Celebrating #GalentinesDay for several days lately, knitting together and visiting tearooms with @Talewaggingreads , a dear old friend, and a new one. #FeelintheLove @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @eggs
Look at Barnes & Noble with the sassy social media! 🤣 Also, can totally relate to getting to the good part way too late in the evening.
pickA charming little book intertwining stories about the author's family history of perseverance through challenging times, recipes from her mother and grandmother, and her reflections on her own challenges when she was laid off during an economic recession. I found it heartfelt and lovely. A cozy winter read. This was my January #Bookspin @TheAromaofBooks
pickI adore Moomin so I couldn‘t resist grabbing this cookbook for #foodandlit this month. There are cute illustrations and some good recipes. Can‘t go wrong with Moomin! 4⭐️ 50 points 🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮

My score: 24/75. Clearly my cookie game needs some work lol
Top 3 favorites 😍
1. Peanut butter blossom cookies
2. Spritz (or shooter cookies as they were called when I was younger)
3. Sugar cookies
I made pyttipanna (or pyttipannu) using the Moomins cookbook 😁: it's fish, potatoes and onions fried together, and served with beetroot, gherkins and a fried egg. Easy comfort food!
(French readers will notice a spelling mistake on the page 🙄)

pickThis book was a great read for me at this time as my mother is her her final hours or days. The suggestions from the mother are pretty good. I don‘t think many people are ready to say goodbye that final time. The feelings of loss are real. They never go away, but they get easier as we accept our new normal. Some of the suggestions actually made me chuckle. However, many of them will be used in the coming days. 4.5/5
Two more recipes crossed off my #Mtcookbook list!
Cincinnati chili is always a hit!
The Korean Fire Chicken was okay, but to be honest I didn‘t follow the broiling instructions. Next time I will because I‘m sure it makes a difference. Also, this brand of gochujang is a tad too sweet for my taste.
pickWhat's in the Garden by Marianne Berkes (2013) is a nonfiction rhyming book that talks about all the different foods that can be grown in a garden. It also gives recipes that you can make with the ingredients from your garden! It has detailed and realistic images of children with the food they picked from the garden. This is a really good book for younger kids to learn about plants, gardening, and how food is grown!
