Download or read book The Antique written by Donald Mackay and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-05-20 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was suggested to the author of this book of short stories that he relate his education accomplishments and high points in his life as it related to writing. Universities, and there were several, creative writing as far as those were available to an old student. He served four years active and four years reserve in the military. At fifty six he decided to graduate from high school. He had already been to three universities, learning Spanish, Russian, and Latin, and had taken a first course in creative writing. It was the first, of several rather unsteady steps, to a possible life of writing short stories. After graduating from high school he proceeded to move from one university creative writing course to another until he reached the university of N.C. at Chapel Hill with a professor, a well known writer, who taught advanced creative writing . It was required that a demonstration of writing ability needed to be offered before a student would be accepted to his class. MR. MacKay was accepted and presented many stories to the professor who was well taken with the creative talent demonstrated. It was the most positive acceptance by a professional writer and a compliment beyond any this writer had ever received. This is book #5 of a list of 8. Maybe he could be an accepted writer; that remains to be seen. Readers will make that judgment.
Download or read book Nothing Fancy written by Diana Kennedy and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diana Kennedy is the world’s preeminent authority on authentic Mexican cooking and one of its best-known food writers. Renowned for her uncompromising insistence on using the correct local ingredients and preparation techniques, she has taught generations of cooks how to prepare traditional dishes from the villages of Mexico, and in doing so, has documented and helped preserve the country’s amazingly diverse and rich foodways. Kennedy’s own meals for guests are often Mexican, but she also indulges herself and close friends with the nostalgic foods in Nothing Fancy. This acclaimed cookbook—now expanded with new and revised recipes, additional commentary, photos, and reminiscences—reveals Kennedy’s passion for simpler, soul-satisfying food, from the favorite dishes of her British childhood (including a technique for making clotted cream that actually works) to rare recipes from Ukraine, Norway, France, and other outposts. In her inimitable style, Kennedy discusses her addictions—everything from good butter, cream, and lard to cold-smoked salmon, Seville orange marmalade, black truffle shavings, escamoles (ant eggs), and proper croissants—as well as her bêtes noires—kosher salt, nonfat dairy products, cassia “cinnamon,” botoxed turkeys, and nonstick pans and baking sprays, among them. And look out for the ire she unleashes on “cookbookese,” genetically modified foods, plastic, and unecological kitchen practices! The culminating work of an illustrious career, Nothing Fancy is an irreplaceable opportunity to spend time in the kitchen with Diana Kennedy, listening to the stories she has collected and making the food she has loved over a long lifetime of cooking.

Download or read book Never Broken written by Jewel and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling poet and multi-platinum singer-songwriter Jewel explores her unconventional upbringing and extraordinary life in an inspirational memoir that covers her childhood to fame, marriage, and motherhood. When Jewel’s first album, Pieces of You, topped the charts in 1995, her emotional voice and vulnerable performance were groundbreaking. Drawing comparisons to Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell, a singer-songwriter of her kind had not emerged in decades. Now, with more than thirty million albums sold worldwide, Jewel tells the story of her life, and the lessons learned from her experience and her music. Living on a homestead in Alaska, Jewel learned to yodel at age five, and joined her parents’ entertainment act, working in hotels, honky-tonks, and biker bars. Behind a strong-willed family life with an emphasis on music and artistic talent, however, there was also instability, abuse, and trauma. At age fifteen, she moved out and tasked herself with a mission: to see if she could avoid being the kind of statistic that her past indicated for her future. Soon after, she was accepted to the prestigious Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan, and there she began writing her own songs as a means of expressing herself and documenting her journey to find happiness. Jewel was eighteen and homeless in San Diego when a radio DJ aired a bootleg version of one of her songs and it was requested into the top-ten countdown, something unheard-of for an unsigned artist. By the time she was twenty-one, her debut had gone multiplatinum. There is much more to Jewel’s story, though, one complicated by family legacies, by crippling fear and insecurity, and by the extraordinary circumstances in which she managed to flourish and find happiness despite these obstacles. Along her road of self-discovery, learning to redirect her fate, Jewel has become an iconic singer and songwriter. In Never Broken she reflects on how she survived, and how writing songs, poetry, and prose has saved her life many times over. She writes lyrically about the natural wonders of Alaska, about pain and loss, about the healing power of motherhood, and about discovering her own identity years after the entire world had discovered the beauty of her songs.
