Welcome to Litsy!

While is was in library school, I made desserts at this tearoom in a tiny Indiana town for one of my jobs. I could make whatever I wanted as long as I made enough for 250 people a day, made enough strawberry pizza (our specialty), and two lemon meringue pies on Thursdays for this one older customer. I just used a recipe from it this weekend! #cookbooklove #jennybakes

I loved this book of essays about the meaning of home, especially as Hariharan travels the globe and examines political and social issues in depth.

"Home is like family. You can't bear it when others can see their warts and point them out. But you, you can see them bigger and uglier than they are. And because home is like family, you can take its better features for granted.

"But data does not have a human face. Nor doesn't have a voice that rises in anger and breaks with sadness."

"Once there was; or once I saw, I loved. And later? Now? Cities don't stand still, even for old flames. When you meet a city again, there is an awkward reunion. You have to relearn its body, see it with two competing eyes, past and present."

Starting a new read on a Friday!!!! 😱🎉❤️🍺📚
