A whole lot o' nothing. And then some…

Day:

I've just returned from a week at Canyon Ranch in Tuscon. I remembered a kibbutz-like place with cheesy Southwestern furnishings and dark carpets. Those were the late 80's. Those days are done. Now I can safely say: I've been Ranched.
It's not a farmer's market, not a food expo, it's more a place where budding chefs/official gourmands/people cooking in their home kitchens all meet to showcase and sell their wares. Some are restauranteurs. Some are food truckers. Some are caterers. And some are phenomenally talented cooks who want to shill their shit and have nowhere else to do so.
It's taken me several days to get a handle on TIFF this year. Between back to school hectic-ness and life in general, I'm afraid TIFF has had to take a back seat for MOAM! But fear not, loyal readers, I still have updates for you!
4th of July. Somehow, summer has arrived. (my) Kids are busy at camp, a hazy heat has descended on this fair city, and I keep getting asked what I'm reading. Buckle up! Here's the MOAM summer reading list for 2012. No 50 Shades Trilogy here. Most of you have either read it, or read enough about it that you can't be bothered. But here are some other books I've enjoyed and think you will, too.
