I don't understand goodreads but I'm totally recommending these books

I just finished reading this book.

It was so completely fabulous there are no words. Completely fabulous ARE words of course but they just don't cut it as far as describing exactly how good I felt it was and I can't think of any words that would "cut it". Or "wood" cut it. Now I'm just playing around and really no longer making much sense, but you laughed. I heard you! Well, so off I go now to this book.

He really needs to write more. There are very few writers that I just adore and they never seem to write as much as I would like them too (no, see here I won't make a joke about "would vs. wood" because I didn't use the idiom "cut it", pay attention!). However, before I let myself enjoy this novella I am finally going to read this book.

I have become increasingly interested in cooking with and eating natural foods grown on sustainable organic farms. It's hard to eat only food created under these conditions. Time and money are the major barriers but, you do what you can and when you can do more you do. Right now my focus is on unrefined sugar. I have seen t in regular granulated sugar form but have not, until now, found it in brown sugar and powdered sugar. Now if I can only find chocolate made with unrefined sugar my cookies will be increasingly better.

How Obama changed my refrigerator

This poster has been hanging on my refrigerator since September of 2004. At the time I thought it would only need to stay up for a little while longer.

Unfortunately I was wrong. This poster was made by a 7-year-old girl and is titled "Thumbs down". I kept it on my refridgerator until we were finally rid of "president stinkhead" a term I find to be far to civil to describe our 43rd president. The poster was a daily reminder that the president did not care about the middle class. He did not care about children learning in schools that were falling apart. He did not care about the victims of hurricane Katrina. He did not care for the environment. He did not care that people were having to file bankruptcy because they couldn't pay medical bills. He cared about making money for himself and his friends. He cared about maintaining a facade of social conservatism in order to keep his "base" satisfied. Those are not priorities I share. Every time the poster would slide, scrunch and need to be readjusted I was reminded that I had to stay vigilant of things happening around me and try to change them even if only at a local level. Now we are in a state of a near financial collapse (yes I totally blame him!) and it gets closer and closer to home everyday. I am confident in our 44th president and that things will eventually change for the better. We need to be patient though and be prepared to work hard. I am so glad that my refrigerator now is only covered with pictures of my loved ones. That makes me smile every time I walk into the kitchen.
