The Immortal Life...

This morning I finished reading The Immortsl Life of Henrietta Lacks. I really enjoyed this book, despite the fact that it was not the easiest subject matter. The book was a very quick read. I only started it on Saturday and finished it on Friday. Rebecca Skloot did a great job covering so many varying points, that were all important to the full story. Had she left any of the personal stuff out it would have read more like a textbook. This is a great piece of non-fiction that is all at once scientific, at human interest. I am now looking forward to the movie as well as her next book.
Also of note, I picked up the March 2010 issue of Cooking Light. It has a pretty good article that I am sure everyone who cooks should read that is entitled: OOPS! The 25 Most Common Cooking Mistakes And How To Avoid Them.
I know for certain that I am guilty of at least nine of them.
