Monkey Monday: I really should get to bed edition 21 May 2007 1:38 am
Posted by Tracy in : reviews, politics, monkeys, garden, school, agriculture, eating, books, CSA, convenience, cooking , add a commentBut I just wanted to say: I am happy to report that I have found another good book about local food, and it is Barbara Kingsolver’s Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life (written with her husband, Steven Hopp, and daughters Camille and Lily — they all appear on the back cover author picture, but Lily was too young for a book contract and so couldn’t get her name on the front cover, just very cute hands full of heirloom lima beans). I was a little worried during the early chapters, especially when they mentioned the very disappointing Coming Home to Eat by Gary Paul Nabham but I skipped ahead a little and found plenty to look forward to, so I kept reading — and was well-rewarded. I had hoped to finish Marion Nestle’s Safe Food in time to make it the subject of the book report due for Urban Farm on Thursday, but I think Animal, Vegetable, Miracle is my new winner. Of course, some (probably extended) version of whatever I turn in will make it onto TracyFood. (more…)
