I sped-read this at work to see how I would recommend it. I'm still thinking about it 3 weeks later. Definitely worth reading. Or speed reading.

Patel: "Not off the top of my head."

Durbin: "You made eight separate appearances on his podcast. He promoted outrageous conspiracy theories and worked with prominent neo-Nazis."

It's like the scene from Scrooged when the dad tells little Frank if he wants a toy train, get a job. "All day long, I listen to people give me excuses why they can't work 'My back hurts,' 'my legs ache,' 'I'm only four' The sooner he learns life isn't handed to him on a silver platter, the better"

Because of the Foxfire books, I have to really think about it before I tell people to use either Chrome or Firefox on the library's public computers. I still say Foxfire most of the time. #FoxfireBooks
This image shows a collection of books from the Foxfire series, a set of volumes edited with introductions by Eliot Wigginton. Each spine is labeled with the series title Foxfire, volume number 1 through 6, and publisher Anchor. The books are arranged in order, with distinct colored covers for each volume, green, tan, gold, brick, brown, and beige.

Frosty walk to work this morning. 🥶
The photo shows a serene outdoor scene featuring a red-leafed tree in the foreground, surrounded by dense green foliage. In the background, there is a grassy area with old gravestones and a stone pathway, suggesting it is part of a cemetery or a garden with historical elements. The sky above is blue with a few light clouds.

I moved to England in 2008. Being a Southern American, much of my thoughts of 'home' are food based. Or maybe that's just being a migrant in general.

I ordered this pre-election, feeling optimistic and a bit homesick. It was delivered post-election.

I posted a pic on IG with a comment about my homesickness. A cousin in Louisiana commented that she felt homesick as well, and she's not even left home. She doesn't recognise America anymore. 1/2
The cover of When Southern Women Cook features a close-up image of hands working with dough on a floured surface. One hand is cutting out round biscuit shapes using a metal cutter, while a platter of freshly baked biscuits sits nearby. In the center of the platter is a small bowl of bright red jam, adding a pop of color against the golden biscuits. The book's title is displayed at the top in large white lettering: When Southern Women Cook. Below, the subtitle reads: History, Lore, and 300 Recipes with Contributions from 70 Women Writers. The cover also notes that it is part of America’s Test Kitchen, with their logo placed in the bottom-right corner.
