Talk Healthy

EW EW EW. I'd remove him as a friend. Or at least delete all his wall messages. Is he sending you private messages too? Ew. ETA: I just read your wall. He is slimy. And clearly he does not get that friends can have inside jokes (or ones that they share with TH friends). ETA more: He's not cute, Mari...

I *just* started We need to talk about Kevin by Lionel Shriver. I haven't read far enough to make any judgements.

I just finished A Place Called Here by Ceceila Ahern. Her stuff is light but not too fluffy.

I'm now reading The Booster by Jennifer Solow. I'm loving her style. It's modern and a bit edgy.

Yeah, I didn't read the synopsis before I got it from the library. Every month they list new books and I just go on a rampage checking them off to be put on hold. I think from now on I will cross reference with Chapters.

I'm reading Case Histories by Kate Atkinson. It's a crime novel, set in the UK, but it feels different from a normal crime novel; she really paints the characters well (I actually care about them) and it's not dry. So far the first two chapters have been about 2 entirely different sets of characters...

Mainly healthy ones, LB. I have these schemes of cooking actual recipes and then I just end up throwing meals together. I have The Healthy Family: Cooking for the Rushed by Sandi Richard on hold at the library for me right now; just waiting for it to come in. She has a show on Food Network Canada th...

I read more novels than anything else. I get irritated by short stories. I actually really enjoy reading cookbooks. I never make anything out of them but they're fun to read.

Spudd, it is all like that, and I was annoyed at first too. There's a reason I don't read short stories! But it all sort of gets tied up in the end, and in some of the vignettes you learn more about a previously mentioned character. It's all kind of intertwined. It's not my fave Maeve Binchy, but it...

I just finished Whitethorn Woods by Maeve Binchy. I'm so glad she returned to setting a book in Ireland, it seems more natural for her. I'm reading Size 12 is not fat by Meg Cabot, and although I'm only a couple of chapters in I am really annoyed by a mistake I caught. In the first few pages the mai...

I gave up on The Twins of Tribeca and started A Tale of Two Sisters by Anna Maxted. So far I've chuckled a couple of times already. It's british chicklit, but not TOO light.

Still listening to Mindless Eating. Still highly recommend it.

I just finished Which Brings me to You by Steve Almond (author of Candyfreak and Julianna Baggott. While I liked the premise (it's told through a series of letters between a man and woman) it just sort of left me cold. Right now I'm listening to Mindless Eating: Why we eat more than we think by Bria...

Deboned! Well, where does the flavour come from then? The fat in the duck? Ew.

Ok, that's it. This is not your cheat meal. Tell Jeff he has to take you out for a cheat meal, as suggested by above wise women.

But what are the OTHER people bringing, Marie???? What are you bringing? If you're bringing brownies just park yourself in front of them and make a meal out of it.

That's a lot of books to catalogue!

But maybe things that other people bring will make up for it! I'd just have a sliver and just eat the turkey bit. I hate duck!

What's everyone else bringing?

Fun! I'm turning the ones I don't care about reading green. 1. The Da Vinci Code (Dan Brown) 2. Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen) 3. To Kill A Mockingbird (Harper Lee) 4. Gone With The Wind (Margaret Mitchell) (started it about 3 times) 5. The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (Tolkein) 6. The L...

I just finished Queen of the Big Time by Adriana Trigiani. I love her characters.

Now I'm on a completely different track with The Boyfriend from Hell by Avery Corman. He wrote Kramer vs. Kramer. It's good; I've never read any of his stuff before.

I just finished Milk Glass Moon by Adriana Trigiani. It's part of a series and I like her characters. Silvia, I picked up Leviathan when you first mentioned it, but I haven't read it yet. There's one more that's due at the library before that one-- One Mississippi by Mark Childress. I have no idea w...

Annie, have you ever tried maple syrup on cornbread muffins? REAL maple syrup, I mean?

BTW, we call them cornmeal muffins here, for all the dialect junkies out there.
