Iodine

I finally finished Haven Kimmel's Iodine on Saturday. It actually made more sense after I was done reading it, than it did the entire time I was reading it. If I had not been so tired of it, I would have taken the time to look up all the mythological references,but at a point, I just did not care anymore. If one has the time, I suppose it was not a total waste.
Immediately after finishing,Iodine I started reading Jennifer Weiner's Best Friends Forever. So far, it is easy to read and very good at keeping my interest. More to follow...

I am still reading Haven Kimmel's Iodine. It is making a little bit more sense, but it is still quite confusing.

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.
