Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like iced tea, love is a perfect blending of the bitter and sweet to have something worth savoring. The women in these six stories ignore religious and racial difference to find someone who serves as the perfect balance. They know and prove flavors that are perfect on their own can come together to create something that requires celebrating. From mixed up place settings at a wedding reception to forgoing an elaborate ceremony for exchanging vows in front of a magistrate after a night of civil disobedience, the women in these stories pursue their passions on their way to wedded bliss, joining in the joy at those crossing that threshold and on the other side of the broom where the savory and the sweet can be so satisfying. Contains the stories: Challah and Callaloo: Leah had no way of knowing the informational interview she had with shapely marketing manager Patricia would lead to their planning a same-sex Southern wedding complete with a rabbi and rum cake seven years later. They come from different faiths but their love knows no bounds and, with the permission of the United States Supreme Court, they plan to make their love legal. Ghosted: Kathleen planned to spend her Halloween doling out candy and reminiscing about an ex-lover. But when a slinky character from her black and white TV-watching past shimmies down her driveway, she realizes the trick of living life after death can be the treat she has been missing. This year’s Halloween proves to be the right occasion to bring Kathleen’s love life back to life. Heat Wave Southport: An encounter at a Fourth of July food truck brings together two elementary school classmates for an afternoon delight that takes eating cotton candy in a totally different direction. Zora and Sarah spent twenty years on opposite side of the state but reconnecting during the Fourth of July inspires them use their town library in a totally different way that doesn’t require a library card. Icing on the Cake: Octavia Banfield has a lot on her plate. Still, she is willing to shed all the hats she wears to put on her baker cap to make her lady lover Audra her favorite cake. The sweetest revenge is to enjoy each other and some sweet adult time together. Red velvet cake may be just a mixture of eggs, butter, and milk, but the icing on the cake is the love two Southern women have for each other. Married to the Struggle: Sedalia and Charlotte meet standing up for what they believe is right. But is their love enough to sustain when Charlotte is arrested for protesting in the early morning hours of their wedding day? Sedalia believes in social justice but will she allow it to prevent her from enjoying her special day? Sometimes She Gets Lucky: Nona Essex had no idea she'd find the woman to ignite the embers of her heart after a break-up at her sorority sister’s wedding reception. But a chance encounter with a lawyer named after a jazz singer and a late night dinner featuring a Southern staple on whole wheat bread inspires her to reconsider opening herself up to the possibilities.

Book excerpt: "Virginia, or the Old Dominion, as her children delight to call her, has always been famed for the style of her living ... Tearing the glittering arms of King George from their sideboards, and casting them, with their costly plate and jewels, as offerings into the lap of the Continental Congress, they introduced in their homes that new style of living in which, discarding all the showy extravagance of the old, and retaining only its inexpensive graces, they succeeded in perfecting that system which, surviving to this day, has ever been noted for its beautiful and elegant simplicity. This system, which combines the thrifty frugality of New England with the less rigid style of Carolina, has been justly pronounced, by the throngs of admirers who have gathered from all quarters of the Union around the generous boards of her illustrious sons, as the very perfection of domestic art." -- Preface.

Download or read book Beautiful Poems Beautiful Places written by T. Leona Tollison, Ph. D. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-05-09 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I loved to sit at my Mother’s feet and as she read poems and I repeatedly said, “read it again.” I memorized every one. The first day of school I recited one to my teacher about teachers and got on her good side. As time rolled on, writing Poetry and Prose had competition with Music and many other talents. I became an English Teacher and later acquired a PhD. God has given me many talents along with a love for travel to enjoy the great beautiful world He has placed us in. I am truly Blest. Beautiful Poems Beautiful Places is a small treasure of my experience. I would love for them to be your experience. Writing Poetry soothes my spirit like standing by a stream while I watch the water flow. Writing Poetry is equal to looking out from the peer and over the vast spread of rolling waves coming in and going out, rejoicing to know that God is in full Control. Writing Poetry is precisely like climbing to the Mountain Top and at the Summit experience the closeness of Majesty. I hope that you sense this as you read my book. Writing or Reading Poetry is many more things that give sweet peace. My desire is to encourage and spread hope or, perhaps, implant smiles along life’s way.
Download or read book Three Many Cooks written by Pam Anderson and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2015-04-14 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the women behind the popular blog Three Many Cooks gather in the busiest room in the house, there are never too many cooks in the kitchen. Now acclaimed cookbook author Pam Anderson and her daughters, Maggy Keet and Sharon Damelio, blend compelling reflections and well-loved recipes into one funny, candid, and irresistible book. Together, Pam, Maggy, and Sharon reveal the challenging give-and-take between mothers and daughters, the passionate belief that food nourishes both body and soul, and the simple wonder that arises from good meals shared. Pam chronicles her epicurean journey, beginning at the apron hems of her grandmother and mother, and recounts how a cultural exchange to Provence led to twenty-five years of food and friendship. Firstborn Maggy rebelled against the family’s culinary ways but eventually found her inner chef as a newlywed faced with the terrifying reality of cooking dinner every night. Younger daughter Sharon fell in love with food by helping her mother work, lending her searing opinions and elbow grease to the grueling process of testing recipes for Pam’s bestselling cookbooks. Three Many Cooks ladles out the highs and lows, the kitchen disasters and culinary triumphs, the bitter fights and lasting love. Of course, these stories would not be complete without a selection of treasured recipes that nurtured relationships, ended feuds, and expanded repertoires, recipes that evoke forgiveness, memory, passion, and perseverance: Pumpkin-Walnut Scones, baked by dueling sisters; Grilled Lemon Chicken, made legendary by Pam’s father at every backyard cookout; Chicken Vindaloo that Maggy whipped up in a boat galley in the Caribbean; Carrot Cake obsessively perfected by Sharon for the wedding of friends; and many more. Sometimes irreverent, often moving, always honest, this collection illustrates three women’s individual and shared search for a faith that confirms what they know to be true: The divine is often found hovering not over an altar but around the stove and kitchen table. So hop on a bar stool at the kitchen island and join them to commiserate, laugh, and, of course, eat! Praise for Three Many Cooks “This beautiful book is a stirring, candid, powerful celebration of mothers, daughters, and sisters, and of family, food, and faith. The stories are relatable and real, and are woven perfectly with the time-tested, mouthwatering recipes. I loved every page, every word, and am adding this to the very small pile of books in my life that I know I’ll pick up and read again and again.”—Ree Drummond, New York Times bestselling author of The Pioneer Woman Cooks

Download or read book Long Island Iced Tea written by Ram Kamal Mukherjee and published by Jufic Books. This book was released on 2016-02-12 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you believe that variety is the spice of life, then "Long Island Ice Tea" should be your favourite poison. The book is abstract and doesn't fall into one genre. In the age of surfing, reading a book is nothing less than testing patience. And it's a herculean task. These stories were written in various seasons, over many months. The mood of the book swings from sober to slut. From dark to darker. From love to lust. This is a collage of emotions. Just how, we all have phases in life. It's an ordinary piece of work, and that's what makes it extraordinaire. In a bar, if you are the one who craves the most for cocktail, then this is the one. Go, party with the words.
