A KEEPER!
Are we there yet by Santat, Dan
Cute audio story of a boy in a car with his parents and they are heading to the grandmother's house.
It is over 1000 miles away and the boy doesn't have much patience, gets bored and his butt hurts. As an adult we've taken rides that are over 1100 miles long so I can fully understand where this story is going.

One thing I am confused about is the total fat is say 12.2 grams. sat. fat is 4.2 g, transfat is 0, so what other fats and what are their levels?
Why mention transfat if it's always 0? So I guess the other missing fat is really mono and poly fats?
Wish all the recipes had the same measurements used throughout rather than mixing them up.
