Another much anticipated book that languished on my shelves for far too long. This alphabet challenge gave me a reason to advance it to the top of my TBR.
Yet, I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. I wasn't expecting Julie to be as sardonic (she's a New Yorker, but via Texas) or whiny (usually in interactions with her husband). I do think this is her style of humor - a sarcastic, biting humor, but it didn't work for me.
And while I appreciate the carnivore way of using the whole animal - if I wasn't a vegetarian before, I would certainly be after reading detailed preparations about bone marrow, calf liver, brains, kidneys and LIVE lobster killing.
