A true story of a serial killer who was very active during the building of the Chicago’s World Fair.

I read it for the first time last year and loved how it made me think about how I could eat a little more sustainably. Michael Pollan is one of my very favorite food writers. I’m obsessed with The Omnivore’s Dilemma. He’s writes a lot about the food industry and eating sustainably. I just finished his latest this week called “Cooked.” In that book he goes through the different ways we transform our food into something delicious and edible through cooking. It’s fascinating but read the book on a full stomach – it’ll make you too hungry otherwise! It also has recipes, which I’m tempted to try at some point.

The book is “Where the Sidewalk Ends” by Shel Silverstein, and the poem is “With His Mouth Full of Food”. I have read this book (and this poem) hundreds of times and it still kills me. Hope you like it too. 🙂

Milford Dupree, though he knew it was rude, Talked with his mouth full of food. He never would burp or walk out of in the nude, But he talked with his mouth full of food. His mother said, “Milford, it’s crude and it’s lewd To talk with your mouth full of food. Why, even the milk cow who moo’d as she chewed Never talked with her mouth full of food And the cuckoo would never have ever cuckoo’d If he coo’d with his mouth full of food.” His dad said, “Get married or go get tattooed, But don’t talk with your mouth full of food. And if it was a crime, you would surely get sued. If you talked with your mouth full of food. Why just like an animal you should be zoo’d As you talk with your mouth full of food. Cause you know we’re all put in a terrible mood When you talk with your mouth full of food.” They pleaded and begged. He just giggled and chewed. He laughed with his mouth full of food. And all they advised him he simply poo-poo’d He poo-poo’d with his mouth full of food. So they sent for the gluer to have his mouth glued Cause he talked with his mouth full of food. And now instead of “Good morning”, he says, “Gnu Murnood. I wun tuk win mny marf furu foog.”

My favorite type of books are the detective series. I like Robert Ludlum’s books. He has so many and his recent books have been penned by other authors. They are still very good. I also like James Patterson, Michael Connelly, David Baldacci, etc…

They are all great writers and story tellers. Gives you a moment to get away from the real world.

Abe must be losing a step…. My favorite food related book/series comes from Brian Jacques Redwall series. While these are definitely not food books,they would fall right into your kids fantasy category. Jacques does an amazing job describing the feasts of his all animal casts. One of the most vivid memories I have from the entire series is use of the term “tender vittles” to describe the huge feasts throughout the stories.
