Recommending a recommender

If you have noticed, I have recommended a couple of things in this blog--a book and a beer to be exact. There will be more of that. There is a website that I go to often for recommendations on just about anything. The site, http://www.headbutler.com/, is full of good stuff. Jesse, the author of this blog, knows his stuff. I first found him when he was a political blogger on http://www.beliefnet.com/. I sought him out when I was in a bind and needed to locate some additional last minute wedding anniversary gifts. My wife is a foodie and thankfully, Jesse and his wife are too. They appreciate good books, good food, and good drink. The London Cafe cookbook was one of the better recommendations, but the all time winner was a book called, Life is Meals by James and Kay Salter. I haven't even read the book because I'm not a foodie. I'm an eatie. Hey, it works out well. Anyway, I do know the book is structured like a devotional by giving you a reading for each day of the year. Subaruwoman ignored the style of the book and read the entire thing in about two weeks. She claims she couldn't help herself. Each reading gives you great food and drink facts. Did you know Queen Elizabeth I drank beer and wine with her breakfast because the water in the 16th century could very well kill ya? It was popular to float a piece of bread on the top of your wine to improve the taste and nourishment value. That is why we give "toasts" today!(p.91) Whodathunkit? You'll also discover good info on all things in life considered fine. If you are a foodie, go get this book and pay Jesse a visit at Headbutler. Be sure to checkout his cookbook recommendations. As an eatie, I can promise you you'll be pleased.
