Oooh, yum. Sounds really good. I don't have the last few issues because we are moving next month, and I didn't want to renew my subscription to deal with it. I haven't been able to find the last couple of issues in stores though, and my goto spot for them, Sam's Club, hasn't had them. Booo. I'll have to look for them to pop up on eBay.
