A New Book

If you have read my blog for any amount of time, you know I love the book, "French Women Don't Get Fat" by Mireille Guiliano. The book is loaded with wonderful concepts in eating for pleasure without adding on the pounds. Its the only book that has really worked for me in changing my eating habits.
Today Emery purchased for me her second book, "French Women for All Seasons". I have only read a few pages and scanned through the book and already I know its a book that will make my diet adventure more delightful. Learning to eat for pleasure without packing on the pounds and in my case, loosing pounds, is just simply wonderful.
In the intro when she is writing about the way the French have eaten through time, she says something that is true for so many aspects of life...." I don't want to live in the past, but I do want to learn from it, and
I believe that the culture of moderation, painstaking attention to taste, and healthy eating and living that I absorbed growing up in France can be adapted to today's world and pursued just about anywhere."
The first part of that quote is how I feel about the past on so many levels.
The recipes in the book look wonderful and there appears to be bits of profound wisdom throughout the book. I am looking forward to a quiet afternoon of reading tomorrow.

Its hard to go to a bookstore and come out with just one or two new "friends", we came out with several.
