Review: The Wife


The Wife
The Wife by Sigrid Undset

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



I read it too slowly and lost track of some of the characters who get less screen time. Looking forward to a reread, though! Some books (even ones I enjoy rereading) I can take in more or less all at once. So far, reading the Kristin Lavransdatter books has been more like wandering through a real landscape, noticing a lot of things, but missing many others. I'm looking forward to more walks through it.

Review: The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business


The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business
The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business by Charles Duhigg

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



A number of interesting stories, but didn't entirely deliver on its promises. Worth a read just for the anecdotes, though!

Marriage Equality Anniversary Chicken
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


So, we like Chick Fil-A's chicken, but we don't like buying food from them since we learned that they're anti-gay. For our first wedding anniversary, Husband made simulated fast-food chicken! The main trick is brining the chicken for a good long time before cooking. It was fantastic!
