A Homemade Life-Molly Wizenberg

This book reminds me of Julie Powell's Julie and Julia; both authors started out as blog writers with a passion for food. However, this book comes with a bonus!! Tons of recipes!! One of the better books I've read. Each recipe comes with a funny, sad, or heartwarming anecdote. I love reading the cute stories of wizenberg's quirky father- Burg. And the way the author met her future husband, brandon,through her blog, was pretty romantic. The book is honest and funny and feels like warm soup on a cold day!! A recommended read for food lovers, with or without a passion for cooking.

Missing

Have I lost it?
The tinkling in the toes
The tinkering of the heart
The twinkling of the eyes 
The ever changing tide
Washing ashore all my sorrows
But The darkness of yesterdays
Remained,
Never going out to sea.
The manic wind
Blew away all hopes
And still the dark sand beneath my feet,
Remained.
I'm half a person
Coz you have never arrived 
On the shore
Which I stood waiting
The soft whining of my heart
Begs to be still
And Still I wait
For that little hope
Called You. 

Those black diamonds in the sky,
That you once said you loved,
Disappeared like ninjas in the night. 
I could never find them
Just like I could never find you.
We are all lost souls
In the wilderness of life
Always searching
For that missing You.
