why is it that i never really know what i'm doing?

i went to school. got the 27k in debt to prove it. they taught me all kindsa nifty stuff.

and yet, what do i do when an 8 year old pees on the floor in a stream from the self checks to the kids computers? (and just how big is an 8 year old's bladder anyway?) what do i do when a man with garlic and steak breath professes his undying love to me. again. for the 3rd time today.

this is a chronicle of what i did, when the crazy happened. which, in a public library is much more often than you'd think. and which, they also don't teach you about in liberry skool.

oh, and there's also a book review or two.

White Truffles in WinterWhite Truffles in Winter by N.M. Kelby


My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Kelby, N.M. White Truffles in Winter. unabridged. 9 CDs. 10.5 Hours. Books on Tape. Nov 2011. ISBN: 978-0-307-97034-3 $40.00. F



Auguste Escoffier once the King of Chefs and Chef of Kings was passionate, romantic and obsessed with the the 5th taste - deliciousness - and beautiful women. As his poetess wife of 55+ years, Delphine Daffis Escoffier is in her death bed, Auguste reminisces about his life, delectable inventions and his lover Sarah Bernhardt the beautiful, scandalous, mysterious actress. Seen through the wry, witty and bitter eyes of Sabine, hired to cook for the couple in their last days, Escoffier is portrayed with compassion and sumptuousness. As the novel progresses, Escoffier, the paramount amour expert, orchestrates the ultimate romantic recipe between Sabine and his latest protoge. Read by the author who sounds like she's on the verge of laughter through most of the book, this delightful listen is well worth it, if even just for the luscious recipes. Recommended to fans of Julie and Julia by Julie Powell.
