EAT YOUR HEARTS OUT

errr, sorry about the title pun.   but really kids, look what i found at the library this afternoon when i popped in to pay my fines:  The Book Lover's Cookbook, Recipes Inspired by Celebrated Works of Literature and the Passages that Feature Them.  how delicious is that?  books and food, gifts of a forgiving deity of some sort.  you can get a good idea of how much fun this cookbook is right here, its very own website.  i've been resisting buying any new cookbooks, but this one may prove irresistable.  the pages are sprinkled with literary quotes, the passages make me want to do nothing at all but read.  oh, and eat.

the painting above, by Karoly Ferenczy, is the book's cover art.  oh to be transported into it.  the painting, that is.  a summer afternoon, companionable shared reading, after a light repast.
