gfrancieI ran across a few interesting books as of late.
Fairy Island made me think of some particular people in Pasadena. The pictures are really amazing and it recalls building doll-houses but in a more interesting fashion.
Curries and Bugles. Lovely book about Indian cuisine from an Anglo perspective. The author grew up in British Raj and embraced all the food of the region. So it goes back and forth between the English influence and the native influence.
Roanoke A proper mystery that the author attempts to solve. This is one of those historically vague moments that are fun to discuss. Especially when you consider some of the theories.
I am doing my best to keep my wish list to a minimum. But dammit there are so many terrific things out there.
Now to go to get some rest and think cheerful thoughts of early morning doctor appointments.
Upside in all of this is I did not faint at all today. I felt incredibly blech at moments but other than that I did alright. I even made chicken pie for Mr. Jenner, cleared out the fridge, built a good fire, cleaned a rabbit's cage, answered my email, carved a pumpkin and took care of three loads of laundry. (I even folded and put everything away) For someone who is supposedly sick I don't do a very good impression do I?
