For September we read <a href="http://catalog.sno-isle.org/polaris/search/searchresults.aspx?ctx=1.1033.0.0.6&type=Keyword&term=provence%201970%20luke&by=KW&sort=RELEVANCE&limit=TOM=*&query=&page=0&searchid=2" target="_blank">Provence, 1970 : M.F.K. Fisher, Julia Child, James Beard, and the Reinvention of American Taste</a> by <a href="http://lukebarr.net/" target="_blank">Luke Barr</a>.<br />
<br />
We had mixed feelings about the book. About half the group finished reading it. People who liked it liked that it gave them further glimpses into the lives of foodies we have read about before (especially Julia and her adoring husband). Others felt the translation of the story from journals and letters felt a bit stilted. It was hard not to mirror some of MFK's frustrations, as she (and the book) did not bask in the sensual pleasures of French food as much as other times/books of this type. Overall, we felt this book was interesting enough, but really only hard core foodies could truly enjoy it, and it might have been better if we had read more of MFK's writing before reading this one.<br />

This month we read and discussed <a href="http://catalog.sno-isle.org/polaris/search/searchresults.aspx?ctx=1.1033.0.0.6&type=Keyword&term=Salt%20Sugar%20Fat:%20How%20the%20Food%20Giants%20Hooked%20Us&by=KW&sort=RELEVANCE&limit=TOM=*&query=&page=0&searchid=1" target="_blank">Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us</a> by <a href="http://www.michaelmossbooks.com/" target="_blank">Michael Moss</a>.<br />
<br />
Many of us were worried this would be too dry and boring a read, but it turned out to be quite enthralling. It really made us think about food from a marketing perspective, and how much crap is promoted for people to eat, simply because it will make companies more money. It really is disgusting how calculated this game plan is, and how deceptive. After reading this, it is really hard to look at any processed food without questioning what angle it is being sold from.<br />
<br />
Possibly the most impressive part of this book was how many whistle-blowers he dug up...there is so much guilt in this industry! It must have taken a ton of research to write this book, and he did a marvelous job of using the companies' own publications against them. <br />
<br />
We mostly brought things made with processed food this month, which was a fun idea, but did not make for a very satisfying meal unfortunately. Individually, there were many tasty things, but collectively it left most of us feeling a little ill.<br />
<br />
<br />
What did you bring this month?<br />

<a href="http://catalog.sno-isle.org/polaris/search/searchresults.aspx?ctx=1.1033.0.0.6&type=Keyword&term=Boat,%20A%20Whale%20%26%20a%20Walrus%20renee&by=KW&sort=RELEVANCE&limit=TOM=*&query=&page=0&searchid=4" target="_blank">A Boat, a Whale & a Walrus</a> by <a href="http://reneeerickson.com/" target="_blank">Renee Erickson</a>, was another book we were excited to explore due to its Northwest ties and local restaurant glamour.<br />
<br />
<b>What was your first impression of this book?
</b>Thought it was great…. loved the pictures! I love it. I like the local angle…a real hometown flavor and really liked how each season had key ingredients with bonus recipes. Normally just skim over parts without photos, but this was so good. Very trendy. She's got a real goldmine! Really like the format, with seasons.<br />
<br />
<b>What did you like about it? </b>Liked the pantry and supply list. Different kinds of salts. Loved ideas like the pickled lemon, great tips! Liked the backstories, such as the umbrellas. People wander in and become part of her circle, like the art teacher doing the book cover. Gives everyone credit…farms, photographers…so generous! Liked the connections between other authors we have read. Almost like a mini-series or soap opera.<br />
<br />
<b>Was there anything you disliked? </b> Too many specialized ingredients. Weirded out by recipe with the lining of the stomach. Too much monochromatic food (such as on p. 68 - herring butter toast).<br />
<br />
<b>Which part of the book made you drool?</b>
Everything, except sausage wrapped in caul fat.<br />
<br />
<b>What did you bring?</b><br />
<br />
Barbara - rice pudding cups.<br />

This month's report is from Katie S:<br />
<br />
For February we read “<a href="http://catalog.sno-isle.org/polaris/search/searchresults.aspx?ctx=1.1033.0.0.6&type=Keyword&term=Tattoos%20on%20the%20Heart:%20The%20Power%20of%20Boundless%20Compassion&by=KW&sort=RELEVANCE&limit=TOM=*&query=&page=0&searchid=2" target="_blank">Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion</a>” by Father Gregory Boyle. This book was universally loved by
all who read it. We were immediately interested in the stories, loved
his writing style, and moved by Father Boyle’s mission in life. This
book was a rollercoaster of quite tears, laughing out loud, and breaking
out in goose bumps.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pf5wsjTuLVY/VvTRW5-0YnI/AAAAAAAACyg/0VmAsfkhz3onQ5rcVt7QQoIjCPLELEWbg/s1600/the%2Bgroup%2Bfeasting.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pf5wsjTuLVY/VvTRW5-0YnI/AAAAAAAACyg/0VmAsfkhz3onQ5rcVt7QQoIjCPLELEWbg/s1600/the%2Bgroup%2Bfeasting.jpg" /></a>One think he brought to the forefront for
many of us was the little things in life that we all take for granted,
and how different our view of the world could be if we had a different
situations. One example illustrating this is the story of Father Boyle
and two “homies” going to Coco’s restaurant, a first restaurant
experience for the homies. It is difficult to contemplate reaching
adulthood and never eating at a restaurant that has menus and a
waitperson.<br />
<br />
Conversely, in the neighborhood and gang culture
Father Boyle lives and works within, going to jail, addiction issues,
and dying young are taken for granted. Our hearts broke at the story of
the teen girl who wanted to get pregnant right away so she could
experience being a mother before she died.<br />
<br />
While we found it
difficult at times that every success story ended in tragedy, we also
felt the stories were still successes because of the accomplishments and
changes individuals reached before tragedy struck.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BUL5b53gyEU/VvTUQ-H-3SI/AAAAAAAACzo/TAc4N3bhwBonZom9YdkevnoTIk5RWFddA/s1600/my%2Boverfilled%2Bplate.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BUL5b53gyEU/VvTUQ-H-3SI/AAAAAAAACzo/TAc4N3bhwBonZom9YdkevnoTIk5RWFddA/s1600/my%2Boverfilled%2Bplate.jpg" /></a>We were also
impressed with Father Boyle’s unwavering commitment to his life’s work.
He is quick to lend a hand, give a ride, or fork over a twenty for any
homie who asks. At the same time, he never deviated from his message of
non-violence and peaceful resolution.<br />
<br />
Only Laura had watched the
documentary (available at the library) and she reports that it takes
place after the book. I’m looking forward to that continuation of the
story. <br />
We all loved his frank and easy writing style, often funny, and the way he incorporated poetry to help illustrate points.<br />
<br />
We
veered off topic a bit to a broader compassion discussion, and
discussed the homelessness problem in Seattle and also our more suburban
neighborhoods. Katie’s school has an interesting program for 8th drags,
where they spend 3 days living as though homeless. She said it is
always interesting to see the personal growth they exhibit, and their
different takeaways from the experience. <br />
While they didn’t talk
about much in the mouthwatering food category, we still managed to piece
together one of our epic and delicious feasts.<br />

This month we shared the cookbook, My Paris Kitchen by <a href="http://www.davidlebovitz.com/">David Lebovitz</a>. And what a delight it was!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uIrskAqH1Ls/VsJcEztrWJI/AAAAAAAACwY/CU2c14-pUvk/s1600/IMG_0535.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uIrskAqH1Ls/VsJcEztrWJI/AAAAAAAACwY/CU2c14-pUvk/s320/IMG_0535.JPG" width="240" /></a>The group was delighted to do a cookbook for a change of pace, and were super excited for our potluck. The book itself was so beautiful...nobody wanted to return it to the library. Everyone loved the way he wrote...like he was in the room with you talking. "He makes everything sound easy." Folks were surprised how hilariously funny the book could be at times. We all wanted to go to the market with him, and be his friend. Loved the discussion about his sink, too. There was so much passion in this book, about food, people, and bringing folks together. And such great stories! Our favorites were about the rotisserie chickens ("I vowed to eat less chicken skin and skip the workouts. So far I've been good at keeping the later promise to myself, but not the other.") and the story about the onion tarts. And the photographs...everything in this book made us drool.<br />
<br />
The only thing people didn't like about this book was that we couldn't make it all! (Ok, a few people found some of the beef photos unappealing, and some had trouble not splattering the library books, too).<br />
<br />
I've said this before, but this was one of our best meals EVER.<br />

For March we are reading Tattoos on the Heart: the Power of Boundless Compassion by Father Gregory Boyle. (It is especially wonderful as an audiobook!) We will once again be meeting at Laura's house, and you are encouraged to bring some sort of Mexican food and/or baked goods!<br />

People seemed to have pretty mixed feelings on this one. This was a pretty heavy piece of literature, and many of us had trouble getting into it, and some had a hard time following it...especially during the war scenes. A family tree would have been helpful. Folks feel it picked up when it reached the castle, but it kept shifting gears, and sometimes felt like an altogether different story. That said, it would make a great HBO series.<br />
<br />
There were many things we did like about the book. Once hooked, many people enjoyed it. The illustrations were much enjoyed. Loved the quote "<span class="st">A Recipe is but the Promise of a Dish but a Dish is the Measure of its Cook." And the historical events were very well received, such as the king's entrance with all the fanfare, the details about the scullery, and the fascinating descriptions of worship (such as proving devotion by kneeling on pebbles). But it didn't romanticize things, you still got a heartbreaking portrait of Medieval times, mobs and bullies, and the suffering of the poor and the mentally ill.</span><br />
<br />
But there were also a lot of things people had trouble with, too. The descriptions could be interesting, but sometimes too much. The writing had abrupt transitions, and sometimes dropped int he middle of conversations. It was just to violent for some folks, and there was nothing drool-worthy in the food writing. And everyone was irritated by the jacket design. Having a cover flap on a paperback was really annoying...it kept getting in the way and wasn't suitable for a bookmark.<br />
<br />
Unlike the book, we had some wonderful food!<br />

The story is about a chef who is kidnapped by a pirate, who tells him she will keep him alive only as long as he can continue to surprise her with food.<br />
<br />
Overall, folks liked the book but had trouble finishing it in time for the meeting. We think this was because it is rich with long sentences, full of descriptions that beg you to linger...which requires more focus than most of us have during the holidays! But mostly we loved these description, the writing style, and how he talked about food ALL THE TIME. Some were reminded of The Princess Bride (<span class="st">"Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning."), but this isn't a bad thing. The boat setting was refreshing and fun, and folks were entranced by how they talked about the sky. Those of us who have been at sea (if cruise ships count) can totally relate.</span><br />
<span class="st"><br /></span>
<span class="st">Owen was a bit of a twit in the beginning, but he became more likable as the book went on, and he began to see things in a more nuanced manner. We were also won over by his creativity and resourcefulness, his passion for food, the way he made friends using food, how he was gleeful and excited to try new things (such as lemongrass and miso), and especially how he lovingly carried his little baby bread dough with him. An especially appreciated scene was when he talked about the monks who trained and raised him, particularly when he talks about the chickpea stew, which reminded us of our own comforting food memories.</span><br />
<br />
The only dark spots for our group (aside from the pacing) was some surprise about how violent the book is (though it is pirates after all), and what a horrible life poor Mabbot suffered through.<br />
<br />
There were so many droll worthy moments in this book (aside from her outfit on the cover), but the pheasant, ravioli, and savory griddle cakes with pounded onions and slices of pickled herring (which inspired Katie S. to make oniony Korean pancakes).<br />
<br />
We had a lovely feast and cookie exchange, as always:<br />
<br />

This month we shared <a href="http://catalog.sno-isle.org/polaris/search/searchresults.aspx?ctx=1.1033.0.0.6&type=Keyword&term=Little%20Century%20Anna%20Keesey&by=KW&sort=RELEVANCE&limit=TOM=*&query=&page=0&searchid=1">Little Century</a> by <a href="http://annakeesey.com/">Anna Keesey</a>, the story of an orphaned teen who moves out to Eastern Oregon to to live on her cousin's ranch.<br />
<br />
Overall, we really liked this, finding it historically quite interesting, surprisingly evocative and occasionally sensual. We really liked the way she wrote, how she would give you a taste of a scene, but leave you hanging, wanting more. This could be a little frustrating at times, not all of us were happy with the ending, but overall it was used to good effect.<br />
<br />
The setting may have been the start of the book, but the characters were very intriguing, too. We loved Joe, and how people got absorbed into him. How Esther writes letters to her dear departed mother, and how healing that must have been. And the love story between Esther and Ben had a nice pacing, and sweetness...and was a bit sexy, if barely exposed. We felt the real villain of the story was Violet...the nerve of that woman reading other people's mail...and even worst holding it back or sharing it with others.<br />
<br />
There was so much room for escalation in the story, but it rarely reached the heights it could have...making it feel more realistic, and keeping an underlying intensity that moved the story forward most pleasantly.<br />
<br />
Last but not least, we loved the term "buckaroos", which made us smile over and over again.<br />
<br />
Our meal was, as usually, nicely balanced and delicious.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Where has the time gone? September went by too fast!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Last month we read <a href="http://catalog.sno-isle.org/polaris/search/searchresults.aspx?ctx=1.1033.0.0.6&type=Keyword&term=telling%20room%20cheese&by=KW&sort=RELEVANCE&limit=TOM=*&query=&page=0&searchid=3">The Telling Room a Tale of Love, Betrayal, Revenge and the World's Greatest Piece of Cheese</a> by <a href="https://twitter.com/mikepaterniti">Michael Paterniti</a>. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This was not our favorite book, despite high hopes (since we love cheese). Some folks found it tedious and uninteresting, and couldn't figure out where it was going. The people who enjoyed it most seemed to be those who skipped the footnotes (that went on forever), although there were a few great asides here and there.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">What we appreciated about the book, was the romance of leaving America to live off the land, free of conveniences. The characters, food, and deli chapter were likable. Liked the stories, such as the old woman who walked a far distance every day just to spit on her enemy's grave. (I wanted to know more about the assassin known as The Freckle...she sounded much more interesting them some grouchy old cheese maker.) </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> We especially enjoyed the passion of the Spanish people, the crazy folk sayings (I shit in the milk of God), and references to Slow Food movement. The cheese descriptions were divine, as were those of local wine and sausage. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Overall, there were too many distracting footnotes. It felt too long winded, as though he was trying to stretch a magazine article into a book. One reader said: "The book was like a bad date. The food was great, but I couldn't wait for the author to shut up."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We didn't have a big group, but we did have a good meal:</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">For August we deviated from our usual summer light kids book, and went with a local author instead and read <a href="http://catalog.sno-isle.org/polaris/search/title.aspx?ctx=1.1033.0.0.6&cn=700843" target="_blank">Delancey</a> by <a href="http://orangette.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Molly Wizenberg</a>. We had previously read Molly's first book <a href="http://catalog.sno-isle.org/polaris/search/title.aspx?ctx=1.1033.0.0.6&cn=187363" target="_blank">A Homemade Life</a>, back in<a href="http://foodiebookgrhttp//foodiebookgroup.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.htmloup.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html" target="_blank"> September of 2011</a>.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">While overall we enjoyed this book, a few people liked the first book better...but everyone though the food was simply wonderful. It was a good story of starting a restaurant (and how "freaking hard it is"), but we felt she was kind of rough on herself. She was doing just fine, but considered herself a failure, and really didn't give herself enough credit. After reading these two books, some of us really feel like we know her, which must be really strange when you meet people.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">We really loved the recipes, plus all the restaurants she mentioned. It was fun to be able to say "</span><span style="font-size: small;">whoa-hoa! I've been there!"</span><span style="font-size: small;"> But we really admired her honesty in this book. It is hard to </span><span style="font-size: small;">support
someone who keeps changing their dreams. And she was very </span><span style="font-size: small;">realistic about their
struggle and how tough it was…especially hiring good people. It was hilarious how obsessed they both became with their projects "Blah blah blah book tour,
blah blah blah restaurant" was something many of us could relate to. Thank goodness they found such a great w</span><span style="font-size: small;">eb of friends, and terrific network of support.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Kyip5g6Az0M/Vd97eFZCLnI/AAAAAAAACg8/jrdXaWjZ7AU/s1600/20150812_185322.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Kyip5g6Az0M/Vd97eFZCLnI/AAAAAAAACg8/jrdXaWjZ7AU/s320/20150812_185322.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-size: small;">While we liked it overall, some of us were left wanting more. Not sure
what…didn't scratch the itch the first one did. Some people though maybe it was like she was
writing a book to get to the end. And sometimes the pacing was uneven…some parts
felt rushed and others dragged out. </span><span style="font-size: small;">The
first book had more sadness and tragedy, so perhaps it felt deeper by comparison.</span></span><br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">But it totally passed our "made you drool" test. All that pizza. Every single recipe! </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">As always, we had a delightful feast this month...partially thanks to Molly's wonderful recipes!</span></span><br />

This month almost all of us (except for your humble scribe and librarian) read Plain and Simple: A Woman's Journey to the Amish by Sue Bender.<br />
<br />
The group seemed pretty split on this book. Some of us could really identify with her falling in love with the quilt and wanting to get to know the culture more, and thought it was courageous that she was open to learning and might want to work in Amish country ourselves, at least for a week or two. People liked learning about the Amish and found the book easy to read, nicely spaced and enjoyed the summaries and cute little pictures.<br />
<br />
However, the other half of the group didn't like her as a narrator, and found her to be judgmental, shallow, and too concerned with being an Artist. What was so wrong with her that she needed to escape from her life? Tormented artist, or overachiever world getting her down? The problem with people talking about their spiritual journeys, is that "other people's spiritual journeys are boring." Plus she romanticized the Amish, wanting them to conform to her stereotypes. At least they helped her learn to stop trying to stand out so much and just be with everyone and enjoy life. But it was too bad she didn't try to incorporate any of what she learned into her art.<br />
<br />
People were also mixed on the dolls, which some thought were cool, others creepy. Everyone agreed that there was nothing droolworthy in this book, she barely talked about food at all.<br />
<br />

Katie S. brought some relevant cookbooks to share:<br />

<br />
<i>The daughter <span class="nsm-hit-text">of</span> a Coney Island boardwalk curiosities <span class="nsm-hit-text">museum</span>'s
front man pursues an impassioned love affair with a Russian immigrant
photographer who after fleeing his Lower East Side Orthodox community
has captured poignant images <span class="nsm-hit-text">of</span> the infamous Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. </i><br />
<br />
We were a bit split on this book. Most of us really loved this NYC history this book explored, and appreciated that it featured a freak show, but wasn't mean or trying to scandalize the readers (unlike Geek Love by Kathrine Dunn, which one person in the group had recently read (and I adore - DMR)).<i> </i>The exploration of social injustice was really fascinating, and still rings true today, but also reminded us of when we read The Kitchen House, and how so many of the characters were slaves to the society they live in and the roles they inhabit.<br />
<br />
At least one person felt this was their favorite book we have shared, and many agreed the author is terrific. However, those of us who listened to the audiobook felt that it revealed some flaws in the writing that readers did not seem to feel, perhaps brought out by the sometimes confusing trifecta of narrators (it was often unclear the difference between the Coralie's perspective and the overall narrator) and some repetition in the recalling of the plot that seemed unnecessary and distracting.<br />
<br />
While this book was overall some pretty serious literature, it was the lighter spots that endeared it to us, such as the love between Eddie and his dog, the fashionable and heavy set "wizard", and many of the descriptions of old Brooklyn and clothing of the day. The food was rarely appetizing, alas.<br />
<br />
Katie had a favorite line that resonates the spirit of the book so nicely: "He raised his eyes, as if I was a stranger. And in fact, I was." This book explores strangeness in many forms, but especially the strangeness we encounter in ourselves when the expectations of the world confound us and we seek to make new ways of living.<br />
<br />
Dinner was lovely, as always:<br />

This month we read An Edible History of Humanity by Tom Standage. This was a bit drier fare than what we usual read and only a few people finished it. But for those of us who persevered, we were rewarded with all kinds of interesting information.<br />
<br />
There were so many fascinating tidbits in here. Food cultivation has played such a big part in shaping civilization...everything to where we can live to how we wage wars. We were especially intrigued by how hunter-gatherers enforced food sharing, and used humiliation techniques to keep equality and the group first. And how some groups were so wary of obligation, that giving lavish gifts was frowned upon, but in other cultures this was expected and built upon.<br />
<br />
Also of particular interest, was the history of the potato in France, and how royalty tried to encourage its popularity by wearing its flowers, serving it at feasts, and "guarding" the fields to make it look more desirable. <br />
<br />
Another section that was really interesting is when the author challenged the concept of localvore diets superiority. Food miles are not always a good indicator of carbon load. We were really suprised to learn that lamb grown in New Zealand has lower carbon load even if shipped across the world, due to grass fed, unlike local lambs that are fed processed feed.
Potato carbon footprint varies more depending if you cover the pan more than how far it travels!<br />
<br />
One phrase that really resonates to day is "competition for resources tends to encourage over-exploitation." We really seem to be taking this to extremes, and it is only slightly reassuring that the author thinks world population will cap out in the next 100 year.<br />
<br />
One last thing we talked about was the <a href="http://buynothingproject.org/" target="_blank">Buy Nothing Project</a>, which is made up of Facebook groups all over the place, that people can join and share things they don't need...everything from furniture to leftover cookies! You can find a group near you <a href="http://buynothingproject.org/find-a-group/#WA" target="_blank">here</a>!<br />
<br />
As always, we had a wonderful meal:<br />

Next month we will be discussing The Museum of Extraordinary Things by Alice Hoffman. It takes place in Coney Island between the years 1911-1925. No sure what we are going to eat yet, but I expect there will be hot dogs!<br />
<br />
Extra copies are available at the Mountlake Terrace Library.<br />
<br />
See you soon,<br />

This one had some pretty mixed reactions. A few people really liked it and found the author very easy relate to. Others had trouble connecting with her, and didn't find the food writing as appetizing as would have been hoped from the title. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-62v0x5_mZLU/VSbPvGgWQgI/AAAAAAAACVU/tLCqz3ltt5w/s1600/IMG_3420.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-62v0x5_mZLU/VSbPvGgWQgI/AAAAAAAACVU/tLCqz3ltt5w/s1600/IMG_3420.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
Our first impressions of the book were also mixed. While more than one person said they could barely set it down and read it in just a few days, others found it to be a tougher read. The prologue definitely drew everyone in, seemingly starting out with they typical foodie memoir scene of a small child savoring a tasty treat...then the trauma starts. This had some of us "clenching my jaws" and feeling sorry for her, while others found her treatment enigmatic with lots of foreshadowing. But this foreshadowing didn't always lead anywhere, and while she confesses a lot, there weren't enough details to draw everyone in.<br />
<br />
When Christensen does go heavy on the details, that is where we really responded. Her writing could be really fun, such as on page 40 where she talks about being an omnivore and a glutton. The explanation of the blue plate special was really well received, as was how she used food for comfort. Many members related to her descriptions of hippie and/or space food from their own childhoods. And the shoplifting scene was a guilty pleasure read for many.<br />
<br />
But despite some solid writing, the majority of us seemed uncomfortable with this book. The author seemed conflicted about everything, and often this read more as therapy notes than an engaging sharing. Her relationship with food was so out of balance. She claimed to get pleasure from it, but would put herself on horrible diets at the drop of a hat. Most troubling of all, was a perceived lack of empathy for others seen in so many parts of the book.<br />
<br />
The food descriptions in the book were occasionally drool-worthy (the soft-boiled eggs of the opening, and when she travels to Mexico, France and Italy), but not consistently appetizing, reflecting her uncomfortable relationship with it at various points.<br />

This month we read<a href="http://catalog.sno-isle.org/polaris/search/title.aspx?ctx=1.1033.0.0.6&cn=245292" target="_blank"> The Dirty Life: On Farming, Food, and Love</a> by <a href="http://www.kristinkimball.com/" target="_blank">Kristin Kimball</a>, the story of a NYC writer who falls in love with a single minded farmer determined to live off the land and create a single source CSA. We had a wonderful turnout of thirteen people and just barely fit in Mad's craft room.<br />
<br />
Overall, we found lots to love here. There was some concern that this would be just another city "girl goes to the country" book, with the usual disastrous results. But we were all impressed how she didn't just show up, but really put her heart into embracing the hard work of farming. It felt much more authentic than the Pioneer Woman book we previously read. When you read about tiny Kristin struggling with the huge horses, with big clumps of earth flying everywhere, you knew she was devoted and not taking the easy way out. <br />
<br />
Some of the things we enjoyed most about this book, were the surprises along the way. The contrast of her helping kill a hog in an Agnes B. blouse, could have been the path to disaster, but instead really symbolized how she was the rare New Yorker who could give up her big city ways and sink her roots into the farm earth. Adored the story of her seeking out mean cats to deal with rats. Also great, was how she embraced the local community, and learned their ways. We especially loved the non-conversational visitors who would literally just hang out. Best of all, we felt like we learned a lot reading this book (of course we all already knew that bacon is the gateway meat away from vegetarianism).<br />
<br />
Her relationship with her sweetie was fascinating to us. The way he put her off completely the first time they met, only to decide he would marry her once they actually spent a little time together. We loved how his (sexy) unwavering vision helped her to let go and embrace the experience fully. And his magic circle was pretty amazing...particularly with the baby bull whose botched castration paid big time. <br />
<br />
Our only frustrations were there were not enough pictures, and not enough recipes. There were some places more elaboration would have been nice but over there was great details.<br />
<br />
Much of the book was drool-worthy, but the scene that really stood out was when they took over Thanksgiving dinner at her parent's house. Mmmm.<br />

This month we read The Hundred Foot Journey by Richard C. Morais. This was a sumptuous book, packed full of amazing food descriptions, but alas, no recipes.<br />
<br />
Most of the group found the book delightful overall, although they were uncertain where it was going at first. Morais is a "wonderful, descriptive writer", whose writing one reader found beautiful but "too much like a fairytale". Another was reminded why she does not want to visit India, as she "could not handle the filth and poverty".<br />
<br />
Our favorite parts of the book were the gorgeous descriptions of the French countryside and India...one reader felt this read like "a set of travel snapshots" (although another felt the book was like a "bunch of magazines stories squashed together"). The hard core foodies amoungst us loved the section with the foodcart, and the porchini mushroom festival the family visits on their European tour. But also appreciated were the interesting relationships in the book, and getting the perspective of what might be the driving force behind non-Americans.<br />
<br />
What people disliked a variety of small things about this book. They were frustrated that the relationship between the main character and his sister never really developed. That the pacing felt inconsistent (perhaps the author's journalist background lead to this?) Opposing viewpoints in the group held that it was too much like a fairytale, where another wanted it to be a true story. Another found the butchering descriptions far to realistic and frequent. There was much frustration expressed towards Madame Mallory...from her only eating at the restaurant once, to the amount of control she had over the town, and that she was responsible for almost killing the kid, but faced no charges.<br />
<br />
There were many drool-worthy passages in this book, with tons of appetizing descriptions on practically every page. But the memorial dinner for his friend Paul really stuck out in people's minds.<br />
<br />
Our own feast was just lovely this month! The desserts were particularly exceptional.<br />

Kimball was living life as an adventure. But she was beginning to feel a
sense of longing for a family and for home. When she interviewed a
dynamic young farmer, her world changed. Kristin knew nothing about
growing vegetables, let alone raising pigs and cattle and driving
horses. But on an impulse, smitten, if not yet in love, she shed her
city self and moved to five hundred acres near Lake Champlain to start a
new farm with him.</i></span><br />

<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br />
This book received an overall strong positive response from the group. Most found it to be a very enjoyable, and fairly fast read. While it could be very sad at times, the honesty of the book insured that it really hit home, and was very relatable. And the group liked that everything was not neatly resolved at the end, making it feel even more real.</div>
<br />
<br />
We were especially taken with the mother-daughter relationship, and how they were able to use cooking to heal their relationship. The collecting of the recipes was something we really like, and Katie W. did just this when her kids became adults, so they could have the family flavors as a continuing part of their lives. It was great to see a character (the dad) who did math just for pure enjoyment. But best of all was the pure human qualities that came through, and how well you could relate to the family, even if yours was Mexican American, or pure mutt.<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText">

What we didn't like was how the father treated the mother. We were unsure how much of this was cultural, if he was trying to keep everything looking as normal as possible, or if he was just a jerk. Or was this the author giving an exaggerated generational perspective? It was also frustrating when the son tried jumping in on the cookbook, with an eye to profit, almost ruining the beautiful thing his sister and mother were creating. Clearly some part of him wanted to be included and celebrate their achievements, but the way in which he handled it was very heavy handed and a bit selfish. Last of all, not everyone was up for a cancer book :(<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br />
While this worked as a foodie book, there wasn't a ton of drool worthy moments. Ghee melting on roti was tasty sounding, and the first feast the mom and daughter made together was mouthwatering. But otherwise the food descriptions were not tantalizing. But perhaps that was part of the tragedy of the mother's illness?</div>
Happily, our meal was quite delicious:<br />

Most of our bookclub copies were checked out at the meeting, but I was able to dig up a few more...so if you go soon there should be a few copies left at the Mountlake Terrace Library!<br />

This wasn't a foodie book, per say, but there was a ton of food reference in the book, so it was no problem for us to come up with a great potluck.<br />
<br />
A few people really liked this book, but many of us found it hard to read, despite it being very compelling. Those who liked it were very interested in the question "how far would you go to protect your child", but those of us who didn't like it found the characters to dislikable and the plot disturbing. We talked about nurture vs. nature, and the difference between people who are psychopaths or mentally ill, and choices that people make that are just plain bad or maybe even evil.<br />
<br />
This book has been compared to Gone Girl a lot, but those who had read both, didn't really see it. They both have some twists, but this book had more psychotic behavior, while Gone Girl has more "average douche-baggery". However, the author of Gone Girl writes about women in a dark way that is unusual and more nuanced that you usually find, so it sounds worth reading.<br />

actual celery. And instead of tossing it with the baby greens I scooped it into
the little romaine leaves. I think there is a lot of room for improvising. The
dressing was really good, I'm happy to say I have a little left over for later
this week.)<br />

This month we had a great discussion (and even greater feast) around The Orchardist by Amanda Coplin. We hoped at a minimum we could make a meal around apples and apricots, but the book proved to be full of all kinds of inspiring food.<br />
<br />
Overall people seemed to enjoy reading the book, but found it a bit depressing. It was hard to read all the passages with child abuse (there was true worry the baby would be made into a sex slave), and sad that Della never bonded with the baby. And it was strange when she checked herself into jail, we concluded between the abuse and the near-hanging, she had sustained both emotional and brain damage. Most of all people were frustrated that we never found out what happened to his sister...while it was agreed this did make the book all the more realistic and tragic, and did explain his actions in defense of lost Della, it made it feel like a presented mystery had no resolution. <br />
<br />
But there were also many moments of lightness and beauty, such as this delightful quote Katie S. shared with us:<br />
<br />

<br />
There was lots to love in this book. The trip to the The Peninsula was lovely. Some of us appreciated how as a cobbled together family, everyone in the book had so much space. We really loved the writing, and the melancholy tone. The pacing was nice and steady, though slow.
Being Washingtonians, we really enjoyed the references to local towns, and the setting in general. The descriptions of the orchard were so vivid and full of life. And we drooled over the crab chowder description, and that of the Christmas dinner with rabbit and chestnut dressing.<br />
<br />
Random quote of the evening: "Cell phones don't protect you from bears." <br />
<br />
<br />
The food was SO good this month. Really one of our best feasts!<br />

Next month's book is <a href="http://catalog.sno-isle.org/polaris/search/title.aspx?ctx=1.1033.0.0.6&cn=586121" target="_blank">The Dinner</a> by Herman Koch. <br />

fashionable restaurant for dinner. Between mouthfuls of food and over
the polite scrapings of cutlery, the conversation remains a gentle hum
of polite discourse -- the banality of work, the triviality of the
holidays. But behind the empty words, terrible things need to be said,
and with every forced smile and every new course, the knives are being
sharpened.</i><br />

For
our September meeting we read <a href="http://catalog.sno-isle.org/polaris/search/title.aspx?ctx=1.1033.0.0.6&cn=604190" target="_blank">Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal</a> by <a href="http://www.maryroach.net/" target="_blank">Mary Roach</a>. Ah yes, just another meeting of prim ladies enjoying a potluck while
discussing super colons, fecal transplants, and fart capturing bloomers.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
Actually,
we decided to feast and then talk – but with such ample discussion material it
was difficult. We were ultimately unable to control ourselves, broke our own
rule, and talked about the book while we ate. It turns out there is tons of
information inspired by and in Gulp that is perfectly acceptable dinner
conversation. Like how sad we all are to hear <a href="http://theeroticbakery.com/" target="_blank">The Erotic Bakery</a> in Wallingford
is closing after 28 years, and the cleaning/healing powers of saliva.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
Overall,
everyone enjoyed the book. A couple people thought she sometimes got a little
too deep into the science of particular topics, while a couple others loved the
detailed explanations. Many of us are excited to read the author’s other
books, and we all want to attend a dinner party with her. We’d like to know
more about her, what her degree is in and how she came to write the types of
books she does. We all appreciated her writing style, and how she told the
story in a way that was easy to read.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
We
were charmed by the description of the dog smelling his way through The Napa
Valley with its head out the car window. It was a surprise to learn the
behavior is about smells, not just the joy of wind in your face. It makes me
want to bump the documentary <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0208570/" target="_blank">Why Dogs Smile and Chimpanzees Cry</a> up in my
Netflix queue, to see what else I’ve misinterpreted. </div>

was a fairly lengthy discussion on prison food, and the prison system in
general. I am extra happy to report that Bobbie’s “Nutraloaf” was not a literal
interpretation of the dish, but actually delicious meatloaf balls in hash brown
nests. Julie just finished <a href="http://catalog.sno-isle.org/polaris/search/title.aspx?ctx=1.1033.0.0.6&cn=225862" target="_blank">Orange is the New Black</a> by <a href="http://piperkerman.com/" target="_blank">Piper Kerman</a> and
reported the food described within was indeed grim. (Which doesn’t explain the
<a href="http://catalog.sno-isle.org/polaris/search/title.aspx?ctx=1.1033.0.0.6&cn=714378" target="_blank">Orange is the New Black cookbook</a> that turned up in my Amazon search.) We moved
on from the food to the general hopelessness of the US prison system and each
have different ideas about how to break the cycle of poverty and imprisonment.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
It
was a surprised to learn how early in life you learn your life-long eating
habits. It was fun to reminisce as a group about our childhoods, and the way
our mothers and families taught us about food. It is interesting to note
how different our stories and histories are, yet we have come together as a
group and forged friendships over our shared zeal for food and reading. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
Which
brings me to the food. Once again, we had a marvelous feast. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

wine!</div>

brought her European sweet & sour pork with decadent mashed potatoes. And
yes, those were frankfurters in the bottom of the potato dish.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
Bobbie
brought a notably delicious interpretation of Neutraloaf – meatloaf balls in
hash brown nests.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
Mad
brought Paul’s famous for a reason potato salad, and Almond Roca. The Almond
Roca was a great stand-in for the chocolate covered bananas. You all know why,
I don’t have to say it.</div>

Awesome notes Katie! You might have a new job ;)<br />

Next month we will be discussing <a href="http://catalog.sno-isle.org/polaris/search/title.aspx?ctx=1.1033.0.0.6&cn=474553" target="_blank">The Orchardist </a>by <a href="http://amandacoplin.com/" target="_blank">Amanda Coplin</a>.

<br />
<br />
The group was overall pleasantly surprised by this book. Not everyone had read a graphic novel before, but happily liked it more than they expected. Some thought from the cover it was going to be a kids book. But everyone really seemed to like it, especially Lucy's tone, and her great talent for combining her writing and illustration abilities.
<br />
<br />
Favorite bits:
<br />
<ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>picture of her drinking vinegar with her dad.</li>
<li>the relationship she has with her folks, and their friendly divorced relationship.</li>
<li>A light and easy read.</li>
<li>Wanted it to last longer. </li>
<li>Loved how the recipes were illustrated. </li>
<li>Travels to Japan and trying out interesting foods. </li>
<li> Wish all cookbooks had this many illustrations. </li>
<li> Great humor...little details. Such as Mexico. Drew's little sister - quite the lady.</li>
<li> Hereditary cheese lovin' </li>
</ul>

The only thing folks seemed to actually dislike, was that there weren't more recipes! <br />
<br />
Katie S. recommended picking up Lucy's travelog <a href="http://catalog.sno-isle.org/polaris/search/title.aspx?ctx=1.1033.0.0.6&cn=178532" target="_blank">French Milk</a>, about a trip she took to Paris with her mom.<br />

