Pie!
This just looks like fun! Do people still make pie? I’ve never been much of a baker, preferring the inexact art of cooking vs. the exacting requirements of baking. There’s a nice review of the book over at Powell’s as well. Also, love the cover. Enjoy!
Writing In a Material World
Jed Perl has a great essay in The New Republic talking about how writers in the modern age of instant literary marketplaces may need to adjust. …how a writer chooses to negotiate the transition between the privacy of writing and the publicness of reading will ultimately determine what kind of a writer he or she [...]
Who Would You Get Rid Of?
I just read this terrific short story by Mike Resnick called, “Will the Last Person To Leave the Planet Please Shut Off the Sun?”, in which he describes a future world where groups of people are leaving earth en masse. It raises the question, who needs to leave to make people happy? I ask myself [...]

“French Women Dont Get Fat: The Secret of Eating For Pleasure” by Mireille Guiliano
[
][bookdetail]
There has been a bit of fuss in the media concerning this book, as the title is somewhat provacative. But it has more recipes than tips and the tips aren’t as useful as I had hoped.
The tips consist mostly of trade offs, just like most weight loss tips. If you have a large meal, cut back the next day. If you eat the bread, skip dessert and so forth. Nothing really new, but it is interesting reading.
My favorite tip was to shop for your food every day in a farmers’ market. How many of us could do that? If you were French, you would be working fewer hours and have better access to farm-fresh produce. As it is, I would like to go to farmers’ markets more often, but, alas, am not likely to be able to do so.
The recipes are above my head, more complicated than I can handle. But they look very good.
Overall, an interesting read.
