Mini trampoline: Good low-impact workout, or disaster waiting to happen?

Also, I am in the market for a good, general cookbook (think "Joy of Cooking") for:
- Mediterranean Cooking (esp. Greece and Italy)
- Recipes for Lent
- Jewish cooking

Any recommendations?

I am trying to deal with the incredible paucity of fish and bean recipes in most "generican" cookbooks. Vegetarian cookbooks are slightly better. Slightly.

I think I can see it, if you're thinking christening rather than printing. Because that's supposed to be receiving something from the font, isn't it?

Yes, I guess it is...

I've got a couple of British "how to eat cheap" books, which are interesting, if involving a fair amount of math and translation. One thing that surprises me is that they both have moussaka in them, which is considered a complex regional dish here rather than something you whip up out of odds and ends.

Really? Interesting...

Really. You need a Greek cookbook to get it here. It does seem to be a bit labor intensive, but then, so's Shepard's pie, really.

Interesting.

I don't consider Shepherd's Pie as complex as Moussaka, I have to say - it's just mince+gravy and mashed potatoes (or, mince+tomatoes+carrots/onions+gravy and mashed potatoes if you're doing the luxury version).

Moussaka does seem to require a fair amount of fussing!
