Book excerpt: TALKING WITH THE DOGS is a story of a famous veterinarian who suddenly finds himself able to converse with dogs due to an unusual quirk of fate that happened a few months earlier at the Westminster Dog Show in New York. In this book, Dr. Zebulon is back in his veterinary hospital in a small college town, Chapel Hill, North Carolina. He continues with his ability to speak with dogs and understand what they are saying to him. During the book, we undergo the trials and tribulations of a working veterinarian in his everyday practice, dealing with all kinds of people and their dogs. It is a thorough book about the interrelationship between dogs and their human companions. An ardent client, Mary Burke, sends Dr. Zebulon an amulet she purchased in an Irish folk market. There is an Irish belief that anyone who wears this shamrock will be able to understand dog vernacular for as long as they wear it. His ability to speak with dogs is assured now. His girl friend is Sallie Predino. They became lovers at the Westminster Dog Show in New York a few months earlier. They continue their relationship in this book, become deeply involved romantically and move in with each other while they combat an evil man, Matt Dye. A restaurant owner, he is also a narcotics smuggler and drug dealer who raises dogs as a hobby. He also owns a sporting house for gentlemen where he keeps women under the influence of drugs so that they will work for him. Matt Dye desperately tries to acquire Sallie's dog because it is an outstanding specimen of a rare and expensive breed. He wants to exhibit her in dog shows and raise puppies from her for large fees. He uses all kinds of illicit methods to get this dog, and especially Voodoo, since he spent some time in Jamaica and brought back an Obeah man a voodoo specialist, to cast evil spells on any of Matt's opponents. Many types of voodoo techniques are discussed in the book. The reader accompanies Dr. Zebulon through his daily chores inside the veterinary hospital, along with his ever-present companion, Bridget McGuire. She is an Irish Setter who gives her beloved owner, Dr. Zebulon, canine advice and words of wisdom throughout the book. However, Bridget becomes very jealous of his newly found love, Sallie, and Zebulon finds himself the center of attraction as the two females wrangle for his affection. Yes, jealousy is a very strong emotion in dogs, as well as people. Lots of mystery and intrigue is unfolded as the evil man tries all of his voodoo rituals on Sallie and Dr. Zebulon in order to obtain that valuable Shar Pei dog. Eventually the police and FBI obtain evidence against Matt Dye and his illicit enterprises. Fortunately, with the help of one of Matt's rebellious dogs, Jimmy Wang, justice overcomes evil and the supernatural powers of voodoo.

Download or read book Down Home written by Leonard Rogoff and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2010-04-15 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sweeping chronicle of Jewish life in the Tar Heel State from colonial times to the present, this beautifully illustrated volume incorporates oral histories, original historical documents, and profiles of fascinating individuals. The first comprehensive social history of its kind, Down Home demonstrates that the story of North Carolina Jews is attuned to the national story of immigrant acculturation but has a southern twist. Keeping in mind the larger southern, American, and Jewish contexts, Leonard Rogoff considers how the North Carolina Jewish experience differs from that of Jews in other southern states. He explores how Jews very often settled in North Carolina's small towns, rather than in its large cities, and he documents the reach and vitality of Jewish North Carolinians' participation in building the New South and the Sunbelt. Many North Carolina Jews were among those at the forefront of a changing South, Rogoff argues, and their experiences challenge stereotypes of a society that was agrarian and Protestant. More than 125 historic and contemporary photographs complement Rogoff's engaging epic, providing a visual panorama of Jewish social, cultural, economic, and religious life in North Carolina. This volume is a treasure to share and to keep. Published in association with the Jewish Heritage Foundation of North Carolina, Down Home is part of a larger documentary project of the same name that will include a film and a traveling museum exhibition, to be launched in June 2010.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here on display in this must-have collection is the cooking artistry, gift for teaching, and relaxed, confidence-inspiring tone known so well by Nathalie Dupree's enthusiastic nationwide audience. Many of the dishes prepared on New Southern Cooking with Nathalie Dupree (the fifty-five-part television series that has aired on PBS, the Learning Channel, and Star TV) are included, and a great many more: dishes simple or elaborate, dishes for a weekday meal or a multicourse feast, dishes such as a timeless, crumbly, melt-in-the-mouth biscuit or a tantalizing Grilled Duck with Muscadine Sauce. You'll find all the old-time flavors and textures embodied in such classic delights as black-eyed peas, fried chicken with the crustiest of coatings, country ham, and peach cobbler. Here, too, is all the new lightness and flavor combinations that mark today's innovative Southern cooking-expressed in such recipes as Acadian Peppered Shrimp (made tangy with just the right touches of basil, garlic, oregano, and cayenne), chicken breasts with stir-fried peanuts and collards, and grouper grilled over a pecan-seasoned fire. Nathalie Dupree shows us how to get that Southern aura of comfort and welcome into our meals. She draws on the many cuisines, rustic and elegant, that have profoundly influenced Southern cooking from its beginnings—including English, French, African, Spanish, and West Indian. Nathalie has provided a wonderfully wide-ranging selection of Southern recipes remarkable for their ease of preparation and perfectly tuned to the pace of our lives today. Whether you're cooking for guests or the folks at home, planning a backyard barbecue (there are twenty-two barbecue recipes alone!) or a big gala party, you'll find here an abundant supply of irresistible recipes, accompanied by charming illustrations by Karen Barbour.

Book excerpt: HOME IS THE PLACE WHERE WHEN YOU HAVE TO GO THERE THEY HAVE TO LET YOU IN.Eden, Arkansas is a town you are from, not move to. But when divorce, foreclosure, domestic violence, and an all-expense paid trip (also called prison) disrupt the Washington siblings' perfectly planned lives, they end up back down home. Instead of serenity, sibling rivalries, divided loyalties and money squabbles resurface. Even the good news, that there may be natural gas on their father's land, causes conflict. When their father, C.W. Washington, one of the largest landowners in the county, announces his engagement, barely six months after his wife's death, his daughters fear Viagra is clouding his judgement (his sons say - go for it).Homemade preserves and family dinners are welcome by-products of the move down home. Unfortunately, family members aren't always singing in the same key. But just a few notes can switch a gloomy blues tune to the soundtrack for a good time. What song will the Washingtons play?Praise for Down Home Blues"Ms. Dixon has penned another riveting Southern family drama."Evelyn Palfrey, Essence Magazine best-selling author"Down Home Blues does a fantastic job of exploring how individuals and families interrelate..."D.
