Oh, the French Laundry Doc bought tears to my eyes. What a wonderful person Sally was. Love this blog. Thanks Sarai and Happy Healthy 2023 to you. ~ Stephanie
Isn’t it beautiful? I just finished reading David Chang’s memoir, Eat a Peach, and it seems to me that the line between artistry and commercial success is particularly hard to walk in the world of restaurants.
Thank you for starting this blog this year, I’ve really enjoyed it and look forward to more, especially given your intention to go with the seasons. Yes, Nigel Slater is great at that, isn’t he.? Your mention of him prompted me to reread sections of previous books of his I’ve enjoyed. And I adored the Sally Schmitt doc.
I, too, recommend In the Wilderness. When I taught a course on Transformative Learning I encouraged students to read memoirs and that one was always on my ‘suggested’ list. But there are SO many good books. The one I’m into at the moment (Fayne) has 722 pp — wish me luck!
Transformative Learning sounds like an amazing course! I’m curious about that now.
I have a 2 volume book I’d really like to read this year, but it’s 1500 pages and will be dense with ideas, so I’m not sure if I can deal with the opportunity cost. But I might try and make it one of those books I read in small increments over the year.
I mostly read memoirs and I'm stoked Glass Castle made your top 5 list because it is at the top of my all time favorite list-I always mean to jot down the books you reference on the podcast.
Not that you're asking, but I think you'd like another favorite memoir of mine by Kim Barnes-In the Wilderness.
Your dress is gorgeous and could totally be dressed down, too.
Yesterday, I was at a Friends of the Library used bookshop, and they had a list of the 100 most banned books on the wall, and I was really surprised (and saddened) that it was on there.

Keep getting the sunshine available to you.
I will check that out! My to-read list is out of control. It’s exciting and intimidating! 😂

How awful! SMH
