![]() For those inevitably salivating by the final page, a recipe is included. Marjorie Priceman is the author-illustrator of How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World and Emeline at the Circus, as well as the illustrator of Cold Snap (written by Eileen. At last, the pie is baked and feasted upon by the girl and all the friends she has made on her travels. Priceman addresses her audience directly, an astute device that draws readers in and lets them accompany the pinafore-clad, Madeleine-esque cook on her travels, from the Italian countryside (she's there for the semolina wheat) to Sri Lanka (for cinnamon, from the bark of the kurundu tree) to Jamaica (for the sugar cane) and home via Vermont (the apples, of course). Energetic watercolors radiate an offbeat nostalgia although they're not moored in any particular period, they contain an appealing jumble of details, from Edwardian (an antique pram turn-of-the-century millinery) through the present day (a yellow school bus). ![]() ![]() Priceman ( The Tiny, Tiny Boy and the Big, Big Cow ) is a master of whimsy (the chicken chosen to lay the eggs, for example, falls to earth in a parachute). A yen to bake sends a girl on a worldwide shopping spree to gather ingredients for that favorite all-American treat, apple pie. ![]()

Without much effort on my part, I found my tribe. In the last few weeks, that has all changed. I think it’s because when I was a kid, my family moved around a lot and I never felt as if I had that group of folks who had the same shared experiences. It’s a word that has always fascinated me. ![]() ![]() ![]() Valorie’s journaling questions and research-based process will shift your perspective, give you clarity and courage, and equip you with a plan of action to let go of the guilt for good. ![]() Even women who feel fulfilled often struggle to m. ![]() Recognize and overcome the five thought patterns of guiltBreak the surprising habit that tempts you to subconsciously choose guilt over joy,Stop guilt from sneaking its way into your everyday decisions and interactions, Flip those guilt trips so you can keep others from manipulating you, andStop setting yourself up for stress, anxiety, and obligation, and instead set yourself for a life of joy and freedom Learn how to leave guilt behind for good Life coach Valorie Burton teaches you a simple yet profound method that will free you from the false guilt that is so common among busy women today. ![]() Through her signature self-coaching process, powerful questions, and practical research, Valorie Burton shows you how to: Both working and stay-at-home moms agree that the expectations of women have risen dramatically in recent decades.Īs a result, many women overcompensate and over-apologize while the guilt dampens the joy of motherhood, relationships, and professional accomplishments.

![]() George Kennan enlisted in the American diplomatic corps out of college in 1925. Any writer dealing with the subject would have to at least make mention of the crucial importance of Kennan in how it all began. One of the strangest things about the book is this: I could find no mention of George Kennan. Oddly-considering his subject-Bevins gives rather short shrift to the origins of the Cold War. As we shall see-and as I will explain-that is a rather revealing statement by the author. He gives acknowledgements to several academics, including Bradley Simpson of the University of Connecticut. He is a journalist who has been employed by the LA Times, Washington Post, and the Financial Times of London. I note upfront, Bevins is not an academic, let alone an historian. As we shall see, he fails to deal with some things we do know and he does not avoid speculation. 7) He then adds that there is much we do not know. It essentially tries to tell the story of the Cold War, largely from its impact in what we today call the “Third World.” In his introduction, Bevins writes that he has avoided speculation entirely. Vincent Bevins’ book, The Jakarta Method is an ambitious volume. ![]() ![]() She mines his letters for clues about the past before agreeing to meet him in person, when she learns startling new information about the crime.

Others, if your parents had any sense, you didn’t hear until much later in life. Some of these tracks are songs you’ll remember singing nostalgically in your childhood without any clue what the hell they were about. In fact, there is an entire subgenre called “Dirty Country,” dedicated to the raunchiest, dirtiest songs that you can imagine, but we’re talking about those mainstream hits that somehow managed to slip past the censors with creative double entendre and subtle references to sex. ![]() To put it bluntly, country music is no stranger to talking about fucking, dating back to before the 1970s, even if the genre has been able to fly under the censors’ radar much more so than, say, hip-hop or rock music. Which means that country songwriters had to get creative, layering tracks with subtle (and not-so-subtle) sexual innuendo. You don’t get the reputation as the “God, guns and beer” crowd without keeping it, for the most part, clean. ![]() ![]() Country music has a reputation as a pretty strait-laced genre. ![]() ![]() ![]() Written in the vernacular of the Florentine language, it is considered a masterpiece of classical early Italian prose. In addition to its literary value and widespread influence (for example on Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales), it provides a document of life at the time. Tales of wit, practical jokes, and life lessons contribute to the mosaic. The various tales of love in The Decameron range from the erotic to the tragic. The book is structured as a frame story containing 100 tales told by a group of seven young women and three young men sheltering in a secluded villa just outside Florence to escape the Black Death, which was afflicting the city.īoccaccio probably conceived of The Decameron after the epidemic of 1348, and completed it by 1353.
