NourishMe's Delicious Book Club

The NourishMe Delicious Book Club's current read is "My Italian Bulldozer" by Alexander McCall Smith. Paul Stuart, a renowned food writer, finds himself at loose ends after his longtime girlfriend leaves him for her personal trainer. To cheer him up, Paul’s editor, Gloria, encourages him to finish his latest cookbook on-site in Tuscany, hoping that a change of scenery (plus the occasional truffled pasta and glass of red wine) will offer a cure for both heartache and writer’s block. We will meet at NourishMe on Thursday, May 16 to discuss the book and decide on our next book. Everyone is welcome to join us.
Happy reading (and eating) all.

Quaffing
This Alexander Valley Cabernet is worth featuring again here. It's an elegant wine with earthy aromas of cassis, plum, cherry, vanilla, oak and slight chocolate. In the glass there are lush flavors of cherry, cassis, blackberry and chocolate. On the palate, bright red fruit flavors give way to modest tannins and balanced acidity, Drink and enjoy this ward winning red wine.

Reading

Returning Home to Our Bodies pushes "back against a consumerist, pleasure-centric somatics industry that privileges product over process." Abigail Rose Clarke "reminds us that truly meaningful embodiment practice nurtures our relationships among self, nature, and community," wrote Penguin Random House.

"Combining the rigor of the scientific method with the poetry and lyricism of movement and somatic studies, Clarke’s somatic learning system—The Embodied Life Method—centers the body as a guide through today’s most seemingly intractable social and environmental challenges, reclaiming the body as a source of liberatory comfort in times of great uncertainty and yet, possibility." 

The book has "tools and practices to help us better understand and dismantle the many ways our bodies are weaponized to serve domination systems."
