I wish…
Posted by Mandy on March 15th, 2008 filed in Bookythat Wordpress supported goodreads. Then I could be lazy and not have to write a post here about the book I just finished, Born Standing Up. Loved it. I’ve had a girl-crush on Steve Martin since I was about 3, I think.
Also, just started reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life, given my recent interest in food, making food, were food comes from, and lusting after a home with acreage where I could grow my own. Our own. Whatever. Looking forward to reading Michael Pollan’s stuff, too, as soon as it ever gets returned to our library!

You can borrow my copy of Omnivore’s Dilemma. I am trying to read Huck Finn again. It is a good book, and you shouldalso check out “Real Food,” by Nina Planck. I have been reading Local Harvest’s website and now I am overwhelmed by possibilities. I just want to source raw-milk that I don’t have to go to Greenwich to get.
Also, purchase a copy of anything by Edna Lewis. She does Southern Food the right way: Slow, old-fashioned and deliciously in-season. No Paula Deen, she. She is above reproach, and even includes a wonderful recipe for chow-chow. She talks a lot about “putting food by,” right up your alley!
Enjoy your time in warmer climes. Hope you take some good photos! Love from P-ville.

You know you’re married to a software engineer right?
What do you want in terms of support my lovely?
