Oh my.

Alright, so, first things first.
Books that I am currently reading. you know, because I like books.I like to read books like 12 at a time, I'm very A.D.D. and I tend to get very bored, very quickly. OH! also i'm sure you guys love pretty pictures!
YAY CTHULHU!

So my top books that i'm reading as of now would be:

  1. On food and cooking, By Harold McGee
  •      I only have good things to say about this book and at school it is the bible. Harold McGee takes food and he holds your hand and just says, look at this, do you see this? this is why everything works. It's great, a must have book for anyone that enjoys food.
    2. I, Lucifer, By Glen Duncan
  • This is a little different. I was told to read this book from a dear friend of mine while I was staying in New Orleans and working on my Externship. This book is hilarious, but, it also is not for the faint of heart. It is a book written by Lucifer himself  which in itself is kind of odd, but he is a human because God wants him back. I have to say one thing, this book is very well written and although it may be slightly offensive it is deviously delicious at the same time.
   3.  Secret Ingredients: The New Yorker Book of Food and drink,
        by David Remnick
  • This is another book I freaking adore. It's pretty much a bunch of articles stemming from the very early nineteen hundreds. It tickles my fancy in ways I never knew it could be tickled. Some of the stories are a little dull but a lot of them are just so amazing, It's like a big book of things you should be doing as a cook, and all of the things scream at you just go have fun and treat people well. There are articles about MR. Point, A god of restaurant history. This man weighed a slim 350 pounds, and as one of his most famous quotes states
    "I like to start my day off with a glass of Champagne. I like to wind it up with Champagne, too. To be frank, I also like a glass or two in between. It may not be the universal medicine for every disease...but it does you less harm than any other liquid." Like I said, Class Act.




    Right I"m off point, Anyways, this book has articles from a man who went to le pyrmanid, to a man who went scavaging with Euell Theophilus Gibbons in November in Pennsylvania. Anyways, Book is awesome. Check it.

    Alright Well those are three books I'm really enjoying right now. For the rest of the day i'll probably read and Reddit. I'll be back tonight with some super awesome and slightly amazing (mostly amazing) Culinary definitions. Ooooh maybe we'll go over beef cuts! Yeah i'm thinking that's gonna happen.

    Cheers non existent readers :D
