Re: What are you reading?
I'm close to finishing You Dreamed of Empires by Álvaro Enrigue. It's an imagined encounter between Hernán Cortés and Moctezuma. Slow narrative but I don't think it's trying to be anything other than that. Been reading Antarctica by Claire Keegan. Will read more short stories of hers, as I'm in a sh...

Re: The food and drink thread
So the last one I made from 1970s Joy of Cooking was Beef Bourgignon and it was nice, however, I had to use a substitution. It requires salted ham, which I'm not going to get in this country in any shape or form, so I used bacon instead (removing some excess fat from the bacon for health reasons). T...

I'm not just getting old, I'm acting it. I would never have listened to Adamo unironically ten years ago.

Very little time, but I read A Christmas Carol by Dickens, why not.

Re: The food and drink thread
https://i.ibb.co/2PG5GJP/Whats-App-Image-2024-01-05-at-6-54-10-PM.jpg I just want to show off this pristine 1970s edition of Joy of Cooking I got on Amazon. Been trying out some recipes, some have been good but I'm sometimes having some trouble with proportions. They really do have a lot of butter ...

Re: So I Self Published a Book Today
As a final thought - I'm not sure if this book works for most readers. Maybe ten people have told me they've started it, but only a couple have said they've finished it. Hey! Regrettably I have to add myself to that list, but it's not because of the book - I had to put down the other book I was rea...
