Brunch @ Bobby's by Bobby Flay

By
Concept: Breakfast and brunch ideas

Author: Bobby Flay - Famous Chef on Food Network. He has several restaurants and several accolades in the food world. One of the things I really like about him is that while he is competitive he isn't mean about it. When someone else does a good job he acknowledges it goodnaturedly. (Yes, I made that word up). 

Food type: Breakfast and brunch ideas 

Monologue score (1-10) (how entertaining, not the recipes): 4

Difficulty level: Medium to difficult

Approximate percentage of recipes I would be willing to try: I was disappointed that half or more of the recipes here have alcohol in them. I know alcohol is a popular thing, but being a person who doesn't drink at all that made more than half the recipes inside out of the question for me. I understand that cookbooks will have recipes with alcohol but it was frustrating that the percentage was so high.  Also, I'm not the biggest fan of breakfast foods... 

Though I am only interested in about 20% the ones I am interested in sound amazingly delicious. 

Sample recipes I'm interested in trying:

  • Blackberry-Maple Syrup
  • Fruit butter and vanilla bean butter
  • Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes
  • Carrot Cake Pancakes
  • Peanut Butter French Toast Waffles
  • Gingerbread Pumpkin Waffles
  • Angel Biscuits - cross between yeast roll and baking powder biscuit
  • Apple, Cheddar, and Bacon Cornmeal Waffle Sandwich

The Game by Terry Schott

By
Brief synopsis (no spoilers) What if this life is just a simulation? What if our bodies are in another world, plugged into a virtual reality game, and our entire life is just one play in that game? What would our real life be like, if we could experience several full simulated lifespans, in our teen years, and then enter adulthood? That is the premise of this story. Category Sci-Fi Why I chose this book It was either free or discounted on Amazon, and sounded interesting My personal opinion (the review) Too many inconsistencies. For example: The real world is able to view the players in the game in "real time", but time in the game is sped up, so that a week in real life is worth a decade in the virtual world. How do real world people have enough time to experience the virtual world, in real time, while still being accelerated? Danielle enters the game 3 days behind Trew, but she only ends up being 1 year younger. If a week is a decade in the game, then 3 days should have be...

Mark of Fire by Richard Phillips

By
Brief synopsis (no spoilers): Two main stories: Carol, the daughter of Lord Rafel, wants to be a magic wielder. As she learns magic and grows in strength, she is unaware that she is being hunted by the greatest wielder in the world. The second story is about a ward of Rafel's, named Blade, who becomes an infamous assassin and works for the king. The king sends Blade to kill Rafel and Carol, but he warns them to flee instead. Blade wanders, to escape the king's justice, but finds himself in his own adventure. Category : Fiction, fantasy, possibly YA Why I chose this book : Kindle First My personal opinion : I really enjoyed the story line, the world the author created, and the depth of the characters. It was easy to lose myself in the story. I also really appreciate that the story is "clean" - no bad language, no sexual situations, etc. I feel comfortable recommending this to my teenage children. Warnings Language: none Violence: fairly frequent fighting "Adult...

The Keeper by Suzanne Woods Fisher

By
Brief synopsis (no spoilers) Story follows the Lapp family, an Amish family in new England, their challenges, growth, and relationships developed with the new housekeeper and beekeeper who have become part of their household, especially the relationship of Julia with Rome (the beekeeper), a traveling unattached "drifter" that resides in stony ridge part of each spring/summer. Category Christian fiction Why I chose this book It showed up on the suggestions page of my library digital borrow/lend site, and it looked like a love story. Other cultures (like Amish) interest me. I knew it would be a safe read love story. My personal opinion (the review) I really enjoyed the love story. It was also interesting to read about an Amish family. It had a lot of spiritual references in the thoughts of the characters and I liked that.  Warnings (language, violence, "adult" situations, death, etc.) No "bad" stuff, but yes death. (I was grateful for the ...
