Thanks to everyone who recently purchased my book, The RoMANtic’s
Guide, at Amazon.com. Recently, it was the 20th most popular book in
terms of sales at the world’s largest bookstore. That’s 20 out of the
5 million or so titles they sell. Perhaps if you keep buying it, it
will make #1 by Valentine’s Day!

This issue is going out a day early as I am flying up to New York
today to do an interview with ABC-News and some other media.

Have a wired week — Michael

EDIBLE ART
by Sarah Williams

One year for Valentine’s Day I made my sweetie a sugar cookie card. I
made two big rectangle cookies with regular sugar cookie dough. When
they came out of the oven, I poked two holes on the same side of each
rectangle, so that the cookies could be strung together with string
twizzlers to resemble a card or book.

Before I strung the two together, I wrote a poem on heavy paper and
fill out an order form for a magazine he wanted. I folded the order
form so that it would fit neatly behind the poem and secured them to
one of the cookies with icing, then finished decorating both cookies
with the remaining icing I put them both in the freezer so that the
icing would set to the cookies. When they were ready I took them out
and strung them together with the twizzlers then carefully wrapped
them in tissue paper and put it back in the freezer for my husband to
find the on valentine’s day morning.

As I suspected the next morning my husband, who is fairly curious
person, found the tissue wrapped gift and opened it to reveal his
card. He like it so much that he didn’t want to eat it, which got me
worried because part of his present was underneath the poem.

I finally convinced him to eat it after we took pictures of it. As he
sadly started to take the poem off the cookie he noticed the order
form hidden behind, and with a big smile on his face, he realized why
I insisted on him taking it apart. After all the excitement we both
relaxed by eating his edible Valentine’s Day card.
