Book Description
Attn Twilight movie fans! It's time there was a good parody! The Twilight Saga has been the subject of a few previous parodies -but I hope you will find this version unique. I wanted to make a parody that was super funny AND clean - one that was great, but wasn't in the gutter! So this one has no curse words or crude content! This is 99% based off lines & scenes from the movies, so if you're wondering about needing to have read the books - you don't! There is some stuff from Midnight Sun, including Edward's perspective and his worrying about showing his teeth or Ella being clumy, but that's it. Tedwin Collins and his fridgitarian family members, including 4 adopted siblings (Alith, Jackson, Dimmit & Rose) reside in Ports, Oregon - a small town where they can live under the witness protection program with minimal interference, playing baseball & running their Italian ice cream franchise, Cold Skin Creamery. Growing up in the mafia was hard for Tedwin, and he's glad that his dad (Carlo) and his mom (Escusme), fled that life and came to America so Carlo could pursue his medical degree. The entire family lives a "frigitarian" lifestyle: meaning they only eat stuff that is refrigerated or frozen - they never eat food that has been heated or comes out of the oven, making them different than other Italian families. Everything is going fine until a girl named Portabella (Ella) moves into town, a girl who loves to eat jalapeno pizza - so much so, in fact - that it runs through her veins. Tedwin doesn't know if he can have a friendship - or any kind of relationship - with this girl who smells like forbidden food. Tedwin is embarrassed about his past - he doesn't want to be... a MOBSTER. He also can't read her mind, which is very frustrating and new. His sister, Alith, assures him that she and Ella will be great friends. and that he and Ella will be together in the future. Jason Dark-Grey, Ella’s childhood best friend (bestest, brightest and BUFFEST ), also cares about Ella - much to Tedwin's chagrin. He turns into an animal, too - but not the one you think. He tries to convince Ella that eating so much junk food is bad for her blood sugar levels, reminding her that she might need her toes someday, but she is convinced that she can scarf down anything she wants: pizza, ice cream, Doritos, etc. - and her figure stays the same. However, something she eats in 'Baking Dough - Part 2' will change that and the lives of everyone she cares about. What makes Tedwin’s throat burn like a white-hot branding iron? What was the terrible fate of Mr. Fluffkins the chinchilla? Who has a misunderstanding about Tedwin's stuffed animal collection? What does Jason beg Ella not to do? What was Ella born to be? Who had a human snack out in the woods? The answer to these burning questions and more is what you will have to read to find out!

Paul Hollywood's Bread
Author: Paul Hollywood
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1408841223
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
Paul Hollywood is Britain's favourite master baker. His new book is all about bread - how to make it and how to use it. But while it's all very well making a lovely loaf of bread, can you guarantee that it won't be wasted? You know those times when you have a lovely crusty loaf, fresh from the oven, and you have a horrible feeling that after the initial excitement is over, half of it's going to get pushed aside and not eaten...? Well, maybe it's time to bring bread back into mealtimes for real. Not only does Paul teach you exactly how to make a variety of breads, but for each one there is a spin-off recipe that shows you how to make a fantastic meal of it. The book has six chapters, each with five bread recipes - plus the spin-off recipes for main courses. Not only are Paul's recipes delicious but they are also foolproof, with comprehensive step-by-step photographs. Try your hand at a basic white bloomer, which can become a savoury picnic loaf; stilton and bacon rolls, which are excellent served with celery soup; fluffy crumpets, which become the base for eggs Benedict; flatbreads, which are a natural pairing with chickpea masala; ciabatta, which the Italians have traditionally used as a base for tomatoey panzanella; pizza bases, which can become home-made fig, Parma ham and Gorgonzola pizzas; or white chocolate and raspberry bread, which makes for the best summer pudding you've ever tasted. Tying in with the BBC2 television series, Paul Hollywood's Bread is all that you could want from a book and more. Get baking!

Centering Anishinaabeg Studies
Author: Jill Doerfler
Publisher: MSU Press
ISBN: 1609173538
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 710
Book Description
For the Anishinaabeg people, who span a vast geographic region from the Great Lakes to the Plains and beyond, stories are vessels of knowledge. They are bagijiganan, offerings of the possibilities within Anishinaabeg life. Existing along a broad narrative spectrum, from aadizookaanag (traditional or sacred narratives) to dibaajimowinan (histories and news)—as well as everything in between—storytelling is one of the central practices and methods of individual and community existence. Stories create and understand, survive and endure, revitalize and persist. They honor the past, recognize the present, and provide visions of the future. In remembering, (re)making, and (re)writing stories, Anishinaabeg storytellers have forged a well-traveled path of agency, resistance, and resurgence. Respecting this tradition, this groundbreaking anthology features twenty-four contributors who utilize creative and critical approaches to propose that this people’s stories carry dynamic answers to questions posed within Anishinaabeg communities, nations, and the world at large. Examining a range of stories and storytellers across time and space, each contributor explores how narratives form a cultural, political, and historical foundation for Anishinaabeg Studies. Written by Anishinaabeg and non-Anishinaabeg scholars, storytellers, and activists, these essays draw upon the power of cultural expression to illustrate active and ongoing senses of Anishinaabeg life. They are new and dynamic bagijiganan, revealing a viable and sustainable center for Anishinaabeg Studies, what it has been, what it is, what it can be.
