Download or read book Morning Glories written by Donna Leahy and published by Rizzoli International Publications. This book was released on 1996 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Donna Leahy, the usual morning fare is just a departure point for her original menus. Take oatmeal, for instance. Even that sturdy but mundane dish is transformed, combined with apples and pecans and baked into flaky phyllo packets. Eggs also achieve new status - with pancetta on potato nests or with risotto, spinach and parmesan cheese. Equally seductive are corn waffles with smoked salmon; gingerbread pancakes with apple raisin syrup or walnut French toast with poached pears and Stilton cheese. The dishes in Leahy's "Late Risers" chapter in particular move easily from early in the day to brunch and lunch, and then on the supper - and even beyond. Seared scallops with pink grapefruit and caviar, for just one example, make a lovely brunch, but they could as easily open the most formal dinner party. And why confine wild rice and almonds tossed in orange vinaigrette to the A.M.? Donna Leahy's cuisine is brightly contemporary, rooted in tradition and very much her own. In addition to her brilliant food sense, she has the advantage of cooking in the heart of Lancaster County, one of America's richest farmlands, and she shares her knowledge of fine ingredients with her readers. As a first rate innkeeper, she also has developed amazing organizational skills and in the final section of this book offers menus for entertaining and strategic one- and two-day plans for executing them.

Download or read book In the Land of Believers written by Gina Welch and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2010-02-27 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An undercover exploration of the world of evangelicals, offering an extraordinary behind-the-scenes look at the faithful Ever since evangelical Christians rose to national prominence, mainstream America has tracked their every move with a nervous eye. But in spite of this vigilance, our understanding hasn't gone beyond the caricatures. Who are evangelicals, really? What are they like in private, and what do they want? Is it possible that beneath the differences in culture and language, church and party, we might share with them some common purpose? To find out, Gina Welch, a young secular Jew from Berkeley, joined Jerry Falwell's Thomas Road Baptist Church. Over the course of nearly two years, Welch immersed herself in the life and language of the devout: she learned to interpret the world like an evangelical, weathered the death of Falwell, and embarked on a mission trip to Alaska intended to save one hundred souls. Alive to the meaning behind the music and the mind behind the slogans, Welch recognized the allure of evangelicalism, even for the godless, realizing that the congregation met needs and answered questions she didn't know she had. What emerges is a riveting account of a skeptic's transformation from uninformed cynicism to compassionate understanding, and a rare view of how evangelicals see themselves. Revealing their generosity and hopefulness, as well as their prejudice and exceptionalism, In the Land of Believers is a call for comprehending, rather than dismissing, the impassioned believers who have become so central a force in American life.

Download or read book The Secret of the Belles written by Kathryn Witt and published by . This book was released on 2014-05-27 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lanie Sullivan and Isabelle (Belle) Blakely never meet, but the two girls share a fascination for all things Gone With the Wind-especially Belle Watling, a character in the book, and Ona Munson, the actress who portrays Belle in the movie. Lanie meets Ona in 1939, during the three-day movie premiere in Atlanta, Georgia. When Lanie comes between Ona Munson and disaster, Ona rewards her with a gift-a keepsake originally given to the actress by the author of Gone With the Wind herself, Margaret Mitchell. More than sixty years later, as she helps prepare a museum dedicated to Gone With the Wind for its Grand Opening, Belle comes upon letters written to Ona Munson and feels an instant connection to their naive, star-struck author, Lanie Sullivan. As Belle digs deeper into the past through Lanie's letters, her connection grows even stronger- not to mention her curiosity at Lanie's references to a special gift. Margaret Mitchell died in 1949; Ona Munson in 1955. What about Lanie? Belle begins a quest to discover what the gift was, where it is-and what became of Lanie Sullivan. Kathryn Witt's The Secret of the Belles captures the powerful spell Gone With the Wind casts over two young women generations apart. Her writing shows her love for the book and film as well as her careful research. This is a beautiful read, and another amazing tribute to the phenomenon that is Gone With the Wind. -Cammie King Conlon, "Bonnie Blue Butler," Gone With the Wind The Secret of the Belles is a MUST read for any fan of Gone With The Wind. As usual, Kathryn Witt weaves an interesting and suspenseful tale, making us ask along the way, "What is the gift and what did become of Lanie Sullivan?" -Mickey Kuhn, "Beau Wilkes," Gone With the Wind Gone With the Wind fans will love The Secret of the Belles. It is so much fun to read. Kathryn Witt did a wonderful job with the story and characters. Any age will enjoy it, and once I started it, I couldn't put it down. -Sally Tippett Rains, The Making of a Masterpiece, the True Story of Margaret Mitchell and Gone With The Wind

Download or read book My Omaha Obsession written by Miss Cassette and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-11 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Omaha Obsession takes the reader on an idiosyncratic tour through some of Omaha’s neighborhoods, buildings, architecture, and people, celebrating the city’s unusual history. Rather than covering the city’s best-known sites, Miss Cassette is irresistibly drawn to strange little buildings and glorious large homes that don’t exist anymore as well as to stories of Harkert’s Holsum Hamburgers and the Twenties Club. Piecing together the records of buildings and homes and everything interesting that came after, Miss Cassette shares her observations of the property and its significance to Omaha. She scrutinizes land deeds, insurance maps, tax records, and old newspaper articles to uncover a property’s singular story. Through conversations with fellow detectives and history enthusiasts, she guides readers along her path of hunches, personal interests, mishaps, and more. As a longtime resident of Omaha, Miss Cassette is informed by memories of her youth combined with an enduring curiosity about the city’s offbeat relics and remains. Part memoir and part research guide with a healthy dose of colorful wandering, My Omaha Obsession celebrates the historic built environment and searches for the people who shaped early Omaha.
