Alright, I know Man-of-Honor is not a traditional thing, but I'd be damned if I would not let Marcus be a part of our wedding. I actually gained a brother out of the whole arrangement. I do not know what we would have done without his guidance. I just got done adding the cookbooks Marcus gave us for our wedding gifts to my database. (BTW, the Brennan's 1964 cookbook is truly over-the-top!) Marcus is such the man! I had to put all the personal notes he wrote on 3x5 cards, into the database so that we will never forget, not just why, but the personal reason he gave us these amazing finds. WE will always cherish these wonderful finds. We now HAVE TO SEND YOU, Marcus, the Gasparilla Cookbook from Tampa. I just loved seeing Alexandrea and Isabelle reading their books and kicking back just before the wedding and then both of them jumping in with all the help in setting up both days. Thank you all for all that you did for us for our wedding.

I have the Gasparilla cookbook! I found it in the same antique store that I found the Brennan's cookbook. It was just after I was down there in 2003, and had gone with Shannon & Dana scouting wedding locations down in Ybor City. So, I recognized the title immediately as being Tampa and picked it up. I don't know if I've made anything in it yet, but it is a proud feature in the ever-growing cookbook library.
I so glad that you are enjoying the books. I really loved reading the stories in "Talking with my Mouth Full" & "Consuming Passions" and then confirmed with Shannon that you were a reader so that I could get a copy for y'all to enjoy.
One of my favorite categories to search out in the antique stores is Louisiana & New Orleans. I'll now be picking up some for y'all as well.
