Welcome to Litsy!

Egyptian lentil soup today
Topped with garlic and the failed remnants of my falafel!
I tried so hard to make the falafel but alas they just wouldn‘t stay together. The salvaged bits made a nice crunchy addition to the soup though 🤣

#WeeklyForecast

Finish the tagged #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead and continue reading Wuthering Heights #WanderingThroughWutheringHeights #PemberLittens

I want to finish The Yips and hopefully also Mantel Pieces

I want to read Death on the Nile the group read for #foodandlit #Egypt and I want to start Pinocchio #ChildrensClassicRead

This slice of life novel is like living for awhile in post-war Oslo with family and old friends. While there is a plot and a few subplots, they are subtle. The real power of the novel is in the characters and in how their lives intersect and influence each other. A definite recommend for anyone looking for a slower pace of life for a little while.

I read this for #foodandlit #egypt and chose it after listening to the A Strong Sense Of Place podcast. It was not what I expected. It takes place over three timelines in Egypt regarding a Jewish scroll. The temple has hired a Muslim watchman for 1,000 years. The job has been inherited. It‘s a pick, because the writing is good, and the storylines flow, but it was not my favorite story/book.

I keep forgetting to post the koshari I made for #FoodandLit Egypt 🇪🇬 There were a lot of elements to the dish, which made it take a long time to make. But delicious! Close to a curry, it was very comforting. I think I would make a simplified version of this again!

Today I made some hawawshi for #FoodAndLit #Egypt

I didn‘t make the bread, we used shop bought pitta.
But these were very tasty! We just had them with some lettuce :)

Tuna mechado and Filipino bbq chips. Yes I‘m very late in trying my food from the #Philippines for #foodandlit because no one else in the family found it appetizing. It‘s yummy. So I‘m on my own tonight and glad of it for this meal. @Catsandbooks @Butterfinger

I hate going to a bookstore on the spur of the moment but not remembering what books I want or need for a challenge. So I‘ve started this list to update periodically. I‘ve researched books that look interesting to me for #foodandlit and #readingafrica2022. Thought I‘d share the list because some of these are for hard-to-find countries. @Butterfinger @Catsandbooks @BarbaraBB @Librarybelle

I can't decide. Memoir vs. #OwnVoices I also have Borges, but I am not sure if it is Ficciones translated or not. How I love this challenge!! #FoodandLit @Catsandbooks @Texreader

#FoodandLit is grateful to @IndoorDame for finding this awesome list for February #BookChallenge @Texreader @Catsandbooks @Butterfinger
