An Introduction to Memorable Characters
Craig Johnson is somewhat unique in that he follows the old adage, 'write what you know about'. He lives in Wyoming and does such a skillful job in describing the locations that it is difficult to separate the real places from those he created--sort of like Lake Woebegone. I enjoyed all his Longmire books well before anyone thought to make them into TV shows, and have never watched any of the latter for fear of tarnishing my memories of the books. Craig Johnson for President--won't give the people what they want, just what they need! Has MY vote!

This book has become my first resource of all the100 + cookbooks I own.
My friend is a really gourmet cook who routinely uses ingredients I have never purchased and am not even sometimes familiar with. She said this book was her first and most important resource, so even though I already have far more cookbooks than can ever fit in my kitchen even if I removed all the pots and pans, I simply had to order this one, too. I am glad I did. It is well written, has extensive information about the product such as diagrams showing the cuts of meat and then recipes that give appropriate preparation methods and so on. I like the way the index is organized, and will never again purchase a lovely country church regional cookbook because the indexes are unuseable, with computerized entries just as they were turned in, instead of being categorized for usefulness (i.e., 'apple pie' recipes located in various places, such as under the 'S's', for 'Susan's Apple Pie', or under the C's for 'Caramel Apple Pie, etc.) Joy of Cooking index is not like that at all, but is a kind of 'double entry' system, with listings under 'beef' and then also under 'meats' (or poultry, or fish). The 'test' recipes I checked out for German food are almost exactly the way my family made it in Wisconsin--the Pfeffernusse cookie and Sauerbraten recipies look really authentic to me, and based on that, I will assume that all the others are equally well researched. I think this would be the one book to have before any others.

An Imaginative Romp with Smart People Against The System
1 of 1 found this helpful This book was so absorbing and delightful that I read it all in one day. Even if you are not and maybe have never even BEEN to Vermont, you will appreciate the reaction that the radio announcer had when he made a politically incorrect comment on the air and subsequently lost his job. Hooking up with a shy computer geek, they broadcast many short (but unlicensed) little programs, praising the local sports teams and high school athletes, etc., and giving local news that everyone enjoyed. Becoming incensed about the waste of state funds for the governor's pet project, they devised some suprises for all that took place during the Governor's Grand Opening...which forced them to remove themselves abruptly and relocate where they wouldn't be found by angry and righteous law enforcement personnel. Any more, and I'd spoil it. Read it! Any American who values their freedoms and enjoys a bit of self-sufficiency will find themselves laughing aloud.
