Monday Dose of Cute: Learning to Fly

And the winner of The Laws of Harmony by Judi Hendricks


Or At Least Kick Up Her Heels

Okay, I admit it. One of the reasons I like to hold book giveaways is purely selfish. I always make you answer a specific question in order to enter because I know I'll love reading your responses—and once again you didn't disappoint.

For The Laws of Harmony giveaway, I asked you to share a favorite novel that somehow features food. You not only mentioned several of my favorite novels (including Diane Mott Davidson's Goldy the caterer culinary mysteries and Like Water for Chocolate—which has been sitting on my nightstand waiting to be reread for months) but you've also given me a whole new list of books I can't wait to read—especially Blessed are the Cheesemakers by Sarah-Kate Lynch since I really enjoyed her quirky second novel, By Bread Alone. Thank you!

The random winner of the signed copy of The Laws of Harmony is Gen, who said,

When I was a child I would read Little House on the Prarie every summer. I remember the food that was written about very well, it was homemade & homegrown most of the time.

I've just heard from Judi, and she's starting the California leg of her book tour. If you'd like to meet her in person, check out her Events Calendar to see if she'll be in your area. And I hope you'll let me know if you read and enjoy The Laws of Harmony!

  1. Got my library copy yesterday. Spent the whole afternoon reading and drinking champagne and sitting in the sun. Good times.

  2. Not only do they still have their tales they seem to be bigger. Is that just an illusion or are they bigger?

  4. Awww...I missed it while catching up on spring gardening.

    Food books..love 'em! One I read recently that appears to be a one-off but should be a series is by Lou Ann Temple (I think!) called The Spice Box, (I think).

    Loved the way she loved food. :)

  7. ooh, too late to enter, but I absolutely loved Under the Tuscan Sun (which has NOTHING in common with the silly movie of the same name, except the location).

    I still have a bunch of the recipes from it photocopied into my cokbook binder.

  9. Thank you for introducing me to Hendricks. I'm on her second book and loving it. And thanks also for Sarah-Kate Lynch's new book. I loved the "cheesemaker book".

December 2015 update: Hi! For some reason I can't figure out, Blogger hasn't been letting me leave comments on my own blog (!) for the last several months, so I've been unable to respond to your comments and questions. My apologies for any inconvenience! You're always welcome to email me: farmgirlfare AT gmail DOT com.

Hi! Thanks for visiting Farmgirl Fare and taking the time to write. While I'm not always able to reply to every comment, I receive and enjoy reading them all.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and I especially love hearing about your experiences with my recipes. Comments on older posts are always welcome!

Please note that I moderate comments, so if I'm away from the computer it may be a while before yours appears.

I try my best to answer all questions, though sometimes it takes me a few days. And sometimes, I'm sorry to say, they fall through the cracks, and for that I sincerely apologize.

I look forward to hearing from you and hope you enjoy your e-visits to our farm!
