Mouth Wide Open - A Cook and His Appetite

John Thorn, Matt Lewis Thorne

Sinopse

Ever since his first book, Simple Cooking, and its acclaimed successors, Outlaw Cook, Serious Pig, and Pot on the Fire, John Thorne has been hailed as one of the most provocative, passionate, and accessible food writers at work today. In Mouth WideOpen, his fifth collection, he has prepared a feast for the senses and intellect, charting a cook's journey from ingredient to dish in illuminating essays that delve into the intimate pleasures of pistachios, the Scottish burr of real marmalade, how the Greeks made a Greek salad, the (hidden) allure of salt anchovies, and exploring the uncharted territory of improvised breakfasts and resolutely idiosyncratic midnight snacks. Most of all, his inimitable warmth, humor, and generosity of spirit inspire us to begin our own journey of discovery in the kitchen and in the age-old comfort and delight of preparing food.

Best Old Folks Jokes Ever

Chantelle Grace

I woke up this morning and forgot which direction the sun rises from... then it dawned on me.

 

I heard a funny joke about a boomerang earlier. I'm sure it will come back to me.

 


Aging gets old after a while. Pun intended. Gone are the days when you can remember why you went into the kitchen, what medications you are taking for what, and whether you hurt your neck doing something amazing or you just slept funny (and it's not really funny because, quite honestly, you don't know if your neck will ever work properly again).


 


When you need to find humor in the not-somarvellous life changes, pick up Best Old Folks Jokes Ever and chuckle along with everyone else who is growing older. That's literally everyone. A little laughter can go a long way in accepting the inevitable with gratitude and grace.
