Out you go- silly books
July 10, 2007 8:16 pm Book reviews, recommends9 books were eliminated today. 6 were cookbooks, (the Venison cookbook won’t actually go into the garbage; it’ll go to Dad)
- The Bible as History by Werner Keller- Don’t let the title fool you like it did me- this one is fluff marketed as “proof of the truth of the Bible”. It’s full of long reaches to “prove” the exodus that actually embarrasses me with its lack of supporting facts.
- The Frugal Goumet- our immigrant Ancestors- I dropped this one in the tub once- it’s hashed.
- The Bible Promise Book K.J.V. – where did I get this? I can’t understand anything in K.J.V.
- Simplify Your Life: 100 Ways to Slow Down and Enjoy the Things That Really Matter- Spending time reading about how to spend less time on trivial things seems trivial to me…
- Fresh Vegetable and Fruit Juices: What’s Missing in Your Body? – As you can see by the title, this book has a bit more of an agenda than just some good juicing recipes. I’m kinda over the “health nut we must evaluate our poop to see if we are getting enough vitamins” phase.
- The lifechange Cookbook- Paul got this when he was doing a web job for the author. Never cracked it open.
- Gifts in a Jar: Soups (Gifts in a Jar, 4) – Charming idea. Always seemed like so much work for gifts.
- The Yeast Connection Cookbook: A Guide to Good Nutrition and Better Health – We actually went on this diet once. It was great for Paul- he dropped alot of weight. I became ill from not being able to find enough calories in the allowed food for my metabolism. Got REALLY sick.
- Venison Cookbook (A. D. Livingston Cookbook) – What? Kill our own food? Huh?

LOL–how funny. Don’t we acquire strange things over time? I’m starting the great Closet Clean Out of 2007 this weekend.
Pray for me.
I enlisted my mother to come help me stay on task. I usually get sentimental and decide to keep a t-shirt from 10 years ago because of the great concert I saw while wearing it. Gag.

How did I end up with the Venison Cookbook?
Do you have one that has a good cream cheese frosting recipe in it? Mine never seems to turn out. Ha ha.
I picked up a biography of Jane Austen at the RF library book sale. Can’t wait to dig in!

How many hours of looking through books did it take to find 10 to get rid of? I need to do this and I know it will take more time then I have to give.

about 20 minutes- no kidding. But I wasn’t browsing the shelves, I was sorting them out on my BookCollector pro software. (I highly recommend it, but only if you get the bar code scanner accessory)

Cheryl’s mom found a copy of ‘The Frugal Gourmet’ at the thrift store and tried to leave it here. I appreciate her generosity but does anyone have a bird-cage to line?
Brandy, if you like you may peruse a mass of books I’m trying to get out of my collection; there are some pretty arcane titles.
