RE: "Have you gotten Lobster at Home yet? "
I haven't received it yet, janie... will let u know when it comes. Don't know if it woulda interested me at full price but it's a large coffee-table book, and appears loaded w/ lovely photos and food styling, and White is a renowned chef, so I couldn't pass it up for three bucks USED!
P.S. Since I was asked in a PM- the gentle soul in today's avatar holding the LIVE Alaskan King Crab is my former partner, Arturo.

Janie- Jasper White's "Lobster at Home" arrived in today's mail. My first impressions are good- the USED book purchased for just a couple bucks appears brand-spankin'-new and never read! It's got a colorful, lovely cover, feels solid and has a weighty feel in my hands. So far- so good! As soon as I get more of a chance to read thru some of it- I'll offer more.
I also ordered a USED copy of "Jamie's Italy" by Jamie Oliver to send to a buddy for his birthday. I have enjoyed the one Jamie book I have, but has anyone gotten their hands on "Jamie's Italy"? Did I make a good choice? I've given my Italian friend many kitchen books over the years by Sophia Loren, Marcella Hazan, Lidia, Mario, Giada... I hope Jamie's makes a fine addition to his boot-collection!

Would that be along with the whips and chains?

I got "White Trash Cooking 2" a few years ago as a gag-gift for Christmas... But I just ordered these as well. If they're half as good as the one I've got I expect to be falling to the floor and laughing my backside off in a couple days when they arrive!

(BTW, janie- I'm not as impressed w/ "Lobster at Home" as I had hoped to be. Don't get me wrong- much of it was helpful and some of the recipes were nice- but I prefer more photos in my cookbooks. Some don't mind a lack of pictures- but I'm like a kid- I like my poetry to rhyme, and I like my books to be loaded w/ pictures!)
