The Antidote by Karen Russell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A major undertaking by Karen Russell. I knew practically nothing about the Dust Bowl and I really enjoyed this story set in a fictional town. I liked each of the characters and their unique perspective. I liked how visual and all around immersed the reader became in the story, it was a full five-sense experience to read it. I really enjoyed the touch of magical realism as well, what a unique and lovely way to bring some history into the story. Excellent book.

The Bookshop of Hidden Dreams by Karen Hawkins
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Sweet story of this family each with their own slight magic. This one is a bit more historical but I love the feeling these stories come with. Light, sweet and tender.

“I believe in kindness and also in mischief. also in singing. especially when singing is not necessarily prescribed.”
don’t love this one, but alas. I keep showing up.

“Still, what I want in my life is to be willing to be dazzled, to cast aside the weight of facts and maybe even to float a little above this difficult world.”
terrible spacing on the lettering in this one, I know.

“I know that my kindness hurts me but I will continue to chase it not because I am naive but because my actions define me.”

Some older paintings I still like. I like seeing my evolution too.

100 Dishes – Dish 37 – Panzanella
My kiddo said this was the best dish I cooked so far. And of course it required no cooking at all. I didn’t have cucumbers so I used avocado instead and I also used balsamic vinegar instead of sherry vinegar and stuck with no garlic this time around. It was incredibly delicious. Big hit in my house. Will have to cook it again when it’s tomato season and the tomatoes are even more delicious.

100 Dishes – Dish 36 – Seriously, The Best Broccoli of Your Life
I was very skeptical of if this really would be the best broccoli of my life but here’s what I will tell you: it really was!! It was light and fluffy and truly delicious! And we did ours with no garlic even.
