Goodreads Review: Animal, Vegetable, Miracle

(I just realized that you can blog your book reviews right from Goodreads, so I'm giving it a go here. It's a little weird because I reference my blog in the review, but whatever.)

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life by Barbara Kingsolver

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
I'm wrote a line about this book on my blog that I think is so good I'm just going to crib. ;) "Barbara Kingsolver writes so well that I'd pay good money to read her account of mopping her kitchen floor." 'Tis true. But here Kingsolver has lovingly recorded the year she and her family raised and grew a good portion of their own food. What they couldn't grow, they bought local. It's an inspiration to try to devote the time and attention to our food that it deserves; on a more practical level, I'm already learning to think, "hmm, now, asparagus -- is that in season?" A big thanks to Jeannette (http://www.goodreads.com/user/... for the recommendation.
