Some Annotated Reading October 31

In the three weeks since my last Annotated Reading post, I started and stopped 3 books (all in one week), read one, and am now reading two. I have a number of interests I want to read about and need to
create some kind of organized plan to do so. During the time I was reading Raw Dog, I focused on reading about food. Because Raw Dog is about hot dogs, which is food.

Food Reading

Falling for Chai--Crafting Comfort in Every Sip by Verde Curated Lifestyle at Tastyble. I am only a tea dabbler, but this article made me want to be more. So I bought some chai tea bags. That's about as much as I can expect of myself.

Ruth Reichl: "The delicious revolution" was a distraction from America's food crisis by Mary Elizabeth Williams at Salon. I do just enough food reading to have heard of Ruth Reichl. She sounds amazing in this article. In some far away, disorganized way, I will read more about/by her.

"Cooking saved my life more than once": Chef Einat Admony on her culinary memoir "Taste of Love" by Michael La Corte at Salon. This woman gets a lot more out of cooking than I do.

Don't feel like cooking? Caroline Chambers' new cookbook has you covered" by Joy Saha at Salon. This article has inspired discussion at our house and with some guests over the beginning, which discusses why "this generation" doesn't know how to cook. So far, I haven't met anyone who was taught to cook by their mother, though we cook.

Anxious About Baking? This Is a Great Way to Get Started by Dim Nikov at Tastyble. Speaking of learning to cook, this sounds like a good way to get kids started on baking bread.

Mother's Ruin by Tiffany Hawk at The Smart Set. This is about gin, which is no more about food than the tea article I linked to above. It also includes history, which is a good way to grab me. 

Humor Reading

A Victorian Time Traveler Meets Your Puggle  by Rebecca Turkewitz at The Belladonna Comedy. Not sure if this link will work for you, but this is funny.

Real Adult Horror Isn't That Someone is Coming: It's That No One Is Coming by Kate Brennan at MuddyUm. With pictures.

Next Door Reacts to the Rapture by Jay Martel in The New Yorker. You don't have a prayer of reading this. 

Parent-Teacher Conference by Karen Chee in The New Yorker. Nor this.

Fake Pandemic Introvert vs. Real Pandemic Introvert by Dahlia Garrin Ramirez.
