“Put a whole fuckn’ bulb of garlic in—or fuckn’ don’t. Whatever Trevor”

Un-cook Yourself: A Ratbag's Rules for Life by Nat's What I Reckon

by 2 Comments

I think I’ve made it clear before that I am not someone who is normally drawn to self-help books. I have also mentioned that Audible kind of takes issue with this rather strongly, and insists on throwing suggestions my way. But through either sheer persistence or will, it turns out that one did stick Probably because it is kind of—in part—a piss-take of self-help books anyhow. The other half is a genuine call for you to keep your chin up Champion!—because it is completely normal […]

Really Hoping The Food is as Good as it Looks

The Korean Vegan Cookbook by Joanne Lee Molinaro

by 1 Comment

This might be the first cookbook I’ve preordered; I’m pretty sure that I actually ordered it months ago, and forgot when it was supposed to come out. Then came the shipping notice, and then The Korean Vegan Cookbook. This is actually almost a coffee table book give that it’s a glossy hard cover with lots of pretty pictures. That said, it also looks like it will be a lot of interesting fun to work through. Not only are the recipes pretty doable in terms of […]

Wicked good time

Mellybean and the Wicked Wizard by Mike White

by Leave a Comment

It was a shiny cover. It was a colorful cover. And it was a slippery cover. Mellybean and the Wicked Wizard seemed like a perfectly, fun, easy read I needed to clean my busy brain. And I thought it was the first in the series, as there was no “Book Two” that I could see. And while it is a cute book, read volume one first. Mike White’s graphic novel for ages six to ten/eleven, has sweet animals (a rambunctious puppy, a few cool cats) […]

Berzerker Barb and Porkchop to save the day, but first… Sausages!

Barb the Last Berzerker by Dan & Jason

by Leave a Comment

According to the publisher content (with a little edit from me), my first review is if: She-Ra/He-Man met Dav Pilkey’s Dog Man. And while I won’t disagree, I do think it is a little less as shall we say, clueless than Dog Man can be. Barb is a young Berzerker who wants in on the action, but the others feel she is too young. But when she is the last one standing, this Dan (Abdo) and Jason (Patterson) graphic novel, she is their only hope […]

Love Letter to a Diaspora

Mooncakes and Milk Bread by Kristina Cho

by 2 Comments

Kristina Cho’s Mooncakes and Milk Bread is a spectacular cookbook. It has gorgeous photography, clearly explained recipes, and threads that tie her upbringing in Cleveland, Ohio to the greater Chinese diaspora. Cho grew up in her family’s Chinese restaurants. Initially, she wanted to be a chef, like her grandfather, but instead studied architecture, eventually creating a food blog as a release for her love of cooking. Mooncakes and Milk Bread works as an introduction to Chinese baking (and steaming and pan frying). She clearly explains […]
