“She wondered, for the thousandth time, who got to decide one tradition was right and another was wrong.”

The Butchers' Blessing by Ruth Gilligan

November 16, 2020 by andtheIToldYouSos Leave a Comment

What makes a tradition a tradition? How and when do we pass from routine to ritual, and ritual to sacred rite? How do we decide what it kept, what is left behind, and what must be destroyed for the good of the future? Ruth Gilligan knows, but she will not give us any easy answers. Instead, she gives us snapshots; a literal photograph  sets us in motion, but glimpses into the life of “modern Ireland” connect the pieces by stringing one red knot to another. […]

London Calling

Hard Light by Elizabeth Hand

September 29, 2020 by Jake Leave a Comment

With a new Cass Neary novel out, I realized that I put book three off for so long. That was a mistake. I’ve never enjoyed a misanthropic character more and I think in large part that’s because Elizabeth Hand is such a fantastic writer. She doesn’t make Neary more than it is, she’s an anti-hero plain and simple. But she knows how to write a hell of an atmospheric tale, with touches and nods to photography and the punk scene. I know little about either […]

Gardens in pots

Container Theme Gardens by Nancy J. Ondra

March 7, 2020 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I’m not much of a gardener. I grew up with a garden in the back yard, but I think that because that was all in a very different climate than where I now live, that I no longer have a good grasp on the details of how to work with what when etc. I have managed a few things though, including several pots around my front steps. That’s why I was hoping that Container Theme Gardens would be something I could use in a the […]

You Don’t Need a Pasta Machine

American Sfoglino: A Masterclass in Handmade Pasta by Evan Funke, Katie Parla, Eric Wolfanger

August 24, 2019 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

Evan Funke and Katie Parla’s American Sfoglino: A Masterclass in Handmade Pasta is a book you will want to have as a hardcopy and maybe also as an ebook. It is an aspirational cookbook, with it’s beautiful photography. If you aspire to make pasta at home without a pasta maker, it is also a very practical cookbook. Through photography and description, Funke shows how to make some of the master doughs and pasta shapes of Bologna. If all you want to do is dream and […]
