Why is it that we still see stories like this about people trying to censor books in public libraries? I’m working in a small(ish) town library at the moment and I know from experience that the people that complain about some of the “trash” our kids see are the same people who feel that the selection of romance novels is too limited. Of course, for the price of one copy of Blankets we could get four or five Harlequin books.

Here’s a recipe I’ll have to convince the SmiCollums to whip up for me (since the smell of bacon is verboten in my house), Bacon Caramel — yum-oh!
