Jennifer N. | 421 comments Would Many Bloody Returns by Charlaine Harris work for 1 and The Cider House Rules by John Irving work for 2?

Is cider considered something you need heat for?


message 53: by Ann A (new)

Ann A (readerann) | 1091 comments I'm pretty sure these are o.k, but just want to double-check!

1. Ella Minnow Pea (as in pea soup or mashed peas)
2. The Lemon Tree: An Arab, a Jew, and the Heart of the Middle East (lemonade, sliced lemon in drinks)

mstan | 868 comments Jennifer N (#52) and Ann A (#53) - OK! Jennifer, I consider cider to be a little like wine (also asked about earlier in this thread) - does not need to be heated to be drunk at home.

Thanks!

Debra (debra_t) Would I Am the Cheese work for book 2?

Kim (goodreadscomkimber) | 708 comments Another question...At The Sign Of The Sugared Plum - can I use that for 'sugared plum' which is a baked dessert (for book 2) or just the 'plum' part for book 1? And if I could use it for either/or could I also use that one book as fulfilling that one task?

Thanks!

Becky (ragamuffin_child) | 67 comments Would chocolate be a cooked food or uncooked? It's cooked to make it initially, but then we eat it "raw" ;)


message 59: by mstan (new)

mstan | 868 comments Debra (#56) - OK

Becky (#58) - see post 3. I accept chocolate for either option.

Kim (#57) - From the description on wikipedia, I would say that this fits option 2 - no heat involved. You'll need to read another book for option 1 to fulfil this task (which is a two-book task). Happy reading!

Kim (goodreadscomkimber) | 708 comments Interesting what you found about sugarplums. When I googled I came up with actual recipes that involved baking. Huh. I'll find books to fit this task yet!~ Back to the drawing board.

Yup!

Laurie | 910 comments Is Ghost a la Mode (A Ghost of Granny Apples Mystery, #1) by Sue Ann Jaffarian okay for option 2, since it also has uncooked apples on its cover?


message 64: by mstan (new)

mstan | 868 comments Hi Laurie (#63) - yes, it is ok for either option 1 or option 2.


message 65: by Kara (new)

Kara (karaayako) Regarding Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, aren't those radishes on the cover, so wouldn't that count?

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver

Yes, it would work for the cover sub-option for option 2, but not the title sub-option in either.


message 68: by Kara (new)

Kara (karaayako) Wonderful. Thank you, mstan!

Cindy AL (cangelmd) | 645 comments Ice cream, cooked or not?? There are also blueberries, so I could use them too. Aftertaste A Novel in Five Courses by Meredith Mileti

Hi Cindy, this is fine for option 2.


message 71: by Stesse (new)

Stesse | 270 comments Would Tomatoland How Modern Industrial Agriculture Destroyed Our Most Alluring Fruit by Barry Estabrook work for Option 1, because tomatoes could be eaten cooked or raw?

Thanks!
