Great list. On the “8 Ways to Tell if Your Loved Ones Plan to Eat You” list, does “sampling” the “goods” while she’s sleeping mean I actually want to eat my wife?!

Just checked out all these sites. Monopoly Cards very cute….but it helps if you know the cooks to really appreciate the humor. My favorite was Michael Pollan’s favorite food rules to live by. I think I need more than one of the waistband extenders! The doughnut sandwiches are disgusting. Thanks for a fun list, Amy.
