99 Problems (But a Dish Ain't One)

I have, perhaps, an unhealthy obsession with poking fun at 99-cent stores. (See, for example, One Two Three) So it almost feels like karma that, as previously noted, another one is opening in PLG.

I had never thought I'd need a reason to shop there regularly, but that was before I found out about The 99-Cent Only Store Cookbook. According to Amazon, it features favorites such as Artichoke Spinach Bake on Homemade Pizza Bread, Green Beans Au Gratin, Chicken Tetrazinni and Pinot Noir Poached Pear Tart.

I almost feel like we don't need another restaurant anymore.

We still have the soon to be open so-called "gourmet deli" on the corner of Fenimore & Flatbush to look forward to.

My wife and I actually own that book! (and we live on midwood). It is a great book and the recipes are a kick (and tasty!) The 99 cent stores that the author writes about are in California and have more grocery items, I'm worried that the one coming our way will have more ... plastic products? Am I wrong? Will it have food? If so, the book is a must own ... and instead of having a new restaurant in the neighborhood we will just have 99 cent only cookbook nights! (potluck).
The book has a website:
the99centonlystorecookbook.com
You would think I wrote the thing, but it is kind of up my alley!
