Book Description
Can a best friend become a lover without throwing away years of friendship? Sometimes, all love needs is a little courage. Sloane: I know I can be a grumpy bastard, and I'm not the easiest man to deal with, but you'd think my best friend would trust me. We don't keep secrets, even about our love lives. That's what I thought until I found out Dean was seeing someone. I don't like it...don't ask me why. But there's more to the story than I thought, and now I have to deal with feelings I didn't even know were possible for me. Dean: I would not recommend being in love with your straight best friend. I met Sloane in Basic Training and fell head over heels. Years later and a deployment under each of our belts, it's still not easy. All I've wanted for six years, six fucking years, was Sloane. Maybe it's time I moved on. I'll never have the same feelings for anyone else, but I'll never get what I want from Sloane, right? After one slightly drunken night, will Dean and Sloane ever be able to get back to what they'd been, or has everything between them changed forever?

But, for someone who has lived with their parents, in their own room, for 18 years, having a college roommate can be an entirely new experience, especially if that roommate is the roommate from hell.

This comprehensive guide to everything bad in a roommate is designed to show you how to do just that, providing you with a detailed plan to take on, confront, and handle your problem roommate.

Licking the Spoon
Author: Candace Walsh
Publisher: Seal Press
ISBN: 1580054714
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
Recipes and cookbooks, meals and mouthfuls have framed the way Candace Walsh sees the world for as long as she can remember, from her frosting-spackled childhood to her meat-eschewing college years to her post-college phase as a devoted Martha Stewart's Entertaining disciple. In Licking the Spoon, Walsh tells how, lacking role models in her early life, she turned to cookbook authors real and fictitious (Betty Crocker, Martha Stewart, Mollie Katzen, Daniel Boulud, and more) to learn, unlearn, and redefine her own womanhood. Through the lens of food, Walsh recounts her life’s journey-from unhappy adolescent to straight-identified wife and mother to divorcée in a same-sex relationship—and she throws in some dishy revelations, a-ha moments, take-home tidbits, and mouth-watering recipes for good measure. A surprising and rambunctiously liberating tale of cooking and eating, loving and being loved, Licking the Spoon is the story of how—accompanied by pivotal recipes, cookbooks, culinary movements, and guides—one woman learned that you can not only recover but blossom after a comically horrible childhood if you just have the right recipes, a little luck, and an appetite for life's next meal.
