My oldest son sent me a link this morning after I told him that one of my 2010 goals is to lose a pound a week. I read with interest your post about having the same goal. Then I went on to read some other posts and came across your ‘ten books’ list. I’ve read several on the list and will check out the others. Just wanted to add a comment to the cookbook section. I also recently purchased my first copy of The Joy of Cooking and like the writing style and practical tips. Another favorite book that was recently published and that I love is The Pioneer Woman Cooks. Check out her web site http://www.thepioneerwoman.com I think you would enjoy it a lot. Happy New Year! I look forward to reading your posts every day – I just signed up to receive new posts!

Have your read the section about “How to Skin a Squirrel?” I know, I know…but they definitely are thorough. They even mention that you don’t want a little red one, the kind that run around suburban neighborhoods, instead they tell you to select the darker brown ones. In hard times who knows?

Basically, HTCE is a better book for learning how to cook than JoC is. JoC is a more complete book and works well as a kitchen reference, but it’s not as good as HTCE at teaching kitchen fundamentals.

It seems like a similar concept… I’m just wondering if I should buy one when I already have the other?
