Content warning cw cookbook discussion - Vietnamese x Louisiana cuisine
vietnamese-american chef who grew up mostly in Louisiana writes for an American audience. Creole x Vietnamese works really well - both areas colonized by the French so there's delightful crossover, like how ingredients/flavors in a po boy can work in a bahn mi and vice versa. Lots of pictures and stories, for example a recipe demonstrated three ways: how Grandmother makes it, how Mom makes it, and how the author does it. I'm charmed, very gift-able for the adventurous chef in your orbit. #Vietnam #Louisiana #Creole #Vietnamese #NewOrleans #BatonRouge

ran out of time on libby audiobook borrow ~chapter 24...
the first 100 pages set the foundation for the language of thinking about how repeating patterns (triangles, squares, -agons etc) work, and then you start getting into brainbending tesselations. Not a lot of fluff, its just straight into: ok if you reflect then rotate, then reflect again, all around a center point, you get a pattern that looks like this: and a couple, very clean, example images.
Great for designers, artists, tile-layers, and those into #MCEscher & #OpticalIllusions & #fractals but with a logic/systems/mathematics bent.

Content warning CW: animal abuse
Very good. Fictionalized autobiography graphic novel about a couple's acquisition of some dogs in rural Korea in the 2020s. City-folk but - what's not hinted at on the cover is that this narrates their experience of how a minority of older folks were still using stray dogs as a protein source, which has since been formally made illegal in the country, starting in 2027. Dogs go missing from the neighborhood - thats what turns the light and fluffy and well illustrated story from a forgettable 'oh my corgi and street dog playing together is so cute' to a 'Significant Message' narrative. Quick read, memorable, good.

12th Century Indian Ocean historical fiction with a female protagonist pirate captain, queer characters, demons and sea monsters, swordfighting, and dry humor - its a romp! If the planned trilogy happens, and this takes off, I see film potential in this story.
Well researched, can be dry, I dipped in and out of various chapters. There's so much focus on Boston's roles in the revolutionary war, but our more recent history is very relevant to contemporary boston area organizers. Recommend especially for folks active in the boston area housing/environmental organizing scene.
