Favorite Links

The website for my book "Creamy and Crunchy." There's an excerpt from the book and the table of contents, a peanut-butter challenge quiz, my blog and events and media pages. There are also links to well-known songs about peanuts and peanut butter, photos and other things to keep visitors amused. I like to think it's a fun site.
