Author: John White
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0615189717
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 86
Book Description
In February of 2005 John "Fat Jack" White was sailing along pretty well. Publishing the odd recipe in the Pine River Times of Bayfield, Colorado he had a cookbook about ready to go to print. Then at his son's basketball game he felt odd. Next morning he found out he'd been having a heart attack and after some quality time on the operating table and in ICU the Docs said "Change yo' ways, Sinner!" So in the interest of continued living he set about changing everything he knew about cooking in the vein (pun intended) of low fat/low salt so we can all eat really well without falling over dead. There's over 30 recipes here and they all taste great, have even been kid tested, approved and eaten with relish. Or sometimes ketchup. Maybe the best part is the irreverent sense of humor that bubbles up in each recipe with a story of how each recipe came to be or some sage advice on fine livin'. Great taste, healthy eatin', lots of fun and no more heart attacks! What could beat that?

Fat Man on the Left
Author: Lionel Rolfe
Publisher: Lionel Rolfe
ISBN: 1879395010
Category : Authors, American
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
In 16 compelling essays about American culture & politics, this author, a scion of the world renowned musical Menuhin family, mixes it up with royalty, revolutionaries, murderers, celebrities & visionaries in a journey that juxtaposes his uncle - classical violinist Yehudi Menuhin - & Frank Zappa. For four decades the author has roamed the underground, writing extensively on his own unique & endearing vision. He has written for & worked at the Los Angeles Free Press, the Los Angeles Times, the Daily News, the Washington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle & Psychology Today. His work is often nationally syndicated & anthologized in important books such as Unknown California: Classic & Contemporary Writing on California Culture, Society, History & Politics (Macmillan) & On Bohemia: The Code of the Self-Exiled (Transaction). The author's eclectic musical world includes giants like Woody Guthrie, Janis Joplin, Darius Milhaud, Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Gregor Piatigorsky, Joseph Szigeti, Earl "Fatha" Hines, Arnold Schoenberg, Sonny Terry, Brownie McGee & Hoyt Axton. But music isn't everything. As author of the classic Literary L. A. (Chronicle Books) & In Search of Literary L. A. (California Classics Books), he ranges among such nobles as Mark Twain, Truman Capote, Jack Kerouac, Upton Sinclair, Thomas Mann, Howard Fast, Malcolm Lowry, Carl Sandburg & his own godmother, Willa Cather. As a journalist, he has written with intimate knowledge about Cleveland Amory, Herb Caen, Warren Hinckle & General Harrison Gray Otis, founder of the Los Angeles Times. His political coverage is massive, ranging from Abba Eban to Ronald Regan to Jim Garrison & the Kennedys. In the meanwhile, folks like Ed Asner, Ed Sullivan & Oliver Stone populate his Hollywood narrative. These tales collectively rip the masks off the politics, culture & society of the last four decades of the 20th century. Readers will meet some strange, shadowy figures, but also some beautiful visionaries.
