How about foodie #Intimacy for today‘s prompt?! This book is “Intimate Writings on Love, Life, Food, and Flavor” ❤️‍🔥

First read of 2024 is in the books ?

This was no *Like Water For Chocolate* that's for sure. But the story of Júbilo and Lucha and their daughter Lluvia was sweet. The bits of history of the telegraph were interesting. However, the extraneous, not quite, mystical elements were nothing but distracting.

At the start, I was rather unconvinced by this novella, but the more I read the more engaged I was. I'll have to google all the Chilean writers mentioned because apart from Neruda, I couldn't place them.

The picture of Santiago de Chile in winter with the Andes in the background I found on Wikipedia felt fitting...

Everyone knows Santiago is going to be murdered, yet nobody manages to prevent it from happening. An intriguing premise for a crime novel, and told from the perspective of a witness turned journalist. Márquez captured the by-stander effect decades before smartphones. 8/10

What a social critique by one of the world‘s greatest writers! Marquez, known for his eloquent passages, is briefer here. Yet he still tells a story full of color and wonder.

My husband reading about peppers that he has never heard of before. #latincooking #GrandCocinaLatina
I cannot wait for the meals he decides to make! #porchlife

My husband searched for this book & was so delighted to find it.( for a lower price than Amazon‘s $50.)Right now he is reading about Latin cooks‘ superstitions.
