Food geeks take note:

If you're going to be anywhere near the Beaverton location of Powell's Books (the world's best bookstores) on November 29th, you can pick up a signed edition of The America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook (from the people at Cook's Illustrated/America's Test Kitchen, the world's best cooking magazine/show). If you're not familiar with ATK or Cook's, then I suggest you drop everything and immediately try their recipe for brownies, available here.
