With grit, poetry, and humor, Peter Heller, acclaimed author of The River and The Whale Warriors recounts his remarkable journey of discovery--of surfing, an entirely new challenge; of the ocean's beauty and power; of the strange surf subculture; of love; and, most of all, of how to seek adventure while crafting a meaningful life. Author of the New York Times bestselling novel The Dog StarsWinner of the National Outdoor Book Award for Literature Having resolved to master a big-hollow wave--that is, to go from kook (surfese for beginner) to shredder--in a single year, Heller travels from Southern California down the coast of Mexico in the company of his girlfriend and the eccentric surfers they meet. Exuberant and fearless, Heller explores the technique and science of surfing the secrets of its culture, and the environmental ravages to the stunning coastline he visits. As Heller plumbs the working of his own heart and finds joy in both love and surfing, he affords readers vivid insight into this fascinating world, with all of its perils and pleasures, its absurdity and wonder. Exhilarating, entertaining, and moving, Kook is a love story between a man and his surfboard, a man and his girlfriend, a not-so-old man and the sea.

Bake and Take - Excellent for Large (or small) Gatherings!
Size: 25 Pack w/ Lids
I ordered these 9 x 13 foil pans specifically for a trek to Mom's on Mother's Day. I chose them because they included the covers, are disposable, reusable and the best way to transport a warm meal to a family gathering. I have 8 siblings. I made pans of enchiladas for each family unit. Particularly in this current health situation - even among family members, the separate portions minimizes contact with others' food.
Each pan was perfect for 18 chicken/cheese enchiladas. I made 10 pans for the entire family. I also ordered smaller pans (8.4 x 5.9) from this seller so each sibling could take some enchiladas home. The lids sealed perfectly; the pans were sturdy. I also used the small pans to make croissant crème brûlée custard - each person enjoyed their own portion of dessert – they all ate right from the pan – how convenient is that?
I could not be happier with this amazingly convenient way to 'bake and take' - and NO WASHING PANS! I rolled into the gathering like a caterer - my family was really impressed. I intend to bake and take - AND bake and stay (again, NO WASHING PANS!)
I made a large salad to consume during the week. I made it in the large pan and popped it in the fridge, easy peasy. I plan to use these pans for bar-b-ques. They’re great for marinating before grilling, taking the meat off the grill and placing into the pans AND, they are the ‘serving platters’.
I highly recommend these pans (and the seller – I received them wicked fast!)

Great for holidays
Size: 25 Pack w/ Lids
Perfect for holidays. You can label the lids and then toss when done. Bottom can be a little flimsy but gets the job done
