First off, THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO MY SS! I love my gifts! The cook book in particular is a fantastic gift for a few reasons. First, I did list that one skill I'd like to learn is cooking, so obviously it's awesome in that regard. Second, it also appeals to the scientific side of myself which makes it more interesting for me, and more likely I'll learn and retain things from this book. Third, it really is the gift that keeps on giving. A novel, video game, food, tv show, movie, all those would be enjoyed once, maybe twice, or on the rare occasion, three or four times. This book, however, will be constantly referenced. For the rest of my life. And when I can't get any more out of it, I can pass it down to my kid so they can learn the science of cooking, and so on. In that regard, this gift is phenomenal and again, thank you SS. The T-Shirt is awesome too and I can't wait to wear it around all my iPhone using friends :D
