True story.

Cooks and bakers are distinctly different creatures. Cooks are the jazz musicians, bakers and pastry chefs are the classical pianists.

Review

The Magicians by Lev Grossman

Takes the best of Harry Potter, Narnia, Lord of the Rings, and a few other fantasy worlds, mixes them with a double of Scotch. And perhaps because Grossman makes it about as close to real life as a fantasy could be—gritty, painful, dark—The Magicians goes where those other books never could.

Did I mention our weekly dinners are awesome?

  • Me: Wait, is this just butter? Am I just drinking butter?
  • Eric: No, clearly, that’s just pear juice…
  • Brandyn: (laughter)
  • Eric: …that’s also slightly hydrophobic.
  • Me: We’re just drinking butter!
  • Eric: You can afford to drink some butter, anyways.
  • Me: I don’t know if my arteries can. Let me wash it down with this ice cream…
