Good Afternoon my loves,
I have ever so enjoyed the recent posts on interesting literary tid-bits and thought I might have something to contribute!
My most recent read has been Half the Sky, New York Times op-ed columnist Nicholas Kristof and his wife's collaborative contribution to international women's health journalism. It was fun to read a best-seller that illustrates the work that I hope to be doing in the not so far future! Although not all of the information may be new to you, I think it is an important book for any globally minded woman to have in her library!
On a lighter note, I have become a huge fan of the blog 101cookbooks. Its a nice mix of wonderful whole food recipes with a homey feel and artsy fun. The best thing I have made from her recipe achieve thus far is the beautiful bulgar and spinach pilaf. It calls for caramelizing tomatoes in a chili and onions in Cinnamon and a tid-bit of brown sugar. I was curious as to how all of the flavors would meld together, but it was delicious!
I miss you all and cant wait for our next reunion. We should make sweet sweet love in a field of chocolate violets whilst eating ice cream.
xoxoxo, left-eye
I've got Half the Sky on my nightstand, waiting for me to find the time to read it. Glad to hear how much you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteOoh, have not picked up the book yet, but saw an independent documentary "Reporter" about Mr. Kristof last summer and really enjoyed it... then heard an interview with him on NPR's "On the Media," which was quite interesting... I'll have to pick it up!
