Welcome to Litsy!

Reading the tagged book for #FoodAndLit #Nepal. I've realized I'm awful at taking food pictures so I will probably just grab pictures of the recipes I try off the internet 😆. Nepal Cucumber Salad (Kakra ko Achar) is what I am eating tonight while I continue this book. I left the cucumber skin on because I like it - and it was good. I also didn't put much Chilli on as I'm not big into spicy food.

Started #foodandlit Nepal🇳🇵 with some momos😍, the tagged book, and a Nepali movie, which I loved. It just aired internationally:

I made dal bhat for dinner tonight. It was really good and easy. I just threw it all in the crockpot this morning before work. This will be on repeat for sure. #FoodAndLit #Nepal

If you don‘t mind short stories with zero resolution, this is the book for you. The stories convey a lot about life in #Nepal, but other than that, every story disappoints—they just end. The author also includes at least one se*ual act, whether the story needs it or not, in almost every story. I can‘t recommend this book, but it may work for others. Fortunately it‘s a pretty quick read. #foodandlit @Catsandbooks

I‘ve started this audiobook for #foodandlit #Nepal @Catsandbooks #litsyatoz #letterA #chunksterchallenge

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of the most elite mountaineers in history tells his account of the 1996 Everest disaster. As a guide for Seattle-based Mountain Madness, his was to ensure the safety of their clients. Jon Krakauer is a bit critical of Boukreev‘s decisions, as is documented in Into Thin Air, so this is Toli‘s version. Another fantastic Everest memoir. I won‘t take sides. They both had traumatic experiences and valid memories. The epilogue made me cry.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What started as an article for Outside Magazine turned into the deadliest day on Everest (at that point), and a totally different experience ensued. The article expanded into this incredible memoir, perhaps as an act of catharsis. I first read this 14 years ago and loved it just as much now. Harrowing, sad, and incredible.

Highly recommend all of Krakauer‘s books! His “Under the Banner of Heaven” is what got me interested in cults.

Yes!!!! There is a restaurant that makes Nepali cuisine close by to me.

I have been fascinated by Nepal since I was in college in the 90s. I had a huge crush on someone who was rumored to be a prince. Then, shortly after graduation, the massacre occurred. I was floored. I never saw his name in any of the news reports. I also read Massacre at the Palace. I plan to continue reading about the massacre.
