To start cooking at age 8 is a feat

Muffins and Mayhem. This book with the author's photos of her childhood reminds me of a Rita Mae Brown book.

Dream
A lady ripped open
the huge tire of a
big car that I was in
There were no problems
to report
I wondered why my car
was getting the check

The author Suzanne Beecher went for an auto mechanic program.

Even if 'Muffins and Mayhem' didnt have the recipes at the end of each chapter, the book would be no less valuable. With her never-give-up attitude author Suzanne Beecher, provides the readers with recipes that will leave them not only basic-needs-met-happy but content. The (if disorderly) in the title as well as her life, adds the texture to her story.Her decision process in selling her publishing business is insightful into what success is and if you can lose and still be happy, or gain and feel bad.

Even through her foibles, she learns and becomes a better person.I find similarities in her life and 'Blood, bones and butter' Gabrielle Hamilton's. The latter doesn't flesh out the story from childhood, but as adults both have a strong work ethic that saves them from past ghosts of errors.

The success of the book lies in the author's voice, its intimacy.

Essay to movie night

I was reading A merging of head and heart  by Judith Dancoff  and came across Barefoot in the Park .  I started watching the movie and not so soon the characters had knichi and pelminchki. They have to be  part of Albanian cuisine  but are more fictional. May be ouzo is bozo. I have always liked the idea of making up food for pages. Knichi is supposed to be popped in and not nibbled. Do you know of foods that need to be had in certain ways to taste good? As the movie progressed, my taste buds recalled the Bhelpuri  in the kitchen.
