Did I mention I love working in a library?

So, I was Googling a certain odd recipe this afternoon in preparation for a bridal shower I'm giving this weekend. And, sadly, the closest thing I could find was sponsored by Kraft. No way is that vile plastic food produced by an heinous, small-village-pillaging conglomeration touching our table. The thing was topped with marshmallows! What self-respecting adult eats marshmallows outside of a s'mores context? Not us. But, after what felt like ages of searching, I found a good recipe. Sounded faintly exotic, but yummy and comforting enough for guests. But no picture was to be had. Just a side box with a vague warning about not letting children near knives. But . . . the recipe was from a common magazine on this side of the country. And I checked our catalog, and of course we have it. So I moseyed downstairs, found the issue, and look! A picture of the finished product. Hooray for libraries.
