Book Synopsis Being Dead Is No Excuse by : Gayden Metcalfe
Download or read book Being Dead Is No Excuse written by Gayden Metcalfe and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hilarious guide to the intricate rituals, customs, and etiquette surrounding death in the South-and a practical collection of recipes for the final send-off. As author Gayden Metcalfe asserts, people in the Delta have a strong sense of community, and being dead is no impediment to belonging to it. Down south, they don't forget you when you've up and died-they may even like you better and visit you more often! But just as there is an appropriate way to live your life in the South, there is an equally essentially tasteful way of departing it-and the funeral is the final social event of your existence so it must be handled flawlessly. Metcalfe portrays this slice of American culture from the manners, customs, and the tomato aspic with mayonnaise that characterize the Delta way of death. Southerners love to swap tales, and Gayden Metcalfe, native of Greenville, MS, founder of the Greenville Arts Council and chairman of the St. James Episcopal Church Bazaar, is steeped in the stories and traditions of this rich region. She reminisces about the prominent family that drank too much and got the munchies the night before the big event-and left not a crumb for the funeral (Naturally some early rising, quick-witted ladies from the church saved the day, so the story demonstrates some solutions to potential entertaining disasters!). Then there was the lady who allocated money to have "Home on the Range" sung at the service, and the family that insisted on a portrait of their mother in her casket, only to refuse to pay for it on the grounds that "Mama looks so sad." Each chapter ends with an authentic southern recipe that will come in handy if you "plan to die tastefully", including Boiled Bourbon Custard; Aunt Hebe's Coconut Cake; Pickled Shrimp; Homemade Mayonnaise; and Homemade Rolls.

Book excerpt: MARCIA ADAMS: HEART TO HEART, is a contradiction of sorts, and a delightful one. A happy hurrah of joy and determination, this book by the well known cookbook author and PBS cooking chef, Marcia Adams writes of her new role as she grapples with congestive heart failure and a possible heart transplant. It is not a sad book, but is written with both honesty and good humor. "The first thing I tell people about my illness is that the food I write about in my cookbooks, did not do this to me. My congestive heart failure is caused by an upper respiratory virus that settled in my heart, damaging it before it left my body—such a nuisance! " The book reflects Adams' far-ranging interests in cuisine, travel, gardening, art and antiques. She admits to a passion for literature and books, saying "I am a literature junkie. I have real feelings of anxiety that I might run out of good things to read. I have never understood why people go to bars or do drugs to escape, when they could go to a library. . . A library is such a quiet civilized place, and you never have a hang over." A self-described control freak, Adam's journey from frustration and "a sort of denial, because I wasn't being true to my inner self" to the acceptance of her condition is a compelling reading experience. Her news of her diagnosis and her decision to be a potential heart transplant patient is presented as a daily journal, over a year's period. Uninhibited and natural, the journal records Marcia's emotional ups and downs, making the decision to live. She became active in promoting more information about women and heart disease through the media. "I was devastated when I first heard I had serious heart disease. I was in the middle of writing another cookbook and producing another public television series," said Adams. "How could this happen to me? I still have so much to do, and more books are in my head just waiting t0 tumble out and be written on the page. What I learned immediately was, 'why not me?'" Suffering also from painful and ever-present arthritis and fibromyalgia, Adams first decided to let nature take its course. "I began to get my life in order, the will was re-written, the cemetery plot and stone were selected, all the cupboards and closets were cleaned, the memorial service planned. . . then I just kept on living. It was taking too long to die. I had difficulty just lying around, waiting for death. It is very unlike me to passively wait for anything, including my demise. I was reminded myself of the character of Pozzo in Samuel Beckett's play, who observes with a touch of surprise, "I do not seem . . . able to depart." The introduction of a new arthritis drug enabled me to come to the decision I would attempt to have a heart