What is the use of a recipe? A recipe is a teaching tool, a guide, a point of departure. Follow it exactly the first time you make the dish. As you make it again and again, you will change it, massage it to fit your own taste and aesthetic. Eventually it will become your own personal recipe - Jacques Pepin
Time for the Book Blogger Hop, hosted by Jennifer at Crazy for Books.
This week's question: "Where is your favorite place to read? Curled up on the sofa, in bed, in the garden?" My favorite place to read is in the bathtub.
my fave place used to be the same, but the library gets mighty pissed when the books you return have those nasty curled up water damaged pages. so these days, it's the comfy couch for me!
I was just talking with my friend and co-owner of our personal library this morning about that subject. I'm thinking about getting an e-reader, and we were speculating how long it would take me to drop it in the water. Over the course of more than 30 years of reading, I think I've only dropped two or three books in the water. The worst water-damaged book I ever had came when a lawn sprinkler went wild and sprayed through the window into my house for several hours - it was the sixth Harry Potter, and I couldn't save it. Finished reading it all curly and wavy, but bought a new copy for the collection.
