Review of Seduced by Bacon: Recipes & Lore about America's Favorite Indulgence (Hardcover)

I feel vindicated!I knew I loved bacon for several good reasons, and now we know that there are others out there just like me including the likes of James Beard & Julia Child.I love that the author educates and entertains us with the history of bacon.I'm a picture book lover and this book is loaded.Even if you can't cook (like me) you've got to try some of these recipes (the Bacon-Popped Popcorn is outrageously good).

Review of Walking Magazine The Complete Guide To Walking: for Health, Fitness, and Weight Loss (Paperback)

The Complete Guide to Walking is everthing you need to get started with (or to get better at) a walking program. Mark Fenton covers just about every topic you can think of asking about, from beginning to advanced programs, gearing up for walks, and treadmills, to stretching, nutrition, strength training, and getting you motivated and enthusiastic about walking. His easy writing style, his humor and enthusiasm go a long way to get you off the couch and out the door to enjoy all the pleasures of a good walk. The book itself is beautifully laid out with many color photos, interesting sidebars and stories, and a one-year log incorporated into the book to help you along. The resource list is comprehensive, with clubs, apparel, gear manufacturers, strollers, and walkable-community information. I am using this book as my guide for weight loss and better health, and give it my highest recommendation. If you've never been able to get with any kind of physical activity consistently, this is the book that will help you do it!
