As I travel around the United States and Canada as a safety
consultant and motivational speaker for schools, colleges,
universities, and private industry, I am amazed at the information
found on cooking located in bookstores and restaurants. Why write a
book about popcorn? Because I love popcorn, but more importantly,
like a student in a classroom, I had a need to learn more about one
of my favorite snacks. This book does more than just explain how to
pop corn. This book can be used by teachers as a history lesson and
be used in home economics, science classes, math classes,
agricultural classrooms, etc. Hopefully, this book will be used as
another fun tool to educate children. Everyone loves popcorn It is
my hope that you enjoy this book.
A LESSON IN PERSPECTIVE
When it comes to Sangwoo, Jaeyoung’s got his work cut out for him.
First of all, Sangwoo refuses to entertain the idea of a male partner
despite clearly having the hots for Jaeyoung. It doesn’t help that
Sangwoo is a complete newbie when it comes to romance and
relationships. And the cherry on top―Jaeyoung’s got an
honest-to-goodness rival to fend off! At least he’s managed to persuade
Sangwoo to keep things purely physical, but with rising libidos and
emotions, that may be harder than either of them could’ve anticipated!
