He certainly couldn’t have imagined that his widely acclaimed movie Bella would literally save lives and souls. But that’s the story that author Tim Drake tells so well in his book "Behind Bella."

Americans waste hundreds of dollars per year when cooking because they are unaware of the opportunities to save energy and time in their home kitchens.

But I find it funny that you consider them schlubs. To me, they’re just regular guys.” ...