This book is lots of fun and focuses a little bit on food, but a lot more on digestion. Katie S. will be leading the group, as Dawn has a work conflict.<br />

</xml><![endif]--><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">This month we shared <a href="http://catalog.sno-isle.org/polaris/search/title.aspx?ctx=1.1033.0.0.6&cn=220049">The Kitchen House</a> by <a href="http://www.kathleengrissom.com/">Kathleen Grissom</a>, a historical fiction about an Irish orphan raised with the slaves in a plantation kitchen house in the old South.</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Overall the group loved the book. It was a real page turner with lots of action, drama, and emotional content. But what a terrible time and place to be a woman! Even the wealthiest white women had a serious lack of choices and power in this story. It reminded everyone how hard change is to actually get into action...that for the dis-empowered, standing up to institutions can be mortally dangerous. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://catalog.sno-isle.org/polaris/search/title.aspx?ctx=1.1033.0.0.6&cn=655537" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Get Kindred from Sno-Isle Libraries" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fRcMBn1EDCI/U8_sK4RLoeI/AAAAAAAAB7g/xArCeMWXLcc/s1600/kindred.jpg" /></a>A suggested companion read for this book is the time-travel story <a href="http://catalog.sno-isle.org/polaris/search/title.aspx?ctx=1.1033.0.0.6&cn=655537" target="_blank">Kindred</a> by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octavia_E._Butler" target="_blank">Octavia Butler,</a> which is a good reminder of how even with contemporary attitudes and education, a woman brought back to this time would be in a hard place indeed.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Some of us also felt that Kitchen House was a reminder that
we are losing the art of letter-writing, and the personal documentation that goes with this. Without such letters <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Lady-Savannah-The-Life-Juliette/dp/0884411478">Lady from Savannah</a> (the Juliet
Lowe story, recommended by Madeline), could never have been written.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">There were some frustrations with the book. How could Livinia be so naive? How could she not know more than she did? It seemed unrealistic. Marshall's death was surprisingly violent, but at that point the author must have been ready to be well and done with him! Rankin was so slimy and hateful...more of a caricature of a bad guy, or was he realistic for someone who would take on that job?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">We debated if Marshall killed Lavinia's first fiance, who killed Rankin, and how could no one smell the tutor in the outhouse. Also, would Lavinia have really transitioned from the kitchen house, to schooling, to living in a big house so easily? It seems like there should have been more struggles in that process.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">We really wanted for things to work out for poor Will, and were impressed by how Lucy developed as a character.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The last thing we discussed was how i</span><span style="font-size: small;">nstitutionalization
used to be so HUGE in America, with anyone blind, deaf, mentally ill or slow was simply locked away. Dawn highly recommends <a href="http://catalog.sno-isle.org/polaris/search/title.aspx?ctx=1.1033.0.0.6&cn=297088" target="_blank">The Story of Beautiful Girl</a> by Rachel Simon to get a feel for this sad era of our history.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">As usual, the food was a delightful feast. </span></span><br />

I'm sorry I had to miss the meeting due to tummy trouble, Katie S. was kind enough to take pictures and Heather took notes for our blog post:</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
"What a nice meeting this one was, even without our fearless leader Ms.
Dawn who caught the 24 hour bug from her friend Rachel. She was the
designated last-minute key holder and got stuck in the snarl we call
Queen Anne and the corridor.
She came frazzled and apologetic, we kindly dismissed her fears away
because we were no fools, we'd been munching on Laura's delicious cheese
plate with a cheese I'd never even heard of before, something like
Drunken Goat
Who Stare at Men or something wasn't it it guys? LOL<br />
The cheese and grape munchers consisted this time of the hard care
foodies and we all know who we are: Me Heather M., Katie S. and her
co-worker Barb from the print center, and young mom Laura, who loves
eating with just all grown-ups once a month. Special
ed. teacher Sonja was able to come this time with good news: she
transferred to her son's school, where they can commute by walking
together every day the 2 blocks each way.<br />
<br />
We all trooped in when Rachel arrived with the key and within minutes
had plates full of Vietnamese Salt and Pepper wings with a dipping salt
you mixed with fresh lime to get the whole experience. To complement
that, I had the night before cooked one of my
daughter vegetarian mainstays, grains with vegies from T.J.'s. I
cooked it in vegie broth to juice it up a little. We had a delicious
salad,( as we know the word came from the Roman word for "salted")
pickles, a cured meat tray with 4 offerings and three
kinds of yummy crackers. Sonja brought wine and another bottle appeared
out of nowhere, I didn't catch who brought it. Desserts were of course,
assorted chocolate items with salt!<br />
<br />
Six thumbs up for the book "Salt" A World History by Jack Kurlansky who
not only is a meticulous researcher/writer he must edit a lot of
articles, either that or he single-handedly wrote 26 books. Geesh, does
this guy have time for a life?<br />
<br />
Only one dedicated reader (Barbara) finished the entire book, of those
who hadn't we all said we would. It's chockful of fascinating historical
facts, humorous illustrations and well laid out chapters. It's a book
one wants to own for reference, just to have on the shelf for solving arguments and such. In fact it was on Laura's shelf, she didn't have to check it out! Our next book will be the Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom. Expect a feast of southern food in July, signing off,<br />
Heather McNair."<br />
