Favorite Books

Love to read!! Know my librarians by name :)

Just finished " The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks " Not my usual subject of choice but an important read for our times. I will be thinking about this book and it's implications for a long time. Highly recommend it.

Cook books! - especially enjoyed Thomas Keller and Ferran Adrià. Can't say I understood all of it but found them super inspiring. From the chemistry of food to their work ethics, there was loads of great information. TK's explanation of how to properly dress a salad was so simple and makes a huge difference!

Comment: Thanks, but the swap said to send a 'decorative' box. Which you didn't do. It was a plain box with my address that I can't even get off. Everything inside was neat and fun though.
Response: Your items where sent in an undecorated tin because your profile said that you liked tins and I thought you might like to decorate your own ( I would).

Comment: I just received your amazing package, and can't begin to tell you how special it made me feel! The fact that you mailed in a cigar box was amazing...and the included fabric, buttons, etc. will be quickly used in my creations. And the wooden stamp! LOVE IT! Those are so special... I always try to imagine what the fabric they created would have looked like. The silk ribbon i gorgeous, and I have been wanting to try a tee juice pen, so that timing is perfect. Thank you so very much for more than making my day!
