Reading and Recipes

I finally finished a hardback I bought called “Ultra-Processed People” by Chris van Tulleken, who is an Infectious Disease Doctor in the U.K.. But for me, this bestselling book in food science wasn’t what I hoped it would be. I do like his message in general, but I don’t like the helplessness, and I found the book tedious at times. But other people love it, and I’m happy for them.

Then I listened to “The Boyfriend” by Frieda McFadden. It’s  a mystery where I actually rooted for the heroine to die, LOL! I liked the mystery quite a lot, but the heroine and her constant harping about finding the right guy while dating all the wrong guys had me been plotting the ways the real killer might unalive her. But nope, she lived. Still I did enjoy trying to figure out who the killer was! I do like this author.

And now I’m listening to “The House in the Cerulean Sea” by TJ Klune and loving it so far!

Up next is another hardback I bought, “That Will Never Work” by Marc Randolf about the birth of Netflix. I’m looking forward to reading it.

And on recipes, I tried a Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken for company this weekend to accompany a Tri Tip I also made. I loved this recipe and so did my son. Also it had flavor! That’s been missing from my life on this two week low iodine diet (and yet, I somehow manage to eat a ton of food because I’m committed to eating, LOL). I’d happily make that chicken again. My only change was that I added the zest of the lemon to the marinaded, and I marinaded it all day while the recipe says no longer than two hours.

What are you reading and any fun recipes you want to share?
