  Learn how to select your animal, understand the breed, and how to use the products it will supply in this book written by a goat farmer for goat farmers.  
   
  Goats are the hottest animal today to raise for hobby farmers, commercial farmers, and members of both 4-H and FFA. But using the products from a goat requires special skills, handling, and recipes. Here's The Whole Goat Handbook, chock full of recipes, crafting projects, advice, and more. Cooking with goat meat requires special, adapted instructions because the meat is so strong in flavor; there's no devoted goat-meat cookbook on the market—until now! Here as well are recipes for making cheese with goat milk as well as goat-milk soap. And for those raising goats for fiber, here are hard-won recommendations on crafting, knitting, and weaving. This book shows you how to do all this—and more.

  From awkward schoolgirl to Caterer to the Stars, Mary Giuliani weaves together a collection of hilarious memories, from professional growing pains to her long journey to motherhood, never losing her sense of humor and her love for everyone's favorite party food, pigs in a blanket.Mary's utterly unremarkable childhood was everything she didn't want: hailing from a deeply loving yet overprotective Italian family in an all-Jewish enclave on Long Island. All she wanted was to fit in (be Jewish) and become famous (specifically a cast member on Saturday Night Live). With an easy, natural storytelling sensibility, Mary shares her journey from a cosseted childhood home to the stage and finally to the party, accidentally landing what she now refers to as "the breakthrough role of a lifetime" catering to a glittery list of stars she once hoped to be part of herself.Fresh, personal, and full of Mary's humorous, self-deprecating, and can-do attitude against all odds, you'll want to see where each shiny silver tray of hors d'oeuvres takes her next. You never know when the humble hot dog will be a crucial ingredient in the recipe for success, in building a business or simply making life more delicious.

  And a Bottle of Rum - A History...

  And a Bottle of Rum tells the raucously entertaining story of America as seen through the bottom of a drinking glass. With a chapter for each of ten cocktails, Wayne Curtis reveals that the homely spirit once distilled from the industrial waste of the exploding sugar trade has managed to infiltrate every stratum of New World society.Curtis takes us from the taverns of the American colonies, where rum delivered both a cheap wallop and cash for the Revolution, to the plundering pirate ships off the coast of Central America, to the watering holes of pre-Castro Cuba, and to the kitsch-laden tiki bars of 1950s America. Here are sugar barons and their armies conquering the Caribbean, Paul Revere stopping for a nip during his famous ride, Prohibitionists marching against "demon rum," Hemingway fattening his liver with Havana daiquiris, and today's bartenders reviving old favorites like Planter's Punch.Awash with local color and wry humor, And a Bottle of Rum is an affectionate toast to this most American of liquors, a chameleon spirit that has been constantly reinvented over the centuries by tavern keepers, bootleggers, lounge lizards, and marketing gurus.

  Loving Life at 50+ - Embrace...

  Maria Sabando

  Turning 50 is often a line in the sand for women. On one side is youth, on the other is the decline into old age. But that doesn’t mean we have to look old or act old — in fact, it’s quite the opposite. In our 50s we get the best of both worlds – the spryness of youth and the wisdom of aging. It’s the perfect decade to live our best lives and Maria Sabando has cracked the code on doing just that.  Through loads of fun, delicious, and healthy recipes sprinkled throughout, Maria motivates women to make food their friend, not their foe, and do it with pizazz as they entertain friends and family.  Maria loves yoga, and she introduces readers to a new pose in every chapter – encouraging them to find their own “yoga” – the exercise that feels like fun rather than work, helping to maintain a healthy weight with ease.  Along the way, she inspires readers to come to peace with their bodies. She helps women find a balance between enjoying food but not overindulging. Yet she’s no stranger to letting loose and having some fun, expressed in her quirky saying, “Indulge or you’ll bulge,” which means giving into temptation a little bit now so you can ward off the temptation to binge.  Through clever quips and true wisdom, Maria encourages women to embrace and enhance what makes them beautiful and release the rest with good humor. She goes well beyond giving tips to adopt a healthy lifestyle, eat well, and maintain a healthy weight. To Maria, these habits simply set the stage for readers to live the exact life they want to live, right now — one where women feel fully alive.  Yet, this is not just a self-help book. It’s also a memoir. Along the way, readers find a friend in Maria through personal stories that will make them laugh out loud at her mishaps and successes. It gives them a glimpse into what it was like growing up Italian in America, and being a bit of an Ita lian diva, today. Like listening to a familiar tune on the radio, women who grew up in the 60s and 70s will relate to her reminiscing and feel like they’re in a car loaded with friends, taking a ride through time with the top down.  This book is for every woman who could use a big shot of inspiration, a little boost, or simply a chance to laugh out loud as they step into their 50s and beyond. By the time readers turn the final page, they will have hundreds of clever ideas on how to craft a life of love, happiness, and meaning.
