I’ve had Lucy Knisley’s Relish: My Life in the Kitchen checked out for a LONG time. I even started it a LONG time ago, but I got distracted and then other people had holds on it, and down it went on the “Currently Reading” list. I decided it was time to work on that “Currently Reading” list, however, and so–after re-starting it, since it had been so LONG–I made my way through and finished Relish this week. Here are my thoughts…
1. NOT a fan of the porn-magazines-in-Mexico section–adolescent boys learning to objectify women is never okay with me. (Porn is also completely contrary to my religious beliefs.) That said, it’s a memoir, and it happened.
2. I do enjoy the way Lucy Knisley writes about food.
3. I really wanted some sort of mention about WHY her parents broke up. I just wanted to KNOW.
4. I used to have a metabolism like that…before I hit 40. It was pretty great, I have to say.
5. Although it does come back to bite you in the form of unsustainable eating habits.
6. But I digress. The point is, I enjoyed it–and I want to make some of the recipes. (Others I’d prefer someone else to make for me, and a few involve ingredients I don’t eat/drink.)
7. I’m looking forward to her other memoirs for adults.
8. Definitely worthwhile for foodies!
In other news, after the warning bulletin about Covid numbers that came through on my phone yesterday, I think we’re going to buy each of our kiddos a candy or three of his/her choice and hunker down for games and a Halloween movie tonight. We’ll leave a bowl of candy on our front porch, but trick-or-treating doesn’t feel like the best idea this year. 2020…
