I'll have to check it out. Once upon a time I took a lot of road trips and there were certain foods I would always buy to keep me going while I drove. I always remember the road trips when I eat or see those foods now. I’ve read some great reviews about this book. I’ll have to check it out.

Fran - Saltines are my food of choice when I'm sick as well! With some ginger ale. Becky - I'm so happy that you liked it too! I was wondering how you felt about it as well because I feel like you are the "authority." So glad we agreed. Sally - I was saddened to realize that this was a Bowen Press title especially as they've just folded. :( Kathryn - You're welcome! It was easy to give a good review when you've got a great book to begin with. I'm glad I picked your two favorites. Christina - I hope you enjoy! Jeanne - Ah Hawaii! There are so many wonderful foods in Hawaii! I compare every pineapple I eat to the fresh pineapple that you can find in Hawaii. Ladytink_534 - Now I want a chocolate covered cherry. Jenn M. - I've got two recipes in the author interview! A great book for it! Now I also want cinnamon rolls! Kathy – The cover is great.

Tue, 24 Feb 2009 03:58:47 +0000 http://blog.mawbooks.com/?p=2252#comment-27995 Are you compiling recipes out of this one? I definately have comfort foods. Mint Chocolate chip ice cream out of the carton=break-up food...always best shared with a friend. Also, like lady tink, certain foods remind me of certain people; grilled cheese and tomato soup=grandma, those little chocolates filled with different alcohol=grandpa, lasagna=mom, cinnamon rolls=my brother(I always had to make them for him...he puts in his request for homemade ones every year for Christmas morning) I'm sure I can think of more... Sounds like a cool book. Are you compiling recipes out of this one?

It sounds like a wonderful, yet sad story. Bonus about the food too. Well actually, certain foods remind me of certain people. Chocolate covered cherries= great-grandma, homemade biscuits= mom, orange screwdrivers= other grandma, spinach= grandpa, etc. I don't think I remember the foods quite the same way Groovy does though.

We all have foods that remind us of things. A drink with a slice of pineapple on the edge reminds me of looking out on flowering bushes (with a cheeky little bird who would take food from your hand) and on over the Pacific, from the Kahala coast of Hawaii. And eating cheese curls in the morning still reminds me of the civil engineering office where I worked in 1983. This sounds like a must-read at my house. We all have foods that remind us of things.

And I'm so happy you liked the chapter titles that had to do with food. I should tell you, my favorite chapter title has always been, "A Nice Tunafish Casserole with Peas", then second place is "Saltines and Liquid Tylenol" Natahsa, I can’t thank you enough for this amazing review.
