The recipes will remain!<br /><br />Andy (Pilgrimpace): You're on, but it won't be just yet.<br /><br />Vagabonde: so many books, so many books. There's just not time to read them all. I do like Hemingway, and try to learn from his concision and understatement. And that book about the French Occupation sounds interesting.<br /><br />The Solitary Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284354541952038339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-36736727516405144172013-08-29T03:51:05.212+01:002013-08-29T03:51:05.212+01:00It’s exciting to start a new type of blog – well t...It’s exciting to start a new type of blog – well they are your different blogs put into one so it has a new form. I don’t think I’ll read the books you are reading – they look too religious for my non-religious mind (prayer, submission, purification et plus.) Then I have so many books around me that I cannot look at others, although I still buy some. Last week at an estate sale I found a 1970 paperback edition of Hemingway’s In Our time, his first short stories published in France in 1925 before they were published in the US. I finished it last night. Then today I received Wine and War: The French, The Nazis and the Battle for France’s Greatest Treasure by Donald Kladstrup. In addition this coming week-end is the Decatur Book Festival – a town on the other side of Atlanta. It is one of the largest, if not the largest book festival in the US – and then the week-end after that it is the University Women Book Sale where with thousands of books starting at 50 cents! Temptation, constant temptation… and I usually do not resist if I find books in French.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-30173186065420776102013-08-28T19:16:25.307+01:002013-08-28T19:16:25.307+01:00Yes Robert, having just read Dom's comment - p...Yes Robert, having just read Dom's comment - please don't leave out those recipes - I have tried one or two and they are always good and also reliable.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-67930602929123733232013-08-27T20:55:08.269+01:002013-08-27T20:55:08.269+01:00I'm spending quite a bit of time with Teresa a...I'm spending quite a bit of time with Teresa and John at the moment in preparation for some study leave (making sense of why they speak so essentially to me in this very different context)- very happy to be part of a conversation about this<br /><br />AndyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-15833258615142996452013-08-27T20:42:56.648+01:002013-08-27T20:42:56.648+01:00I like the "one blog" idea.
