Welcome to Litsy!

As far as histories about fish go, this is top notch. But it‘s, well, a history about fish. This book covers the economic history of the market for cod, starting with the Basque of Spain through cod‘s depletion in our lifetime. We learn a lot about the cod itself and countless ancient and newer recipes for all things cod. Having toured the ancient Hanseatic Museum in Norway, I expected a lot more detail about the economics of cod. I just felt ⬇️

I doubt I‘ve ever tried to read six books at the same time. But here I am giving it a try! It‘s too hard to pass up a good reading challenge! And I haven‘t even started my books I‘ve picked out for #Authoramonth this month.

The blog I got this recipe from says it‘s a Greenlandic recipe, but didn‘t provide a whole lot of further detail. I overcooked the fish (maybe because it was also was without its skin…sorry), but the sauce and vegetables were so good. I‘ll definitely be making it again.

I‘m nowhere near finishing the book, but I hope to get through it quickly before moving on to Peru. #FoodAndLit

I‘m really enjoying these novellas about the #Greenland missing persons department. I hope I am find more that have been translated to English. #FoodAndLit

Tuukula slid a plate onto the table - fried egg with mushrooms from a glass jar, heaped on top of a piece of square toast, buttered thickly.

#FoodAndLit #Greenland was a challenge on the food side, so I decided to recreate this breakfast from the tagged book. Yummy! Probably more suitable to someone who needs to hunt outside near the Arctic Circle than someone who sits at a desk, but a nice treat on a Monday morning.

I loved everything about this book. Living in Greenland was hard, and they had to be hard to survive. It took years for ships and news from Europe to arrive. The book follows the lives of a brother and sister, and I read it like a soap opera. Ooh, what is Gunnar going to do next? It had suspense, affairs, romance, revenge, and death (Guiding Light didn't have starvation). The best part was the storytelling. #FoodandLit @Texreader @Catsandbooks

I‘m squeezing in one more book for #Greenland #foodandlit because my library hold finally came in. @Catsandbooks
