The book has a lot of great, still relevant advice. It also has recipes that include "hot prune juice". So kind of a mixed bag.

Yossarian You'd drink your prune juice COLD?!? 7y
AlleyChen Technically she's not telling you to drink it hot but to cook with it. Not sure if that's better or worse 7y
Sydsavvy Wow. Had no idea. Maybe she's onto something? 7y
AlleyChen I dunno. But if you'd like to give it a try and report back, I'm all ears! 7y

Oh no, it appears I got to the bar early. I guess I'll have to get a drink and read while I wait #thisisanonproblem

MicheleinPhilly So damn accurate. One of the many reasons I've been avoiding most social media like the plague these days. 7y
AlleyChen Agreed! I'm so afraid of the littlest thing being blown out of proportion. Mainly hoping on my lack of audience to save me 7y

This was a lot better than I thought and hooray for avoiding some of the Mean Girl-esque cliches I thought it would hit.

Seems like a surprising amount of self-awareness from a Fox News guy. Unless the other author is responsible for this.

I feel like they wanted to write historical fiction, but then did all this research and wanted credit for serious non-fiction. How well this works out is yet to be seen

Sydsavvy Lol it sold a lot of books. I'm thinking it might be a good strategy! But I'm with you. 8y
AlleyChen So far I'm thinking it *could* be a good strategy, in someone else's hands... 8y

Quarter way through. Still no idea what's going on. But a cat rides a tram (and pays the fare) so that's something.
