I learned something that is making me question my fundamental beliefs about life and the universe. A truth which I believed down to my core has been called into question: Harold McGee,... 155@http://www.kevincooney.com/ Food 2007-11-21T09:23:42-05:00 http://www.kevincooney.com/archives/000154.php I really like Halloween. I especially get a kick out of making costumes that are tailored to the audience that will be seeing them, as I find costumes funnier when people can really relate to them.
