Remember when ...? Remember when a massive horse clip-clopped to your curb, pulling a huge wagon full of clear, glass, bottles of milk? Remeber when your days were spent roaming woodlands, climbing sway-in the-breeze trees, and discovering mysterious things? In the 1940's, time was not an issue except to, "get home in time for dinner," and "get back home before dark." If these recollections are stored in your memory bank, here is your chance to relive those carefree days and double your pleasure by experiencing them with a set of mischievous twins: one boy, one girl. For those who did not experience such childhood freedom in later decades, here is an opportunity to enjoy a totally new world, a wonderland where kids got to explore the world around them and learn some valuable lessons along the way. For instance, it's fun to discover mysterious green things hanging in trees, but horrifying to find them loaded with bees.

Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
One week after their eleventh birthday, the Fowl twins--scientist Myles, and Beckett, the force of nature--are left in the care of house security (NANNI) for a single night. In that time they befriend a troll who has clawed his way through the earth's crust to the surface. Unfortunately for the troll, he is being chased by a nefarious nobleman and an interrogating nun, who both need the magical creature for their own gain, as well as a fairy-in-training who has been assigned to protect him. The boys and their new troll best friend escape and go on the run. Along the way they get shot at, kidnapped, buried, arrested, threatened, killed (temporarily), and discover that the strongest bond in the world is not the one forged by covalent electrons in adjacent atoms, but the one that exists between a pair of twins.

Dirt
Author: Bill Buford
Publisher: Vintage

Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 447
Book Description
“You can almost taste the food in Bill Buford’s Dirt, an engrossing, beautifully written memoir about his life as a cook in France.” —The Wall Street Journal What does it take to master French cooking? This is the question that drives Bill Buford to abandon his perfectly happy life in New York City and pack up and (with a wife and three-year-old twin sons in tow) move to Lyon, the so-called gastronomic capital of France. But what was meant to be six months in a new and very foreign city turns into a wild five-year digression from normal life, as Buford apprentices at Lyon’s best boulangerie, studies at a legendary culinary school, and cooks at a storied Michelin-starred restaurant, where he discovers the exacting (and incomprehensibly punishing) rigueur of the professional kitchen. With his signature humor, sense of adventure, and masterful ability to bring an exotic and unknown world to life, Buford has written the definitive insider story of a city and its great culinary culture.
