Here comes another month--a short month too! The month of love, according to advertisements. We will celebrate Mardi Gras most of the month, then Fat Tuesday leading into Lent and here comes the best thing to do during Lent, especially if you knit.presented by Victoria Methodist Bristol Knitalongs--join their facebook group to receive the directions along with reflections as you knit along.
I just returned from a whirl wind trip to Japan and the Far East—and I didn’t even leave my comfy chair! Blogs will do that to you—catch ahold of one and off you go! We sailed through cake baking, doryaki making, sock knitting techniques, whiskey making, and this Swedish Noir
I seem to be on a food craze lately—love reading books that Circle food with people’s lives. After finishing “Kitchen Front” by Jennifer Ryan, I found other books along food lines. One tells the history of Chinese foods—history, myth, and legends of your favorite foods.
I'm ready for this book! and my mouth is watering for some good Chinese food!
"tales—based in real history and folklore—are filled with squabbling dragons, magical fruits, and hungry monks. This book will bring you to far-off times and marvelous places, all while making your mouth water. And, along the way, you might just discover a deeper understanding of the resilience and triumph behind this food, and what makes it undeniably American."
The book on the left--"The Divine Proverb of Streusel"--A granddaughter goes through her late grandmother's belongings and finds an old fashion notebook filled with handwritten German recipes and wise sayings pulled from the Book of Proverbs--German recipes included as well!
The book on the left--"The Kamogawa Food Detectives" unusual topic for a book! Just fascinating that the father-daughter advertise themelves as "food detectives"! Perfect! They are capable of recreating a dish from their customers pasts that may well hold the key to unlocking forgotten memories--a super read!
What's for dinner? Maybe German, Chinese, or Japanese! Oh what a choice!!
Happy reading and eating!
