How to kill things....

What a fun book!

Beautiful & straight from the heart~Life at the bakery on Simnel Street has always been simple, comfortable, safe & secure for the daughters of the Master Baker, Polly & Susannah Oliver. Yet when the girls begin to grow up, events outside the bakery changes each of their lives (differently) forever...
Mrs. Oliver has always wanted the best for her 2 daughters, her heart being set on finding them respectable husbands. But against her wishes, & to the very dismay of Mrs. Oliver, Polly falls in love with a simple rifleman. When he is shipped off to the war in Spain, Polly's mother is sure she'll forget him. Yet she underestimates polly's determination, stubborness & loyalty to true love. Thus, Polly decides to go search for her rifleman in midst of the war...involving the entire town, neighbors, friends, all try to get a word to the vanished army & their beloved Polly...
A beautiful book which is written straight from the heart. Old nursery rhymes, children 'street' songs, recipes from rye bread to plum cakes all adds to the autencity of the book.
"Marry a grocer, eat well all yr life, marry a tinker, tread dry as his wife, marry a baker, never lack bread, marry a draper, quilts for yr bed. Marry a ploughboy, knee deep in mire, marry a tinker, blackended by fire, marry a sailor, salt in yr eye, marry a soldier, widow u'll die"


Getting to grips with sustainable development

How much lemon zest can a person eat?
Non-fat fads - is there an end to it?
Fabulous tasting, healthy meals that anyone can prepareMy step-daughter, who does not cook frequently, prepared a fabulous soup and an exquisite vegetarian entry while caring for a three-month old child. In other words, the recipes are simple to prepare and practical for working people. As a graduate of the Mayo Medical School and a practicing Family Physician, she also attested to the qualifications of the Mayo co-author and to the nutritional content of the recipes.
If you want to eat healthy meals, but think that means giving up great tasting food, the recipes in this cookbook will convince you otherwise. Most items can be found even in small-town grocery stores, though a few may require a broader search. Any urban or suburban market will carry all of the ingredients required.
I am buying this as a holiday gift for everyone on my list.
