…and I finished the book.
I am now highly caffeinated, and deliciously taken away. It’s Sunday morning, the dawn of my weekend, and since the dogs push me out of the house very early in the day, I was able to brew up a bodum of dark coffee and settle under the covers with my new [...]

Another Good Book, and a Few Good Cookies
Tuesday, January 5, 2010
Five Quarters of the Orange by Joanne Harris is filled with food. I’ve never read (gasp!) Chocolat (yet!), but I imagine that it was also filled with food, although of the sweeter kind.

Sarah Thornton takes you through seven days in the art world, starting at a Christies’s auction in New York, to an MFA crit class at CalArts in L.A., The Turner Prize at the Tate Modern, to the New York [...]
