With menus for the four seasons, Miss Lewis (as she was almost universally known) shares the ways her family prepared and enjoyed food, savoring the delights of each special time of year.įrom the fresh taste of spring-the first wild mushrooms and field greens-to the feasts of summer-garden-ripe vegetables and fresh blackberry cobbler-and from the harvest of fall-baked country ham and roasted newly dug sweet potatoes-to the hearty fare of winter-stews, soups, and baked beans-Lewis sets down these marvelous dishes in loving detail. With a preface by Judith Jones and foreword by Alice Waters. She shows us how to recreate these timeless dishes in our own kitchens-using natural ingredients, embracing the seasons, and cultivating community. In this classic Southern cookbook, the “first lady of Southern cooking” (NPR) shares the seasonal recipes from a childhood spent in a small farming community settled by freed slaves.

Disappointingly, it lacks the skillful organization and power of Stickler's film. Overall, Rising Son is a likable, television quality documentary about a youth celebrity's misadventure, steep fall from grace and sobering redemption. Years later, in jail and at rock bottom, he finds his salvation in religion. Then, just as suddenly, trends change and Hosoi descends into the fathoms as he succumbs to a drug addiction. We watch as Hosoi's style-driven aerial acrobatics, exhibitionism and campy, vibrant-colored clothing make him an overnight celebrity and fashion icon. The film's subject, Christian Hosoi, is a flamboyantly charismatic skateboarder who captures the energy and youth spirit of early professional skateboarding. Rising Son, similar to Helen Stickler's 2002 documentary, "Stoked! The Rise and Fall of Gator", chronicles the meteoric rise and fall of a 1980s skateboarder, in yet another cautionary, VH1-esque tale about the dangers of fame. An enjoyable, albeit formulaic documentary of another fallen skateboard star from the 1980s. In 1873 the US Congress made it illegal to mail “obscene, lewd, or lascivious materials”-including any object designed for contraception or to induce abortion. Legislating access to birth control, sex education, and abortion is also not new. Others turned to methods that are still used in the twenty-first century, such as abstinence, condoms, and abortions. In some ancient societies, people turned to herbs or traditional rituals. Summary: Throughout history, men and women have always found ways to control reproduction.

Michel Faber's Under the Skin passes this test with ease, or should that be unease? Faber builds a credible thriller on what seems the shakiest of premises. * * The Week * * 'One measure of a book is its stickability, its ability to remain in the mind long after being read. * * Observer * * Under the Skin is a shocking and fantastical take on modern humanity. Recalling writers such as Jim Crace and Russell Hoban, Under the Skin, like Faber's short stories, is an extremely assured and imaginative work. * * Kate Atkinson * * brilliantly compressed drama of threat and ambiguity. * * Guardian * * A wonderful book - painful, lyrical, frightening, brilliant. This is a man who could give Conrad a run at writing the perfect sentence. * * Sunday Times * * The real triumph is Faber's restrained, almost opaque prose. * * Daily Telegraph * * Profound and disturbing. * * Independent on Sunday * * Tenses and prods the reader up a plethora of literary blind alleys before hauling them screaming towards its final, thrilling destination. Would that more first novels were as adventurous or as funky and daring in their conception. In many ways, this is the underlying theme of the story. He wakes up ‘to how sharp she was and how much wasted’. Norman is – well, normal – and he and the Queen develop a firm friendship. It’s a fascinating voyage of discovery and the Queen is ably assisted by young Norman who works in the kitchen. Queen Elizabeth 2015 Photo by Toby Melville/PA/ABACAPRESS.COM A NEW PASSION A week later, she borrows Nancy Mitford’s The Pursuit of Love and so begins her journey into the realm of books. It’s by Ivy Compton-Burnett and not an easy read, but the Queen’s upbringing compels her to finish it. One morning, while chasing her corgis, Her Majesty stumbles across the City of Westminster mobile library parked outside the palace kitchen. That may sound a bit odd – I mean, aren’t all books for readers? Sure, but this book is about Queen Elizabeth II and her unexpected (fictional) discovery of books. In many ways The Uncommon Reader is the perfect book for modern times. This book was previously titled Evolving in Monkey Town. In a changing cultural environment where new ideas seem to threaten the safety and security of the faith, Faith Unraveled is a profoundly moving, fearlessly honest, and relentlessly hopeful story of survival. Using as an illustration her own spiritual journey from certainty to doubt to faith, Evans challenges you to disentangle your faith from false fundamentals and to trust in a God who is big enough to handle your tough questions. I love books that help me see things I’d never noticed beforein life, in myself, in others, in the Bible, in Jesus. In order for her faith to survive, Rachel realizes, it must adapt to change and evolve. Rachel Held Evans, author of Evolving in Monkey Town and A Year of Biblical Womanhood ( excerpted from the Foreword) I love writers who are insightful enough to be cynical but choose not to be. In Faith Unraveled, Rachel recounts growing up in a culture obsessed with apologetics, struggling as her own faith unraveled one unexpected question at a time. From New York Times bestselling author Rachel Held Evans: a must-read for anyone on the journey of doubt, deconstruction, and ultimately faith reborn.Įighty years after the Scopes Monkey Trial made a spectacle of Christian fundamentalism and brought national attention to her hometown, Rachel Held Evans faced a trial of her own when she began to have doubts about her faith. |
