Books and things
Dec. 31st, 2006 05:18 pmI finally had some time to check all the things that ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
jdulac provided me on feasts in the middle ages. The Babees Book of Manners is not in the budget, but I can use it as an internet search reference to pick up useful bits (bunnyjadwiga refers to it in her article on washing the hands at table, for instance. I did order the other book, Fast and Feast: Food in Medieval Society.
And I ordered The Self-Sufficient Life and How to Live It, by John Seymour. Originally written in 1976, the 2003 reprint is mostly the same, except that many of the pictures are now in full color. It also includes an updated list of suppliers and seed companies.
Ordered both through Barnes and Noble, as I'm a member there. But besides that, they have an online special today. There's a code they provide on the web site that you type in once you're placing your order, that gives $10 off your order of $40 or more.
Currently I'm reading Gardening When It Counts, Growing Food in Hard Times, by Steve Solomon. ( more )
Well, we have a box of things to take to the party for giveaway, and are as ready as we're ever going to be, so it's time to sign off and go party for a couple of hours.
Like as not we'll sleep through the turning of the year so... See you all next year!
