Welcome to Litsy!

I made this rhubarb upside down cake on the fly last night. It was so good!!!!

I tweaked a few things. Less sugar, more orange, and I used whole wheat flour because that‘s what I had. The crumble bottom did not disappoint; it‘s one of the best parts! I have missed the tang of rhubarb. Harris Teeter has it right now.

Why did her mother want her to go to Paris?

Stella liked her quiet, solitary life and her predictable job at the publishing house.

After her boss forced her to go on a vacation, she decided she might as well head to Paris. She didn‘t like it at all until….

You will love the characters - eccentric, sweet, and loving.

A delightful, breezy read, but don‘t read this book if you are hungry. 5/5

Some of Bourdain‘s books I‘ve reread have been a bit disappointing, but not this one that ignited my original love of memoirs more than 20 years ago. It‘s good to read that initial enthusiasm and wonder he had for the world albeit with his trademark early cynicism, too. CT plays every night for free on PlutoTV, and I catch an episode every now and then and usually enjoy it. But I love reading later interviews, too, and how his outlook changed.

It's a beautiful day, and the pollen has finally calmed down, so I've decided to enjoy my lunch on the front porch. A #FavoriteReadingSpot for me!

Cute and cozy but wish there was a little more underlying story between the short stories

Dewey‘s 24-Hour Readathon is about to begin! It‘s my 32nd consecutive ‘thon (which: whoa) and I‘m all set to kick it off with another chapter from THE KAMOGAWA FOOD DETECTIVES. It‘s lovely so far; a little bit like MIDNIGHT DINER in how it uses particular dishes to unravel the mysteries behind people‘s lives, but without the show‘s underlying grit. #deweysapril2024

This book was recommended to me by my book club friends. This is a perfect book for book loving foodies! Mix one dry sense of humor, a dollop or two of nostalgia, a large dose of insight, a handful of appreciation, and a penchant for honesty, and you end up with this delectable morsel of a book! It is impossible to listen to these sexy descriptions of food without wanting to cook and eat your way through this book. So be warned,(cont in comments)

Finally feels like spring this week! Front porch reading 😊