transplant. "Emily Dickinson points out 'we dwell in possibility,' which, incidentally, is a mantra of mine. My quality of life, other than the slowing down from cardiac heart failure, still provides me with so much creative satisfaction and interaction with hundreds of people. With a laptop computer, and four very devoted caregivers, including my Spouse, Dick, I have been able to survive this interim period before I receive a new heart, with some grace and a great deal of happiness. And I have been given enough time to write this book and produce half-hour PBS documentaries on women and heart disease. This is a precious opportunity. During all this upheaval, my philosophy and lifestyle did change totally. The essence of it is, though, the whole experience certainly has not been a negative one. And I want people to know that and also to take encouragement and comfort from the book, if they choose." Determined to turn the negative into a positive, Adams went on a local heart transplant list in February, 2000, at Fort Wayne, Indiana, a regional heart surgery center. The journal, which also includes over a hundred of her new recipes, plus a list of medical resou

Book excerpt: America is coming back to basics, and nowhere is the art of transforming fresh, seasonal ingredients into appealingly homey dishes practiced with more flair than in Midwestern kitchens. A lifelong resident of the Midwest, award-winning author Marcia Adams celebrates this diverse and bountiful region with more than 200 recipes that capture the spirit of Heartland cooking. Heartland food conjures up delightfully nostalgic memories of pies cooling on a windowsill, silky preserves canned for the long cold winters, soft white sugar cookies bursting with raisins, generous breakfasts of farm-fresh eggs and country sausage, and hearty soups simmered to savory perfection. The region boasts unparalleled culinary diversity: tender Iowa lamb, Minnesota wild rice and salmon, Michigan morels and fiddlehead ferns, Wisconsin cheese and ducks -- the list goes on and on. And each generation of immigrants has preserved its cultural heritage in the form of a flourishing ethnic cuisine. Adams has traveled throughout the Midwestern states in search of the very best recipes the region has to offer, from near-forgotten family favorites to the exciting new creations coming out of the Heartland's professional kitchens. She includes classics like Snicker-doodles, Wilted Country Salad with Bacon Dressing, and Stewing Hen with Cornmeal Parsley Dumplings; regional favorites like Cincinnati Chili and Frango Mint Cheesecake; plus a selection of innovative new dishes that make the most of indigenous Midwestern ingredients, such as Pork Pot Roast with Couscous and Sauteed Perch Fillets with Fresh Cucumber Relish. With dozens of color photographs and Marcia Adams's warmly evocative text, Heartland presents anunforgettable portrait of the people, places, and food that, epitomize American regional cookery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 2015 James Beard Award Finalist: "Eye-opening, insightful, and huge fun to read." —Bee Wilson, author of Consider the Fork Why do we eat toast for breakfast, and then toast to good health at dinner? What does the turkey we eat on Thanksgiving have to do with the country on the eastern Mediterranean? Can you figure out how much your dinner will cost by counting the words on the menu? In The Language of Food, Stanford University professor and MacArthur Fellow Dan Jurafsky peels away the mysteries from the foods we think we know. Thirteen chapters evoke the joy and discovery of reading a menu dotted with the sharp-eyed annotations of a linguist. Jurafsky points out the subtle meanings hidden in filler words like "rich" and "crispy," zeroes in on the metaphors and storytelling tropes we rely on in restaurant reviews, and charts a microuniverse of marketing language on the back of a bag of potato chips. The fascinating journey through The Language of Food uncovers a global atlas of culinary influences. With Jurafsky's insight, words like ketchup, macaron, and even salad become living fossils that contain the patterns of early global exploration that predate our modern fusion-filled world. From ancient recipes preserved in Sumerian song lyrics to colonial shipping routes that first connected East and West, Jurafsky paints a vibrant portrait of how our foods developed. A surprising history of culinary exchange—a sharing of ideas and culture as much as ingredients and flavors—lies just beneath the surface of our daily snacks, soups, and suppers. Engaging and informed, Jurafsky's unique study illuminates an extraordinary network of language, history, and food. The menu is yours to enjoy.
