CBR bingo square, Home, Something Home Jose Andres is a Washington, DC legend. He and a couple of other chefs made my hometown a destination for foodies. His Oyamel, Chila Chilcano, and America Eats Tavern are some of my favorite restaurants. You won’t just eat a fine meal, you’ll be treated like gold. I went to see him speak at the National Archives when he was starting his America Eats Tavern pop up restaurant in Penn Quarter to hear him speak on American food history […]
I was pleasantly surprised to be so absorbed in this book – cbr10bingo Delicious!
A friend game me Love, Loss, and What We Ate: A Memoir by Padma Lakshmi as a birthday present. She acknowledged that non-fiction isn’t really my thing but she thought I might find it interesting. She hadn’t read the book herself but had heard good things about it. I don’t recall ever having read an autobiography, or biography for that matter. And my friend was completely correct about me not being into non-fiction. This is only my second non-fiction book this year out of my current 47 […]

I was expecting something different
I did not like this. It’s not even the material, but the production that I was not on board for. After listening to the masterful rendition of Emma and weird but well put-together I’m From the Sun, I was expecting good quality from an Audible Original. It immediately said “podcast” to me, which is fine if you want a podcast, but I was expecting a book. And this is a book, or at least based on one. The production quality just wasn’t there. There are […]
That wasn’t on the menu
You guys, my “delicious” bingo square was supposed to be about food. I love reading about food – cooking, restaurants, food culture, the science of taste – it’s all catnip to me. My coworkers mock me. This was supposed to be an automatic good review. It’s written by Michael Pollan. It’s in the food writing section. It’s subtitled “a natural history of four meals.” So where’s the food writing? I feel like the reader expecting Moby Dick to be an action tale and getting […]
I highlighted the crap out of this book
cbr10bingo… Delicious! So the subtitle of this book is “true love in and out of the kitchen”, and it applies to both self love and love of someone else. This is the author, Hannah Howard’s true story about her life of eating and eating disorder. From the very start of this book, I could relate to Hannah. Thankfully (for me), she was way more messed up than I ever was, but she might be further along in her recovery journey than I am too. Thankfully […]
