It is unfortunate indeed that such a fine volume boasts just two prior reviews.

One needs only to read an essay or two of those collected here to see that Mr. Mitchell was a well-educated, fully informed individual. But his ability to write in a voice that transcended his obviously cultured status, to make his points accessible to people of all backgrounds in a thoughtful, mannerly, and humorous -- always humorous -- style, is an ability his modern-day contemporaries would be smart to emulate. (Are you listening, Maureen Dowd?? Oh, forgive me -- why would we expect you to start now?)

Still, Mitchell's discretion could give way to much stronger sounding of his opinion, and flat-out satire that was without peer. Even when it did, Mitchell managed to maintain the tone of rationality and etiquette which was the underpinning of all his work, and which is sadly lacking on today's op-ed pages. This indefinable quality -- and the sheer quality of the writing itself -- sets Mitchell's work apart.

I love this book. Mitchell is unfortunately dead, but when alive he could write like an angel. A random example:

"No man is a hero while brushing his teeth or clipping hair out of his ears. He needs some kind of warning that this is the moment to act."

He shares himself (a locution he might mock)as he observes the passing world. If you enjoy E.B. White or Russell Baker, buy this book.

Beloved of all long-time Washington Post readers, Henry Mitchell covered everything from his hound to the Mapplethorpe exhibit with wisdom, humor, and profound insight. This is a selection of some of the best of his Any Day columns. Never preaching, but always with a point, Mitchell's writing is so personal that thousands who never met him felt his death as the loss of a wise and compassionate friend. You will laugh, cry, and rejoice that you have met him here. The Christmas Eve battle between the Altar Guild and the Ushers is by itself worth the price of the book. This, and the two collections of his Earthman (gardening) columns, are books to read and re-read.

I'm not much of a cook, but this is my all time favorite cookbook. I have never made a meal from this book that didn't turn out really well. Even a beginner can be successful with this cookbook. I especially like the fact that the recipes call for mostly fresh ingredients as opposed to canned items.

I have used this book, and others in the series, for years now. There are numerous recipes of quick delicious food that really do take only 30 minutes to prepare. Each page or two is a menu suggesting appetizer, side dishes and a main dish and desert, along with a wine suggestion. I pick and mix the dishes or just run through a whole menu. They have basic dishes and dishes from around the world. Nothing is too complicated and the instructions are very clear. The photographs make everything look great. Highly recommended.

This book will change your life because once you understand and practise the power of giving praise to yourself as well as to others, you will learn to be bold. It is written in a clear but lively style. There are no big buzz words, no hype, no jargon. Praise is not flattery. Praise is simple, direct, specific and sincere. Praise is the catalyst that will give you wings. This book will inspire you to solve conflict, create relationships, strengthen work practices by using praise. By reading this book you will feel bold enough to take that leap, risk that change or just be content to be the person you already are. Give yourself a treat. Buy this book. And then buy others to give to those people you love.

You will be drawn into Mitchell's musical and mysterious creation that is as dangerously tempting as it is playful. Each poem feels like a "bird calling, always up ahead, yearning me deeper in." The same voice that sings "Bye Baby Bunting" and "Wimble and wight" and speaks of whipping the self to "glees of teeter" also speaks of the desire that is "clawing/ the body, finding the weakest spot to break out of."

Mitchell explores human desire and the hungers of this animal existence. "Think flicker and fluid and flow" and you will be caught up in the lyrical transformation that the language lures us into. The poems pull and tug and tempt and stir. Their worlds are worlds worth entering. "What is so strange / it feels like home? It calls. I follow."

This volume of poetry is one of the most impressive I've read in a long time. S. Mitchell is the only poet I know who can successfully fit all the essential ingredients of enduring poetry with innovative, contemporary charm, in such a fiercely high spirited way, into one poem. Really, in short, this book blew me away.

Mitchell's energy is such that you feel she is taking you to ride a little on the wild side -- this is also, perhaps, where the innovative elements of her poems come in. I was disappointed when my friend didn't seem to like this volume (after I had recommended it so eagerly), and it is no surprise that she prefers classical *sensible* poetry -- with rigid meters, rhymes or some definite form -- and if you are a reader who prefers such poems, I wouldn't at first recommend this book to you. However, if you are not the exacting type, and rather than scrutinizing want to enjoy a fabulous book of poetry, I highly recommend this. But I believe this book also certainly deserves being recommended to even the 'classical' poet. There is just something universal about the spirit of poetry that Mitchell portrays so perfectly in her words, and I guarantee that you'll agree, after you give this a fair chance.

I've had my copy for several years. It has been used time and time again. I've not tried a bad recipe yet. My children enjoy the food, especially the poppy seed chicken. Another favorite is the plantation rice. There are too many fabulous recipes to list them all. Get your own copy, you will NOT be sorry.

This book makes you understand why you feel and act the way you do when you are hungry and under stress. It shows how eating the wrong foods at the wrong times can aggravate the way you feel. It also shows how eating the right foods at the right time can alleviate the feeling of stress and lack of energy. This book is easy to read, even injects humor, and has a simple plan that can adapt to anyone's lifestyle or eating style. I found it really helped me understand why I had trouble getting to sleep at night and why I felt so draggy during the middle of the day. Changing a few simple eating habits eliminated these problems and have made me feel 100% better. Everyone would probably benefit from reading this book, even if they think they already know everything!

If you feel like me--tired, stressed, harried--and react by eating sweets or chips, you have to get I'd Kill for a Cookie. Drs. Mitchell and Christie outdid themselves with this easy-to-read handbook; they certainly must have known how I react to stress--one cookie at a time until the WHOLE bag is gone. The EAT Plan they teach is not difficult to implement in one's daily lifestyle, and the good news is that it really works. I've already lost the nine pounds gained from the pressures of exams this year, and it was not painful. Following the EAT Plan, I still enjoyed a small bowl of my favorite Edie's Rocky Road Light Ice Cream each night! Yet more important that that, I have learned to monitor my commitments so that I don't take on more than I can handle. Not only does the EAT Plan work, but the lists of ways to break the stress-eating habit can help anyone who is indulging in the wrong way. If life's interruptions make you crave food, read this book! It will change the way you react to stress forever. This is a must-read! When is the next book coming out?!

This book gives the WHY, HOW and REPLY to those who want to increase their energy levels and conquer the inappropriate eating habits that lead to poor health. In an easy to follow format, the book provides understandable solutions that can be achieved in only six weeks. By following the simple tips provided by two accredited and renowned nutritionists, the reader can implement the E.A.T. plan and immediately get results in the struggle with stress related eating problems. This books helps the person that can resist everything but temptation. I hope I have tempted you to read it. The book is a definite guide to a better YOU! Try it; what have you got to lose? This book can help you lose it and achieve increased energy levels while improving your daily eating habits. I definitely recommend this book for anyone wanting to improve their quality of life!

My introduction to May Swenson came when I recently met the person to whom all of her work has been bequeathed. I found May Swenson's work to be very accessible, which is not the "vogue" in poetry at the moment. Anyone can understand and be touched. Her childlike humor mixed with her sometimes profound subject matter makes this book a treasure trove of sweet, funny, heart-wrenching, fascinating poems that you'll want to flip in and out of over and over again. It has made me interested in the rest of her work and life.
