I recently finished reading 52 Loaves
What a foodie. Geez.
This book chronicles his journey-it has irreverent humor, scientific facts, historical explorations and (maybe most importantly) recipes. I really enjoyed this entire book, and I highly recommend it. But I must warn you: it will have you wanting to stop everything and bake bread.
But that's not so bad, right? :)
What have you been reading lately? Any great summer reading suggestions?
I reccomend you try My Bread by Jim Lahey. The recipes are amazing, the bread turns out so good, and the unconvetional methods are fun and easy. Personally, the white bread, stecca, and pizza bianca are my favorites.

I highly recommend The Help by Kathryn Stockett. Such a great eye-opening story.

I'm reaing Tina Fey's 'Bossypants' - it is hilarious. And even worse I can identify with so much of it! Geek over here for reals.

You should read 'Fruit Hunters' by Adam Leith Gollner. He basically goes around the world tasting different fruits and meeting crazy fruit connoisseurs. It's a really interesting and fast read, quite a bit like '52 Loaves', it sounds like :)

Unbearable Lightness by Portia de Rossi. It was such a great book and so well written. It really made me re-think how I think about my body.

Wow this book sounds really interesting! I'll have to check it out..
I just bought Eat, Pray, Love. My mom and I watched the movie a week ago and I was like, "holy crap I need to read the book", haha. I hope it's good! :]

I was just looking at his other book, 'The $64 Tomato'. I was debating on whether to get that one or 'And I Shall Find Some Peace There' by Margaret Roach. I picked the latter and I'm really enjoying it. I plan to read the 'The $64 Tomato' and '52 Loaves' next.

Planchas De Pelo ghd El diseño es muy elegante, cuerpo compacto y forma única, toma en tu mano que no le gusta la sensación. Apretón de manos en el diseño de arco, más cómodo de usar. Carpeta para hacer que la máquina se encrespa el pelo lacio casi, pero el camino a algunos cambios, que deben ser establecidos de acuerdo a la duración de su cara y el pelo
