You can try all sorts of mouthwatering combinations like the BLT, Thai Peanut, Roasted Veggie and Goat Cheese, Parmesan-Crusted Italian, Philly Cheesesteak, Roasted Ratatouille, and Chicken Caesar. Even dessert quesadillas like Triple Chocolate Decadence, Peanut Butter Apple, and S’mores have made their debut. Quesadillas are so simple, delicious, and easy to make. So, why not make your favorite meal or dessert into a quesadilla?“After an introduction featuring cooking techniques, ingredient tips, and serving suggestions, Kelly…shares specific instructions for beginners on, e.g., how to remove pepper seeds…These simple recipes, with ten ingredients or fewer, are perfect to make with children.

Patience Worth

Casper S. Yost

Patience Worth is an examination of the communications between a seventeenth century woman and a certain Mrs. Curran of St. Louis, in 1913. Contact with the spirit world or parlor trick? If the latter, it was well done: the quick-witted repartee appeared unrehearsed, the language was authentic, the references to English nature and life accurate, although Mrs. Curran had never visited England. Mrs. Curran, herself, was a smart, quick-witted socialite of good repute, unlikely to have been a fraudster. She did not 'perform' publicly, only in front of friends and invited guests, and never for money. She was a musician by training, not a writer or poet, yet many of the communications took the form of blank verse and were of a poetical nature. Since its publication, the phenomenon has been much studied and general view is that Patience Worth was the invention of Pearl Curran's imagination. In this volume, we are presented with the evidence and left to decide for ourselves. - Summary by Lynne Thompson
