| 0:16.5 | I'm coming to you on one of those exceedingly rare rainy days here in Austin, Texas. |
| 0:21.7 | Actually, I was supposed to see Adams for Peace at Austin City Limits this weekend, and it was |
| 0:25.8 | totally rained out, which was a bummer, but then I got to see some of the most epic |
| 0:30.7 | back-to-back comebacks in Boston sports history. So all is well here in Austin. Lots of |
| 0:37.3 | excitement going on. One quick thing, |
| 0:39.6 | I can't believe it, but we haven't really focused on the Facebook page all that much yet. |
| 0:44.4 | And so we're just coming up on 10,000 fans, which is awesome. It's a huge milestone. But to put |

| 1:32.8 | But basically what it is is a collaborative cookbook where we take some of the best cooks |
| 1:38.1 | in paleo and gluten-free and beyond and put all of their favorite recipes in one spot so that you guys can have it and |
