I received an email from Goodreads a couple of weeks ago and it had a list of books that you need to read before you see the movie. This book was on that list. So, I immediately added it to my wish list at my local library and here we are. I haven’t read this one yet, have you? What did you think?
Soups, Starters and Salads by Felicity Forster
Ahh, cookbooks. How I love thee. This one is a beauty. I’ve been trying to go through my collection and cull it down, but every time I pick one up I end up lost in it. Then it goes back on the teetering pile. This one has some excellent recipes in it, but it also has a section with explanations. Yes, I know that you can find all of this online, but I love sitting with a giant book in my lap and not having to gaze into a screen. I love books.
Take a look at this recipe. Grilled Tomatoes on Soda Bread. I am swimming in tomatoes right now, which is a great problem to have. This will be excellent.
Borscht. Denton has asked for years if I would try a recipe of Borscht. Here’s why you should pick up an actual book with food photographs: I have resisted for over 20 years, because it just sounds horrible. I don’t know why! There is no reasoning behind this except for my wacky brain because I love beets! This book has made me want to make Borscht.
Liva came in and sat down next to me last night while I was reading this book and glanced over and said “That actually looks good”. This is my child who will NOT eat a salad. She’s game for almost anything – as long as it didn’t have a heartbeat – but she will not eat lettuce. I can’t wait to try it!
You should definitely pick up a copy of this to flip through, its gorgeous.
Sink Reflections by Marla Cilley – The FlyLady
You can tell that I haven’t been standing in many lines this past month, can’t you. This is still my current “Purse” book. Have you ever heard of the FlyLady? I have followed her for YEARS. The book is great. It’s full of useful information and great tips. My problem is: I love reading books about cleaning and organizing and I DON’T love actually doing the cleaning and organizing. Sigh. Now I just need to implement everything I’m reading.
I have also been reading from my giant pile of magazines. If you want to start your own magazine pile, all the ones below are on sale right now for $5.00! I love them, I’m sure you will too!
That’s all I’ve got for now. What have you been reading? I’m always looking for a new book!
