“My Best Friend is a person who will give me a book I have not read.” Abraham Lincoln

Lincoln knew how to choose best friends! I also am delighted to learn that he loved to eat. I just found out that Lincoln carried gingerbread cookies in his pants pockets, which he shared with friends. A person who loves books and cookies is my idea of an ideal friend.  If you are interested to find out more about Lincoln’s eating habits, check out the recent book, Abraham Lincoln in the Kitchen: A Culinary View of Lincoln’s Life and Times.
