent a magazine.

I entered Cooking Club of America's contests last month and they send me a free magazine.  I got the 2nd magazine also for Aug/Sept and I really liked the magazine.  It was full of excellent looking photos of recipes that will never look the same when I cook them.  Also it showed on every other page some kitchen gadget or gizmo or some item that they were giving away.  Sure enough I took my membership number to the cookingclub.com website and entered a good half a dozen contests.

They have combined some of my favorite things like recipes, kitchen gadgets, cooking, bragging, and entering sweepstakes so that it is one of the best magazine reads I've had in a while.

So because I liked the look of the apple I'm going to take a bite...
