Back to the Mid(west -Worst)

  I never regret reading anything David Sedaris puts out, and this one was no different. I constantly re-play episodes of the This American Life (podcast) that he has appeared on. A fast moving, greatly paced thriller. This one, too! I will never look at taxidermy or time travel in quite the same way, ever again. This book was such a great gift during a year when my travel options were limited. Eloisa James in an amazing writer! As far as cookbooks go, This was chock full of delicious ideas for homemade veggie burgers! I also really enjoyed From Freezer to table; it helped me to think of cooking in terms of prep in advance, which is especially helpful with my food allergies and sensitivities.
