bailedDNF. Got as far as Michael and lost interest.
Book number three for 2024. I ❤️ my local library. Even in our small town, I can usually get whatever book someone mentions or recommends. If my local branch doesn‘t have it, interlibrary loan usually finds it.

Three foodie books involving #Apples from my collection. Ruth Reichl‘s classic memoir & a favorite cookbook have apple in their titles & The Cider Revival goes into the apple orchard for an in-depth look at heritage cider. 🍎❤️🍏💚
#GratefulHarvest #Apples Reichls second book explains how she went from living in a Berkeley commune to becoming a restaurant critic. Her love of good food guided her life in many interesting directions.
March roundup. This was a crazy month. We had family living with us on lockdown. I'm homeschooling and trying to house train our puppy. With all that, I still got a lot of reading in. This month is a great example on why I have shelves of unread books. I read everything, but it has to be the right time. I put down several good books this month. They just weren't good for me in the moment. When things get tough, I go romance!
Loved the first one, so on to the next.
2-5-20: My 7th finished book of 2020! #comfortnewithapples #ruthreichl 🌟🌟🌟🌟 👍🏼📖#️⃣7️⃣
Look what book mail arrived! I have been reading more food memoirs lately and love them! 😁
pick5/5 Stars. A wholly interesting and fast paced memoir. Some people have lived and know how to write to make it all very interesting. Some adult themes. This memoir deals with Ruth's life from her early 20s to early 40s. I started it and couldn't put it down. I read it in one sitting (sorry for ignoring you yesterday my toddler 😂) some recipes I would love to try. Again, recommend this one for anyone who loves memoirs and/or food writing.
Well, there‘s comfy and then there‘s cramped. I think the clicking of the space heater is freaking BeBop out because she generally prefers her own chair. 👽🤷♀️#DogsofLitsy
I was in an antiquarian bookstore lusting after first editions and leather bound books I could not afford. I saw a small section called “little books “near the checkout counter .the Briggle Orchard Book published in 1908 , really charmed me.Designed to help you plant and maintain a fruit orchard.Its small trim size was to keep the cost down and make it so the farmer could carry in their pocket as the orchard was being cared for. #apples #riotgrams
A variety of apple books 😊 #Riotgrams
#Characters2017 #kindredspirit How did I get two posts behind forbthis challenge?! 😬 She's a real person and not a character but when I read her writing and I'm struck by the love and passion that she describes the simplest food or even a small blue bowl sitting on a table with, I think that Ruth Reichl is a kindred spirit. We share a love for food, cooking and eating--along with words, reading, writing and history. 🍴📚💜
The followup to Reichl's bestselling #memoir Tender at the Bone, this book covers her post-chef life of being a restaurant critic. Recipes included! Reichl is a must read for any #foodie readers. 🍎🍎🍎#maybookflowers #fruit
so-soNot as enjoyable as Garlic and Sapphires, but a good read nonetheless. Reichl does an amazing job of describing meals, but the bulk of this book is more about her personal relationships--which makes sense, given that this is a memoir, but didn't quite grab me.
pickLove Ruthie, and forgot I took this picture when I wrote my review over the summer. Thought it was fitting that Dottie had her own recipe. 🤓🐶#dogsoflitsy #dottie
