Blogging brilliance

by

The closest I will get to blogging brilliance today is the title of the post. You can tell how tired I am by the fact that I made hobbit-method mushrooms for dinner (open frying pan, quick and simple and savoury - and very, very much comfort food). I have three cookbooks near my computer each and all of them not wanting to be put away. Two you already know about: “The Anne of Green Gables Cookbook” and “The Jane Austen Cookbook”. The third I will introduce properly when I am less exhausted. I’ll also get back to looking at food in literature, I promise. I taught cross-cultural awareness on Tuesday and today and it’s a fabulous thing to teach but is emotionally exhausting.

Expect the brain to spark back next week and in the interim I’ll feed you recipes and links and things.

Oh, and the name of the third cookbook sitting on my desk. It’s “The American Frugal Housewife. Dedicated to those who are not ashamed of economy. By Mrs. Child, author of “Hobonok,” “The Mother’s Book,” editor of the “Juvenile Miscellany,” &c. Twelfth Edition. Enlarged and corrected by the author. Boston, 1833.”

I need a subtitle for my week “Dedicated to those who are not ashamed of fatigue.”
