Excuse the March review postings I‘m going to do, I got so behind. This was for my virtual foodie book club & I ended up listening to it, read by the author. Overall, I enjoyed it, finding more interest in his tales of early days at Food Network & chefs as celebrities & his restaurant than the stories of his boyhood-young-adulthood machismo but he does spin a good story. Even better than the book is the Soup Seca (dry soup) pasta dish I found ⬇️

Still #audiosouping to this one to finish it by 3/31 but my house smells very exotic as I‘m making Misr Wot (Ethiopian Lentil Stew) for #FoodandLit #Ethiopia

I was going to make it last weekend but there were no red lentils to be found in the 3 grocery stores near me & I didn‘t want to brave Whole Foods on a weekend, so instead I ordered them & the berbere spice & nit‘r quibe (Ethiopian spiced butter) from Amazon. Finished 🍲pic coming later.

Yes, still #audiosouping to this one—got to finish it by the end of the month for my virtual foodie book club. The man does like the F-word.🤨

Today‘s soup is my vegan version of Zuppa Toscana. My sister mentioned she made the meat-filled version earlier this week for my niece & her new baby & made me crave it. It smells amazing although the cooked vegan sausage & kale still need to be added. Finished soup pic coming later.

My #audiosouping pick again this week & the selection for my virtual food blogger book club. I have not gotten too far because today‘s soup or Chana Masala Stew is pretty quick to put together. I needed something featuring canned ingredients & this one has chickpeas & fire-roasted tomatoes. Finished soup pic coming later.

My #audiosouping pick today is for my virtual blogger foodie book club. Just got a couple of chapters in today. Chef Sanchez is narrating & he is quite earnest. 😉
The soup is a Donna Hay recipe for Cauliflower and Corn Chowder, so not a match for the Mexican food in the book but I think it will be good. Finished soup pic coming later.

Trying to rest & regroup today for another crazy week at work. Why are weekends so darn short?! 😬

I could not get past 25% on this one. I feel I should share my bails more often because otherwise it seems like I think all books are good. Chef Sanchez surely has an interesting story but he doesn't know which parts matter, which parts to give more detail on, and how to structure a narrative. If he used a ghost writer that person should be fired. He repeats stuff we already know while glossing over stories that sounded interesting, if only.
