Sicilian Roots
A little bookshelf roulette drew me to a red spine and then a cover bursting with spring vegetables. So a friend and I set out to make dinner from a new cookbook. A souvenir from a recent trip - Sicily: The Cookbook Recipes Rooted in Tradition by Melissa Muller was the choice. It turns our that this was perfect for a summer evening. To fuel our cooking with had a simple apero board featuring fresh figs and an aged Sicilian balsamic vinegar.
NY City Museum is Wonderful
The Museum of the City of New York is dedicated to preserving and presenting the history of the city of New York. Through wit, wonder and immersive exhibits, they do a complex city justice.
A Spool of Blue Thread
Why I picked it up? I read this book more than 10 years ago, so I would imagine I picked it based on my fondness for Anne Tyler. New at the time, I tend to keep a list of recommended books.
Who would I pass it on to? Though I fear it may hit too close to home, I would pass it on to anyone dealing with aging and declining parents. It’s a surreal adventure that takes a toll.
