Simple food for the Good life... cheap and healthy eating...

[Guest guest]

OOOH>> SPeaking of cheap but healthy eating! I found a new used

bookstore in my neighborhood, WWW.booksforamerica.org , it's a non

profit org, with a good mission, so I can feel good about my book

addiction... PLUS>>

 

I found this book for $2, and immediately thought of this group..

I haven't read it yet (got it last night) but in case anyone wants to

look for it at the library..

 

Simple Food for the Good LIfe

and alternative cookbook

with a collection of EASY RECIPES that have evolved from necessity or

available garden produce

 

(this is my favorite part...)

intended for the use of people of moderate fortune who do not affect

magnificence in their style of living

by THAT FRUGAL HOUSEWIFE

Helen Nearing.

 

 

 

also.. the first thing the author says in her opening message to the

reader is a a mention of why she uses so many quotes.. (PT< I Hope

you see this! LOL! And Bron too.. and all you other fellow lovers of

words!!!)

 

" There are some people who read too much: the bibliobibuli. I know

some who are constantly drunk on books, as other men are drunk on

religion. " ~ H.L. Mencken

 

That frugal housewife goes on to say " I am a library inebriate; I

get drunk on pithy quotations. If someone else has said it better,

and earlier, why not make these sources available to you, gentle

reader? Why not use their choice expressions instead of my own bald

words?

I make no further excuses for sharing with you myprized collection of

other authors' works, which I haev lapped up avidly and found so

delicious. "

 

 

needless to say I can't wait to dive into this book! =)
