just finished: Feeling much better now, so I got some reading done. I read Jessica Knoll’s The Favorite Sister, which was a crazy ride. I read a couple of cookbooks that are out Tuesday, one about prepping homemade meals you can freeze to make dinner easier (need that!) and another about frozen yogurt. Stay tuned for more about these later this week, especially The Favorite Sister, when I figure out what I think about it. So much going on!
currently reading: I’m working this week on finishing The Performance Cortex, the ultimate how to hit a baseball book, which I heard a rumor that Mark Cuban was seen reading recently. And I want to finish up Ed Lee’s Buttermilk Graffiti, as a food vacation that I can stay home for.
up next: Jennifer Donaldson’s Lies You Never Told Me, another twisty relationship story. And to go with all the foodie books this week, Luke Barr’s Ritz and Escoffier, about the birth of the modern hotel and restaurant industries. I know it’s going to be amazing, because he’s the writer who brought us Provence, 1970, the amazing tale of the summer Julia Child, James Beard, M.F.K. Fisher, Richard Olney, Simone Beck, and Judith Jones changed American food forever. If you haven’t imbibed in that yet, you need to check it out immediately.
