Answer: The Joy of Cooking

True story. 1986. Neighbors and friends had gathered for a night of food, fun, wine and games. Have you ever played the game Trivial Pursuit? I've always enjoyed it but was never very good at it. It's a test of one's abilit to recall trivia stored in the deep recesses of the mind. Categories of the game range from sports to history. Anyway, to play the game, participants are divided into teams. I was never one of the first chosen. I don't clog my brain with worthless trivia, and I'd developed a reputation for buckling under pressure, so no one really wanted me. Surprised? But, on this particular evening, as we played the game, the question was asked of our team, "What is the name of the book written by Irma Rombauer and Marion Rombauer Becker?" Everyone was stumped but me. I was thrilled to know the answer! Do you?


This begs the question: Did I choose this carreer, or did it choose me?

I'm guessing it is a cookbook?
