pickEnjoyable listen as an epilogue to the story begun in Moon of the Crusted Snow. This duology is not an action packed zombie type apocalyptic thriller, instead it is a description of a people reconnecting with the roots of their culture, one other, and nature “after the world goes dark.” I love how the collapse of civilization is largely a mystery and what few details emerge are fuzzy, but uncomfortably ordinary & and thus rather realistic.
pickI‘m so happy Rice wrote this follow up to Moon of the Crusted Snow. This one wasn‘t as good as the first, but it was a satisfying follow up. The audiobook had the same excellent narrator as well. #FoodAndLit #Canada
#FoodandLit #Canada I made Cabbage Rolls it is unclear as to who invented this lovely dish, but we do have a lot of Ukrainian immigrants that came to Canada in the early 1900 s. I learned how to make it from a French Canadian lady. The recipe is very easy.
1. Cook beef with onions and add beef broth pouch until cooked. Cook rice separately. Mix the two together and add soya sauce. Don't be cheap but taste. ⬇️
pickBeautifully written, honest, and gritty in a way that never felt performative or indulgent or trauma porn-y, this collection of linked short stories offers snippets of a girl then young woman's life from her family's immigration to Canada from Congo as a kid to her mid-20s. I loved how the stories spotlighted her complicated friendships with women. Content warnings for suicide, sexual assault, drugs, drinking. Oh Loli, I hope you are okay now ❤️
Couldn't resist a stop in this cottage country museum/gift shop/used book store/internet cafe/ice cream parlour. The selection of used books and new local history books was excellent! I bought the tagged 😁
