Welcome to Litsy!

June was a good month for reading, thanks to a mostly restful vacation where I finished 7 of these 11 books. I tagged my favorite of the month. Stats:

7 for #Greenland #foodandlit (1 doing double duty with #authoramonth)
3 for #serieslove (double duty with #foodandlit)
2 for #authoramonth (plus 1 finished in May)
2 for #campLitsy
1 for #klbr

I‘m really enjoying these novellas about the #Greenland missing persons department. I hope I am find more that have been translated to English. #FoodAndLit

Bengali snack - sweet and sour chanachur

Peanuts, rice, raisins, carom seeds, nigella seeds, sugar dust, dried mango powder, chili powder, turmeric, cinnamon, ginger powder, and asafoetida

Really behind on the food for #FoodandLit Although, I have a Peruvian restaurant close to me. @Texreader @Catsandbooks

Veeeery late, here is a version of faluda, a Bangladeshi / South-Asian dessert, perfect in hot weather. I used mango, pistachios, homemade pistachio-flavoured agar jelly, tapioca pearls, chia seeds (I was out of tukmaria), kewra water, condensed milk, and milk. Delicious!

Thermometer shows 27.7°C (81°F) inside and 37°C (98.6°F) outside. It's going to go up in the next days too. 😲 🔥 😎

Tuukula slid a plate onto the table - fried egg with mushrooms from a glass jar, heaped on top of a piece of square toast, buttered thickly.

#FoodAndLit #Greenland was a challenge on the food side, so I decided to recreate this breakfast from the tagged book. Yummy! Probably more suitable to someone who needs to hunt outside near the Arctic Circle than someone who sits at a desk, but a nice treat on a Monday morning.

I really enjoy nonfiction when the author travels, meets new people, and learns about new cultures. MacQuarrie follows the Andes through Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina to research the Ice Maiden, Pablo Escobar, Hiram Bingham, and so much more. He uses today's issues, such as bringing back ancient weaving and interweaves it with the archeology of yesterday's events. The entire book kept me glued. #FoodandLit @texreader @Catsandbooks

It answered my questions about Italy's state politics and why Martin Luther was adamant about breaking away from the depravity of the church. Lucretia was not written as part of the evil; she was a tool to further her father's powers. It was Cesare who was the ruthless murderer. #Jubilee #FoodandLit @texreader @catsandbooks
