Hands down, the just-published “Bite Me” is, as the cover states, a “stomach-satisfying, visually gratifying, fresh-mouthed cookbook.” And it all starts with the bright, blue cover that features shrimp hanging by clothespins on a laundry line.

You don’t need to be a chef to want a lovely kitchen. I’m barely to sous chef level, yet I’m constantly on the lookout for quirky additions to my lime green-painted kitchen.

Randy Cassimus has spent years cranking out rock ’n’ roll in bars and clubs throughout Oklahoma City. He’s used to playing over the clink of beer glasses and shouts of liquored-up patrons when he plays with local band The Hi-Def Howlers. So he wasn’t quite sure what to expect when he booked an acoustic gig at a bookstore.
