Is it an American institution or am I so out of it that this crazy Canuck chick has blindly walked past? I can't say I'm the kind of person who buys cook books and never uses them. I use some more than others, true, but almost always are they used. All the greasespots, berry stains and dustings of flour can attest to that. I hate to think that the new books I just got from amazon will be heading in that direction but at least they will look loved. :) OK… so don’t faint but I’ve never even seen a Nordstrom in my life.

As in, I hate to shop. But I keep hearing about Nordstrom's big sales...so I might have to check them out sometime. But a Nordstrom cookbook? I'm on board with that! I've eaten in the cafe at Horton plaza. As for why we buy cookbooks and don't use them...well, they're so...PRETTY. All those luscious-looking photos...it's like a grown-up's version of a Sears Wish Book. And you just don't want to sully it. Alas, I’m not much of a shopper. As in, I hate to shop.

Not to preach, but unfortunately, most CSB is caught illegally, and it's very hard to determine if the stuff a store buys is legal or not. Either way, due to strenuous overfishing, estimates put the CSB at extinct within 5 years. As in gone. So it's best not to eat or buy it. I made a CSB recipe last night with escolar, which is also a nice firm, buttery fish, and it was delicious. Mr. Food Musings said he actually preferred it to the CSB I normally use.
