I thought Eating with Uncle Sam might be interesting for TW, retro food blog and all that. She was sort of ho hum about it but I liked it. There sure were a lot of recipes from Nixon and Bush. And General Eisenhower’s recipe for chicken soup was fabulous, not that I like soup or anything.
And then there’s Where Children Sleep, a book I kept thinking I would buy but never did. I just happened to walk down the last row of shelves of new arrivals (a row I never really walk past) and it caught my eye. I figured what the heck, I’ll get it. I’m glad I did and I still think I want to buy it. As Elly said just now – that book is really depressing. But it’s interesting and it makes you think.
