Environmentally Friendly Food

So the next meeting is a potluck at my place. I think we decided on doing an all-out dinner this time, right? I'm going to make a really fancy salad of some sort. We could barbecue too. This begins our lengthy list of scrumptious food.

Orphan Love

Here's the a synopsis of Orphan Love, by Nadia Bozak which will replace The Wizard of the Crow:

Winter is giving way to spring in Black Dew Seat, a rough-and-tumble trailer park town in Northern Ontario. The year is 1989, and Bozak is on the run, fleeing a buried body and an unthinkable betrayal. She stumbles into Dave, a Native Indian with a dark past, a beat-up canoe, and an escape route to the Hudson River and New York City. But their journey to the new world becomes a dangerous game of the hunter and the hunted when Dave''s past catches up to him, and Bozak''s thirst for revenge won''t be quenched. Weaving together the lonely landscape of northern Canada and the man-made terrain of New York City,and heavy metal with punk-rock culture, Nadia Bozak has written a beautiful, dark and wholly original love story of two subterranean souls searching for identity and redemption. "A blunt and surly exploration of backwoods sex, violence and emotional disorder. Hard-edged misfits and outcasts in a tale that tempts you down unfamiliar paths. Nadia Bozak''s sharp eye captures these lives with authenticity and undeniable power." - Kenneth J. Harvey, author of Inside "Orphan Love has all the scalding, fierce energy of a comet whizzing through the coldest dark. Bozaks characters are beaten up and brave and very, very much alive. Here is a coming of age story full of horror and hard-won hope. Here is the voice of a storyteller afraid of nothing, generous and wickedly bold. This novel burns bright." --Lisa Moore, author of Alligator
