Everything Sirious
This was amazing. I was doubtful just because of the olive oil for no good reason – I used Wegmans extra virgin lemon olive oil and subbed almond milk for the whole milk. Absolutely yummy, very moist, great taste, lovely tea or breakfast cake. (And I love this site for recipes as well).

If you’re interested in history at all, and in particular Chinese history, the (horrible) treatment of women in the late 1500’s, and a great cast of characters, this is an excellent read. Loosely based on a woman physician in China during that time, I found it fascinating – not only a good story and as mentioned, great characters, but all the intricacies of life at that time. 5 Stars in my opinion!
Not knowing much about this book other than it was recommended on one of the Facebook groups I frequent, it popped up as now available on my library hold list. Well. What a story! I didn’t know the history of Mr. Breitweiser but this is worth a read in my opinion – it’s not super long, about a 4 hour read, and just a fascinating true story. I won’t go into any spoilers though I had to read everything Wikipedia had to say about him of course.
