Time to reread a favourite book of mine,

'Being Mortal - Aging, Illness, Medicine, and What Matters in the End'
By Atul Gawande

Recommended reading for anyone who knows anyone who is getting older or who will be getting older themselves at some point.

@Leisureguy @EllieK @bookstodon This Life-Saving Checklists article was fascinating! I plan to read “Sharing Slow Ideas” also & see if our library has (or will get) his book. Dr. Gawande is an excellent writer (where does he find the time?!) & I appreciate you both for sharing these posts! ❤️

@EllieK @Leisureguy @bookstodon Our wonderful library has both books, along with “Better” & “Complications.”
It’ll be awhile before I can read any of them, tho, as I’m currently reading “Pathogenisis” (ebook) & Neil Gaiman’s “The Ocean at the End of the Lane,” & am expecting “King Leopold’s Ghost,” which is enroute from a different library. 📚🐷😁

Book cover of “King Leopold’s Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror, and Heroism in Colonial Africa” by Adam Hochschild.

Many of today’s unhealthy foods were brought to you by Big Tobacco

Called the tempeh done at 80 hours.

The desi chickpea and purple barley batch has now been sectioned and refrigerated. Here's the whole story:
