Cooking for Dykes
Author: Jeanne Savage
Publisher: Dog Ear Publishing
ISBN: 1457502763
Category : Gay wit and humor
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
Be prepared for the use of gayspeak, innuendo and stereotypical hoo-ha to bring you into the fun. Is it a cookbook? Is it a memoir, An essay? A how-to book? A collection of short stories? Yes. With a mixture of fact and fiction and an I'll do-it-myself attitude, the author drew the cartoons, designed the cover and even rated it herself. Told they only rate movies, her response was, "Who says?" To jump start the neophyte in the kitchen, recipes like "Butchy-Femme Burger" are included in an assortment of cooking-from-scratch edibles. Was this book written to create a new category on library shelves? Not exactly. The format may look a little strange but you'll get used to it. As the author is quick to query, "Did you expect me to write straight?" Jeanne hopes you will enjoy Cooking For Dykes as much as she enjoyed putting it together. Jeanne Savage quit high school at age 16 and job hopped from switchboard operator to messenger, clerk, typist, artist, waitress and showgirl. It was when she worked as a nurse's aide on Long Island that she asked herself, "42 jobs later, have I learned enough?" When the answer came back "No," Jeanne enrolled in college, worked full-time and graduated at 53, becoming a registered nurse. For six years, the author was head nurse at a mental facility. She then retired and started chasing one of her first loves, art. She took a few courses, sold paintings and served on the board of directors of a Cape Cod art guild. Has she learned enough yet? Probably not, as Jeanne has joined writers' groups on the Cape. The critiquing has helped her considerably. She feels that with the help of folks at these gatherings, another author has come out of the closet.

BACHELOR 101: Cooking + Cleaning = Closing
Author: Jamie Reidy
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0578034638
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
More than 30 idiot-proof recipes broken down into a step by step process so simple even a bachelor can understand. ("Open oven door. Slide out rack.") The reader will also learn important rules for getting his apartment date-ready. ("Back to the underside of the toilet seat, the cleaning equivalent of diving in front of a slap shot. Grab the wet sponge and flip it over so that the Astroturf side is the active one. Start scrubbing. Might not be a bad idea to take a page out of Michael Keaton's handbook from "Mr. Mom" and place a clothespin over your nose.") Lastly, the bachelor gets a pre-flight checklist to ensure that he is a "go" for his date. ("Ears. Like an ambidextrous miner, arm yourself with Q-tips and go drilling. Repeat with clean swabs until the tips emerge from your ears still white. Note: For those older than 35, I hate to break it to you but you are a 2:1 shot for ear hair. Snip, snip. Sob, sob.")

Underestimated
Author: J. B. Handley
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1510766375
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
The incredibly moving and inspiring story about a quest to finally be heard. In Underestimated: An Autism Miracle, Generation Rescue’s cofounder J.B. Handley and his teenage son Jamison tell the remarkable story of Jamison’s journey to find a method of communication that allowed him to show the world that he was a brilliant, wise, generous, and complex individual who had been misunderstood and underestimated by everyone in his life. Jamison’s emergence at the age of seventeen from his self-described “prison of silence” took place over a profoundly emotional and dramatic twelve-month period that is retold from his father’s perspective. The book reads like a spy thriller while allowing the reader to share in the complex emotions of both exhilaration and anguish that accompany Jamison’s journey for him and his family. Once Jamison’s extraordinary story has been told, Jamison takes over the narrative to share the story from his perspective, allowing the world to hear from someone who many had dismissed and cast aside as incapable. Jamison’s remarkable transformation challenges the conventional wisdom surrounding autism, a disability impacting 1 in 36 Americans. Many scientists still consider nonspeakers with autism—a full 40 percent of those on the autism spectrum—to be “mentally retarded.” Is it possible that the experts are wrong about several million people? Are all the nonspeakers like Jamison? Underestimated: An Autism Miracle will touch your heart, inspire you, remind you of the power of love, and ultimately leave you asking tough questions about how many more Jamisons might be waiting for their chance to be freed from their prison of silence, too. And, for the millions of parents of children with autism, the book offers a detailed description of a communication method that may give millions of people with autism back their voice.

The Recipe Reader
Author: Janet Floyd
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN:
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Over the last decade there has been an intense and widespread interest in the writing and publishing of cookery books; yet there remains surprisingly little contextualized analysis of the recipe as a generic form. This essay collection asserts that the recipe in all its cultural and textual contexts - from the quintessential embodiment of lifestyle choices to the reflection of artistic aspiration - is a complex, distinct and important form of cultural expression. In this volume, contributors address questions raised by the recipe, its context, its cultural moment and mode of expression. Examples are drawn from such diverse areas as: nineteenth and twentieth-century private publications, official government documents, campaigning literature, magazines, and fictions as well as cookery writers themselves, cookbooks and TV cookery. In subjecting the recipe to close critical analysis, The Recipe Reader serves to move the study of this cultural form forward. It will interest scholars of literature, popular culture, social history and women's studies as well as food historians and professional food writers. Written in an accessible style, this collection of essays expands the range of writers under consideration, and brings new perspectives, contexts and arguments into the existing field of debate about cookery writing.

You Aren't What You Eat
Author: Steven Poole
Publisher: Signal
ISBN: 0771069030
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
We have become obsessed by food: where it comes from, where to buy it, how to cook it and—most absurdly of all—how to eat it. Our televisions and newspapers are filled with celebrity chefs, latter-day priests whose authority and ambition range from the small scale (what we should have for supper) to large-scale public schemes designed to improve our communal eating habits. When did the basic human imperative to feed ourselves mutate into such a multitude of anxieties about provenance, ethics, health, lifestyle and class status? And since when did the likes of Jamie Oliver and Nigella Lawson gain the power to transform our kitchens and dining tables into places where we expect to be spiritually sustained? In this subtle and erudite polemic, Steven Poole argues that we're trying to fill more than just our bellies when we pick up our knives and forks, and that we might be a lot happier if we realised that sometimes we should throw away the colour supplements and open a tin of beans.

“A page-turner of a mystery. A loveable sleuth. A real winner!”—Janet Evanovich Serial dater and greeting-card artist Wollie Shelley goes undercover in a media-training company suspected of video piracy, but when a dead body appears on the company’s property, she’s caught up in a conspiracy that goes way beyond some stolen DVDs. Wollie Shelley isn’t happy about taking the job as a “social coach” at MediaRex, but the FBI makes her an offer she can’t refuse. If she agrees to infiltrate the company, they’ll guarantee that her schizophrenic brother will have a home at the federally subsidized halfway house he’s come to love. So Wollie launches into teaching three foreign celebrities how to cope with the customs of Beverly Hills, improve their English, and become Oprah-ready. And when a coyote-chewed corpse appears in the MediaRex compound, Wollie realizes that her colleagues are concealing some serious secrets of their own.
