To use the Ike tool, list all of your tasks and activities, and put each into one of the following categories:
- Important and urgent.

FOOD
Thomas Keller 1955 – better nutters
People around the country indulge every October 14th on National Dessert Day!
This peanut butter sandwich cookie–Thomas Keller’s take on his favorite childhood cookie–has a sophisticated edge thanks to vanilla paste and high-quality butter, while keeping all of the sweet-salty goodness from the classic Nutter Butters on which it’s based.
