Wonder if I can readily find pine nuts for this oatcake recipe I saw in there...<br /><br />No, I don't recall being recced that book, but I'll certainly keep it in mind :D<br /><br />Should note that after I posted this, I received a copy of Joseph Brodsky's <i>Watermark</i> that I had ordered a couple of days ago due to the urging of someone close to me. I might have dreams based on that...Venice seems like my type of city.<br /><br />Also bought Alan Lightman's <i>Einstein's Dream</i> today at a local bookstore. This may be a good complement for several recent reads.Larry Nolenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16001420558511460998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068873.post-80651210187749836172012-07-18T11:19:54.184-05:002012-07-18T11:19:54.184-05:00Ah, I've been meaning to get into Bauldaire, a...Ah, I've been meaning to get into Bauldaire, as Calasso has a book on him that'll be available in English later this year.<br /><br />By the way, I think I already rec'd them to you but I think you'd enjoy Calasso's <i>Ka: Stories of the Mind and Gods of India</i> and <i>The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony</i><br /><br />-sci/sajAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068873.post-46126516556850445712012-07-18T10:34:22.321-05:002012-07-18T10:34:22.321-05:00My wife made a couple of the recipes from the coo...My wife made a couple of the recipes from the cookbook and both were quite tasty.<br /><br />Happy Birthday again!RobBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04014122096561992311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068873.post-42595751342296411872012-07-18T01:14:10.194-05:002012-07-18T01:14:10.194-05:00Thanks!
