Today is Fannie Farmer's birthday.
Name doesn't ring a bell? Yeah, when I got the e-mail from Writer's Almanac, I didn't know who she was either. She's the first cookbook writer. Ever.
I wonder if she knew she was spawning a multi-billion dollar publishing trend when she did that? I wonder what one of us is going to do that's interesting and innovative that will change the world, too. So, what do you have planned for today?
