Just Wanna Take a Bite 4/13/09

I know that nobody wants to hear about how I accidentally threw up on myself today in the car, but for humor purposes, I must share. Imagine driving next to someone, you look over, and they are throwing up. Ugh. Gross and funny. My life is drawn to these predicaments. Blog fodder. Anyway, I got a day off work because of it, so I think it was worth it.
I started reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life by Kingsolver today. I was a little hesitant because I thought it just might be some hippie BS, (semi-related to an episode of 30 Days called “Off the Grid” about some Vegans) but the first chapter has been enjoyable. I have read two other books by Kingsolver called The Poisonwood Bible and Prodigal Summer. I immensely enjoyed both of those novels. She has this way of putting words together so richly that reading her work is like taking a bite of a delicious freshly baked brownie that is actually good for you. Although this is my first time reading her non-fiction, it has the same feel. Mmmm…brownies.
