Earlier this month I was trying to read the recipe I was creating for dinner, only to find myself struggling with the book itself. I wanted the book to stand up on the counter so that I could glance at the instructions while I was cooking instead of having to walk across the room to the dining room table where it often lays (so as to prevent it from getting dirty from food). In a side comment to my husband, I said, "I need a book stand for my cookbook." A few minutes later I realized I didn't hear him in the living room anymore, and I wondered where he had run off to. The house had gotten really quiet. Ten minutes later he reappeared in the kitchen, holding a cookbook stand he had created out of an Erector set. Wow! The based of the stand could use to be a couple inches wider, but it sure worked a million times better than none at all. I guess it's true that I really did marry an engineer.
