25.7. Mstan's Task: Cooking With Fire and Back to the Basics 1. Tomatoland: How Modern Industrial Agriculture Destroyed Our Most Alluring Fruit by Barry Estabrook (224 p)
I love to roast tomatoes in the oven with EVOO, salt, pepper, and sometimes a splash of balsamic vinegar. Tasty in spaghetti sauce, chili, and on their own! (Approved in help thread)
2. Jeneration X: One Reluctant Adult's Attempt to Unarrest Her Arrested Development; Or, Why It's Never Too Late for Her Dumb Ass to Learn Why Froot Loops Are Not for Dinner by Jen Lancaster (352 p)
Has cereal (Froot Loops) on the cover.
30.2 Sassafrass's task: “What I want to be” meets “What did I become”...
1. I REALLY wanted to be James Bond. A blonde, girly James Bond, but Bond nevertheless. Alas, it’s very difficult to become a fictional character! I read James Bond in Never Dream of Dying by Raymond Benson (320 p).
Raymond Benson is a GRA.
2. I ended up becoming a “plan-gineer” (combo planner / engineer) in the transportation field – aka, a businesswoman. I read Breaking the Rules by Barbara Taylor Bradford (432 p) which has several key characters who are businesspeople. I realized in this challenge that there is a dearth of books with female engineers or planners as the main character (excepting bodice-ripping romances, and even then it’s thin.) I’m thinking I need to start writing!
PS – Another great set of tasks. Love food, love my career (even if it’s not quite what I expected).
