I love to cook but never been much of a baker. After a horridly failed cheesecake, I concluded that baking wasn't my forte.

The other day as I was pulling in to the drive way around 8pm, mind you it's broad day light at this time of the year, a taxi was sort of in the way dropping off a girl. She looked attractive, wearing a pretty summer dress, sunglasses, and ugly clogs. She was stumbling towards the main gate, and as I ...

Seeing how long the wait was I checked the closest bookstore which was 'out'. It was an ...
