"Wolke, longtime professor of chemistry and author of the Washington Post column Food 101, turns his hand to a Cecil Adams style compendium of questions and answers on food chemistry. Is there really a difference between supermarket and sea salt How is sugar made? Should cooks avoid aluminum pans? Interspersed throughout Wolke's accessible and humorous answers to these and other mysteries are recipes demonstrating scientific principles. There is gravy that avoids lumps and grease; Portuguese Poached Meringue that demonstrates cream of tartar at work; and juicy Salt-Seared Burgers.... With its zest for the truth, this book will help cooks learn how to make more intelligent choices." --Publishers Weekly

Timberland Leather Wallet
Decent quality leather, fits nicely in my pockets. The only thing was that it had a strange smell out of the box and took a while to go away.

A nice sized wallet for front pocket keeping, holds the essentials & more quite well
Size: One Size, Color: Brown (Money Clip) 2
I like that I can keep cash, credit cards, ID and ATM cards all safely secured in this combo wallet/money clip that fits nicely in a back or front pants pocket (I keep mine in my front pocket). I've gotten this brand/style before, probably 6-8 years ago and it's the only wallet I'll use. I needed to replace mine as the spring metal clip does eventually wear through the leather at the rounded end of the money clip, but mine still functions just fine (I just wanted a new one for the holidays!) A well-made wallet and one I'll keep using and getting as long as I can find them.

Supple leather with a compact design.
Size: One Size, Color: Black II (Money Clip), Size: One Size, Color: Black II (Money Clip)
This is exactly what I was looking for and the price??? Unbelievably low. I saw a Carhartt one that I liked, but I didn’t care for the waxy look of leather on it so I looked on their website and they only offered it in that. I searched front pocket wallet on Amazon and I purchased this. It is a higher-quality leather, the price tag inside says $55. I paid under $18. The one thing I did like about the Carhartt one, it had a magnetic strap for the cash where as this one has a fixed money clip, but I see no problems with the design. Very minimalist design.
