Also coming up is Alton Brown's book signing at Whole Food Downtown (525 N. Lamar). Alton Brown (Good Eats, Feasting on Asphalt, Iron Chef America) needs to introduction, but I will add that many hours of watching Good Eats helped me develop my baking skills.  Get  copy of his new book, The Early Years at BookPeople (603 N. Lamar) starting Monday, Sept. 28th.  Also, pick up a wrist band for the signing on Sunday, Oct. 18th, 1-4 pm at Whole Foods. I will be bringing cupcakes to this one. 

Here's a photo of my Flamed 6 quart Chrome Kitchen Aid mixer in Alton's Honor.
