Book excerpt: Chewy The Woodchuck I found a book that was in my mothers, Joan B. Vinal's attic. It had been there for 45 yrs. It was filled with beautiful watercolors 17" tall and a wonderful story, on same size pages. It was a true story that she witnessed, painted and wrote to share with me Peter Vinal and my brother Drew Vinal when we were infants. It was about a resident woodchuck that became friends with a dog, that was owned by a family, that was renting a home next door for the summer. When the family packed up and went back home, the woodchuck sat at the end of the driveway for a few days waiting for the dog to come home. So when I found this awesome book in the attic I got inspired, so, I digitized it, reformatted it, and published it to give to her before she passed away. When I gave it to her, she got so emotional that she cried, I never saw her cry before.

Download or read book Beyond Flour written by Marie Porter and published by . This book was released on 2014-10-15 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How many times have you come across a gluten-free recipe claiming to be "just as good as the normal version!," only to find that the author must have had some skewed memories on what the "normal" version tasted, looked, and/or felt like? How many times have you felt the need to settle for food with weird after-taste, gummy consistency, or cardboard-like texture, convinced that this is your new lot in life? Most gluten-free recipes are developed by taking a "normal" recipe, and swapping in a simulated "all purpose" gluten-free flour... whether store bought, or a homemade version. "Beyond Flour" takes a bit of a different approach: developing the recipe from scratch. Rather than just swapping out the flour for an "all purpose" mix, Marie Porter uses various alternative flours as individual ingredients, and does NOT make use of any kind of all-purpose flour mix. Supporting ingredients and different techniques are also utilized to achieve the perfect end goal ... not just a "reasonable facsimile." Think about it: - Fresh pasta! Yes, you can have ravioli again - Gyoza too! - Homemade "Chinese takeout," BETTER than the real thing! - Deep dish pizza that's crispy outside & tender inside... like pizza is SUPPOSED to be! - Chewy, delicious cookies that *everyone* will want to eat! - Never having to present a dish with an apology for it being Gluten-Free. - Indulging some of your deepest, darkest guilty pleasure cravings... safely and joyously! Make no mistake - this is NOT a healthy cookbook. You will find yourself gorging on foods that you thought would never cross your lips again. You'll probably gain some weight, and you'll definitely need to learn how to defend your gluten-free food from invasion by your non-GF friends and family. (Well, or make enough for everyone!)

Book excerpt: From the Booker Prize winner and national bestselling author, reflections on gardening, art, literature, and life Penelope Lively takes up her key themes of time and memory, and her lifelong passions for art, literature, and gardening in this philosophical and poetic memoir. From the courtyards of her childhood home in Cairo to a family cottage in Somerset, to her own gardens in Oxford and London, Lively conducts an expert tour, taking us from Eden to Sissinghurst and into her own backyard, traversing the lives of writers like Virginia Woolf and Philip Larkin while imparting her own sly and spare wisdom.

Now in her eighty-fourth year, Lively muses, "To garden is to elide past, present, and future; it is a defiance of time."
