Will It Waffle?
Author: Daniel Shumski
Publisher: Workman Publishing
ISBN: 0761176462
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
How many great ideas begin with a nagging thought in the middle of the night that should disappear by morning, but doesn’t? For Daniel Shumski, it was: Will it waffle? Hundreds of hours, countless messes, and 53 perfected recipes later, that answer is a resounding: Yes, it will! Steak? Yes! Pizza? Yes! Apple pie? Emphatically yes. And that’s the beauty of being a waffle iron chef—waffling food other than waffles is not just a novelty but an innovation that leads to a great end product, all while giving the cook the bonus pleasure of doing something cool, fun, and vaguely nerdy (or giving a reluctant eater—your child, say—a great reason to dig in). Waffled bacon reaches perfect crispness without burned edges, cooks super fast in the two-sided heat source, and leaves behind just the right amount of fat to waffle some eggs. Waffled Sweet Potato Gnocchi, Pressed Potato and Cheese Pierogi, and Waffled Meatballs all end up with dimples just right for trapping their delicious sauces. A waffle iron turns leftover mac ’n’ cheese into Revitalized Macaroni and Cheese, which is like a decadent version of a grilled cheese sandwich with its golden, buttery, slightly crisp exterior and soft, melty, cheesy interior.

From Start to Finish
Author: George J. Brewer
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1462838901
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
From Start to Finish is a series of five autobiographical vignettes of Dr. Brewer’s life. It’s a little different from typical autobiographies in that it doesn’t start in the beginning and chronologically and methodically tell the story of a life. Rather it is divided into five sections that, while they generally proceed in chronological order, are also divided by setting and topics. Thus, the first section, “Tales from Life on the Farm,” while providing information on his childhood, is dominated by his father’s Depression-spawned concept that his boys needed to learn to farm, liberally sprinkled with his other firm belief that by using a little ingenuity, he “could make a million dollars.” Readers should find this group of tales interesting and often humorous. Beyond this they will gain a snapshot of the “rural-poor” in post-Depression America. His father was an avid hunter and fisherman, and as a boy George joined in those activities with great enthusiasm. As with the farm tales, the second part of the book, “Tales from Woods and Waters,” gives a glimpse of something perhaps a little different, a boy’s view of hunting and fishing with his father. As George grew up, he retained an interest in fishing, and a little of that adult interest, with anecdotes mostly about fishing with his dad, are included. As George finished high school, he decided to go to college, even with very little financial resources, stimulated strongly by four older siblings who had gone to college, also in spite of few financial resources. “Tales from Schools and Hospitals,” the third part of the book, is a little about his decision to go to pharmacy school and a little about his college experiences. However, it is much more about his motivations to follow a career path in medicine, about his experiences in medical school, as well as in a residency in internal medicine. Readers will see medical school and medicine from a view they’re not used to, up close and personal, and always with an eye toward the humor in the situation. The fourth part is indeed unique. After residency in internal medicine, Dr. Brewer spent four years in the Stateville Penitentiary, a maximum security prison in Joliet, Illinois. Quickly, it should be said before the reader jumps to the conclusion that they’re reading the words of a convicted felon, that he was a scientist in charge of studies being done there by the University of Chicago, funded by the U.S. Army. The work there involved malaria research, and that work has been a key in the development of antimalarial drugs still used around the world. But what has been done in “Tales from Jail,” besides talk about some fascinating things related to malaria research, is to give the reader a peek inside a prison such as this, and a peek at the inmates who were the project’s nurses, technicians, clerks, and malaria subjects. Dr. Brewer felt he needed one more piece of “tooling” before settling down into the medical research career. He wanted to know more about human genetics. So off to the University of Michigan for a postdoctoral experience in that topic. Finally, all tooled up, he was ready for a real job, and accepted a faculty position at the University of Michigan, where he has been ever since (35 years and counting!). “Tales from the Halls of Science” is the story of his academic medical research career, told in layman’s language. This section provides some perspective on what such a career is like, its up, its downs, the depressing disappointments, the highs of the occasional successes, and what it is that motivates most scientists to work so hard. His career is ending on a series of highs, so those readers who like happy endings should be satisfied. Some of the things a reader can take away from this book are as follows.

Still Complaining
Author: Jim Foster
Publisher: Dundurn
ISBN: 1459720946
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
Once again we are blessed with yet another collection of Jim Foster's ravings. His first book, I hate to complain, but ... with its views on everything from bank mergers to the author's 30-year love affair with Sophia Loren, is being hailed as a classic example - though of what no one is quite sure. Readers will be amazed at the depth of the author's knowledge on just about any subject and his total inability to keep it to himself. What should you do if a comet falls on you at 1000 mph? What are the best pick-up lines for the man or woman looking for romance? Why doesn't Julia Roberts shave her underarms? All this and many other bits of useless information will have Canadians from coast to coast chuckling out loud, popping their eyes in wonder and simply scratching their heads in bewilderment.
