This video, brought to me by my friend Tricia Watts and the letters FB, brings together two things I love: vibes of “Sesame Street” and baking cookies.

The newest branch of the Albany Public Library opened today and WWWE is showcased therein along with some of its kin from the food side.  (Please feel free to set up similar  guerrilla displays in your local Barnes & Noble.  And would that we might hear some more bright news out of Albany this week.)

Thanks to my friends Elizabeth, Matt and Nathaniel for spotting and documenting it. Enjoy your new library!

I’m continuing to blather about the Cooking Channel (premieres May 31) because it has come to my attention (thanks, Amy!) that the new channel will be showing “Galloping Gourmet” episodes! It sounds too good to be true, but we’ll find out soon enough.  Looky here for a run-down of some of the other shows on deck. And per usual, let me remind you that there’s practically a whole chapter devoted to Graham Kerr in WWWE.

Same great flavor and all-natural ingredients, but now more pliable and portable, and just in time for Mother’s Day again. No need to get up and rush out, just click here.
