Let's start by assigning blame:  Al Gore.  Since he invented the internet, it's absolutely his fault for making us a fatter nation.  Not only can we find fabulous recipes in two clicks of a mouse, beautiful pictures and step-by-step commentary compel us to make things we never knew existed.  Cookbooks are limited, but the interwebs?  An infinite tangle of calorie-riddled deliciosity, oui?

Daggum it.  

I've stumbled across a few recipes recently I've gotta–just got to–try…the pictures alone made me gain three pounds.
