Welcome to Litsy!

A sweet, clean romance and a charmingly wonderful story about Milwaukee and the food scene that truly makes me want to go back again. A perfect summer read.

Week 21: A book with food in the title
Reading: The Coincidence of Coconut Cake by Amy E. Reichert

Light and fluffy and just what the doctor ordered. Romance is no longer my go to genre but every once in a while you need some brain candy. The two main characters were charming and the supporting cast was absolutely adorable. Otto and Gertrude came very close to stealing the show in my opinion.

My only complaint was the narrators voice when doing Al - the male main character. A little too high pitched. Otherwise a solid pick in my eyes.

1. Eggs, bacon, and either toast or biscuits
2. I never understood the combination of fish and chicken places. Like, half Long John Silver and half KFC? Nope.
3. Yes
4. I know they have like knockoff flavors, but if Girl Scouts wanted to partner with someone to make Thin Mint flavored ice cream, I wouldn‘t complain! 😋

1️⃣ Crèpes with an assortiment of fillings. Pancakes will do in a pinch too. I have that maybe three times a year.
2️⃣ In hindsight, the "Chinese" restaurants of my childhood. Orientalism and coloured corn syrop, basically.
3️⃣ If alone, yes, of course.
4️⃣ I'll let you on a little secret, if you can think of it, it exists, somewhere on this planet.

So many great observations in this book. Guess that‘s one of the reasons I‘m savoring it like a delicious meal. #foodie #foodbook

Loving this so far! #MountTBR #foodie

A predictable romance done well is always a delight and that is what you get with this book. Two charming main characters with a lovable supporting cast and lots of yummy food descriptions ❤️ I‘m looking forward to reading more from this author.

On to the next!

Food is very #BiginJapan & here are some foodish books I've enjoyed. When I first traveled there in the late 90s I was introduced to author Banana Yoshimoto & Harumi Kurihara (considered the "Martha Stewart of Japan). I'm a fan of Iron Chef Morimoto & recently read the quirky Convenience Store Woman. The tagged book is an old favorite about a woman who goes to Kyoto to study kaiseki-the art of cooking food for tea ceremonies. ???
