Reading my book and being snubbed by my 🐈⬛ (blending into the chair on the left). Her dad is out of town and he‘s her primary human. So daughter and I just get attitude when he‘s gone.

“Fiji is like the world you thought you left behind—full of political perversity, racial fear, economic woes, and Australian tourists looking for inexpensive salad bowls (though why anyone would think a race of Queequegs, proud of their cannibal past, might excel at making salad bowls is not only a cultural mystery, but proof that tourists will believe almost anything as long as they are comfortable).”
Cooking on the slope of a volcano on Savo Island in the Soloman Islands. The eggs they refer to are megapode eggs.
The author hasn‘t made it to #Samoa yet, but this was very interesting food. #foodandlit @Catsandbooks
The author is still in #Australia, so this isn‘t food from #Samoa. Nonetheless I feel compelled to post the dishes eaten in northeastern Australia: flyswisher stew, fried barramundi, snorkers and googs, roast chook. To be honest I haven‘t a clue what these are. #foodandlit @Catsandbooks
Awesome book coincidence reading this book for #foodandlit #Samoa and it crossed over into my reading Dracula for #hauntedshelf #blackcatcrew

This is hilarious if true! Australian Littens: is this true?

When I posted the first part of this paragraph a short while ago, and I complained about how petty the author had been already in this book, I hadn‘t even finished reading the whole paragraph. And he proves my point! He‘s petty yet again! A period after the word cathedral would have been appropriate. Then he belittles his literary compatriots back home. If this bad attitude doesn‘t end quickly I may bail. #foodandljt #Samoa @Catsandbooks
The author is hiking in the woods of New Zealand. This would be a lovely quote but for the author‘s pettiness up to this point. He has brutalized the Māori and New Zealanders.
For example: “Others evolved into enormous and complacent specimens, like the spoiled and overfed children I had seen in Auckland…” & “the most terrible aspect … was that the New Zealanders themselves did not seem to know what was happening to them in their decline”

I‘m getting a little head start on #foodandlit with my first book for #Samoa

pickThe ending felt very unsatisfying. The whole book I felt like the ending was going to involve divorce, but the ending didn‘t even involve a proper ending or closure. This book is funny in the way of a Troost book, but it had a much darker tone because, ultimately, this is his addiction and recovery memoir. It‘s actually heartbreaking in some ways, and it‘s hard to put my finger on exactly why.
