Through the window we can see the moon, seemingly very near. It's just like when Mulder was being tortured by the aliens. MORRIS FLETCHER shields his eyes as he tries to look at the light. As he goes to unlock the door, a bright light shines down from the sky. She gets to her feet.) WOMAN: Excuse me! (The WOMAN walks off. As MORRIS FLETCHER pulls out his wallet to pay, his wedding ring drops on to the bar counter with a tinkle. (The WOMAN looks sympathetic.) MORRIS FLETCHER: What you say I pay up and we find a place not so loud? (The WOMAN nods. But it isn't all, you know (gives a spooky whistle). (Now the WOMAN looks impressed.) WOMAN: Wow. (The WOMAN looks surprised.) MORRIS FLETCHER: Loosely. MORRIS FLETCHER: Well guess who Tommy Lee Jones' character was based on. We now see that the man is MORRIS FLETCHER.) MORRIS FLETCHER: How shall I put this? You ever see the movie Men In Black? WOMAN: Mm-mm. (The MAN puts his hands behind his back and pulls off his wedding ring and slips it into his trouser pocket. My job, uh, kind of cloak and dagger you might say. (The MAN and the WOMAN are sitting at the bar.) WOMAN: So, what do you do for a living? MAN: I work for the government. As the camera pans across the room, we hear a conversation.) WOMAN: Thank you.

In general, the dishes are meant for slow cooking rather than quick-fix meals some recipes require various components, such as a rich stock from scratch, homemade ricotta, a specific sauce, or a 20-ingredient ragout. The main dishes range from vegetarian and vegan to fish, fowl, and red meat. The recipes that follow are arranged in familiar sections: starters and snacks, soups and salads, pasta and grains, casseroles, main dishes, and sweets. Three subsequent timely menus are holiday-inspired, including a vegan Thanksgiving menu. The book starts off with five ethnic cuisine menus comprised of recipes from the book, describing basic ingredients from each cuisine (Mexican, Vietnamese, Italian, Indian, and Chinese), tips for finding little-known ingredients, and how to shop at ethnic markets. Readers familiar with the popular radio show The Splendid Table will relish the publication of this second book by creators Lynne Rossetto Kasper and Sally Swift, which focuses on cooking for the weekends when we generally have more time to prepare slow, elaborate meals. The Splendid Table's How To Eat Weekends: New Recipes, Stories & Opinions From Public Radio's Award-Winning Food Show by Lynne Rossetto Kasper and The author himself notes strong influences from and similarities to Neverwhere and Dark City. While often compared to an extremely creepy Alice in Wonderland, the specifics of the game, particularly some of its Nightmares, are probably closer to a deranged version of The Phantom Tollbooth. The Protagonists must deal with these Nightmares, most of whom would love to taste their Awakened flesh and souls, to complete their personal journeys. The Mad City is a strange twisted place where Nightmares walk in the ever present night and lost things end up. The premise of the game is that the Protagonists are people who, for various reasons, have been unable to sleep for a long time, and they begin to see the extra doors and windows that lead to the Mad City.

Anyway, now I need to read some of the novels by Halldor Laxness, the Icelander who won the Nobel Prize in 1955. The winters in Ottawa are colder than in Reykjavik, plus Ottawa has no hotsprings. Heck, it's farther north than southern Greenland, which isn't even green, whereas Iceland is. It's still hard for me to believe there's an entire country, with a big city and lots of little towns, lying up on the Arctic Circle, about the latitude of Baffin Island. It's only a little over 800 miles long, thorugh some of the most starkly beautiful landscapes on earth. Iceland: I really want to get there before I die and drive around the island on highway 1, the ring road. Burger King should try offering these items to North Americans. It was great! One of the most memorable sequences was Erlendur picking up some baked sheep's head at a drive thru, then using his pocket knife to dig out the eyeball and gobble it. Tangentially, I happened to find a copy of Jar City, the movie. As usual, Erlendur is the most persistant, cantankerous, truth-seeking sonofabitch in Reykjavik. He won the CWA Gold Dagger Award for Silence of the Grave and is the only author to win the Glass Key Award for Best Nordic Crime Novel two years in a row, for Jar City and Silence of the Grave. Turns out it has something to do with young socialist Icelanders studying in Leipzeig back in the '50s. Arnaldur Indridason is the author of Jar City, Silence of the Grave, Voices, The Draining Lake, and Arctic Chill. Erlendur and company try to figure out why a 30 year old skeleton at the bottom of Lake Kleifarvatn has a hole in its skull and is tied to a Soviet-era transmitting device.

A remarkable book, engrossing from start to finish, Five Days at Memorial radically transforms our understanding of human nature in crisis. Author and physician Sheri Fink weaves the lived experiences of real-life heroes, victims, and everyone in between. In a voice at once involving and fair, masterful and intimate, Fink exposes the hidden dilemmas of end-of-life care and reveals just how ill-prepared we are for the impact of large-scale disasters - and how we can do better. Five Days at Memorial, the culmination of six years of reporting by Pulitzer Prize winner Sheri Fink, unspools the mystery, bringing us inside a hospital fighting for its life and into the most charged questions in health care. Five Days at Memorial, the culmination of six years of reporting, unspools the mystery of what happened in those days, bringing the reader into a hospital fighting for its life and into a conversation about the most terrifying form of health care rationing. Months later, several health professionals faced criminal allegations that they deliberately injected numerous patients with drugs to hasten their deaths. After Katrina struck and the floodwaters rose, the power failed, and the heat climbed, exhausted caregivers chose to designate certain patients last for rescue. In the tradition of the best writing on human behaviour and moral choices in the face of disaster, physician and reporter Sheri Fink reconstructs five days at New Orleans' Memorial Medical Center during Hurricane Katrina and draws the reader into the lives of those who struggled mightily to survive and to maintain life amidst chaos. Kit learns that the proposed union between her and his twin is really a marriage of convenience for both of them: Cressy wants her independence from an overbearing stepmother, and Evelyn needs to procure a sensible wife so that his guardian uncle will hand over the reins of his trust money. She is a sensible girl, pretty (although not a beauty), and with a good figure. Kit, masquerading as Evelyn, goes to the dinner party and meets Cressida (Cressy), his brother’s intended. Kit’s mother, a feather-brained, prodigal spender, convinces Kit to take his twin’s place arguing that it will only be for one night. If he doesn’t show, she will undoubtedly take it as an unforgivable slight and quash the betrothal (thus injuring Evelyn’s chances of making a respectable match and gaining control of his own fortune). To make matters worse, Evelyn is supposed to meet his prospective bride’s grandmother the next day at a dinner party. When Christopher (Kit) Fancot returns to England unexpectedly from Vienna, he finds that his twin Lord Evelyn Denham has mysteriously disappeared. I’ve been on quite the Heyer kick lately, and I’m thinking about ordering more of her books from the library for summer reading. My third and final post for today described another delicious novel by Georgette Heyer named False Colours. |
