Dinner with Edward - The Story of an Unexpected Friendship

Isabel Vincent

Summary

A memoir of food and friendship “combining the warm-heartedness of Tuesdays with Morrie with the sensual splendor of Julie and Julia” (Booklist, starred review). Isabel Vincent first arrives at Edward’s New York apartment to check on him as a favor to his daughter. She has no idea that the nonagenarian baking a sublime roast chicken and a light-as-air apricot soufflé will end up changing her life. But their meeting comes at a moment of transition for each of them: Edward wants nothing more than to follow his late wife to the grave, while Isabel is watching her marriage unravel. As Edward and Isabel meet weekly for the glorious dinners that Edward prepares, he shares so much more than his recipes for apple galette or the perfect martini, or even his tips for deboning poultry. Edward teaches Isabel the art of slowing down, taking the time to think through her own life—cutting it back to the bone and examining the guts, no matter how messy that proves to be.Dinner with Edward is a book about love and nourishment, and about how dinner with a friend can, in the words of M. F. K. Fisher, “sustain us against the hungers of the world.” “A rare, beautifully crafted memoir that leaves you exhilarated.” —Rosemary Sullivan, author of Stalin’s Daughter “This is a memoir to treasure.” —Booklist (starred review)

Unbroken: True Story of Sexual...

Lisa E. F. Hereford

** Fair warning:  This is a true story of sexual abuse, drugs, rape, betrayal and triumph **


**Warning:  This book contains crude language and is not for the faint of heart**


As I sat down to write this story about my life, I had to think a long time about how to start my story.

I learned early that you cannot substitute water for milk on cereal so when there was no milk in the house, I just ate it dry.

Dad was pretty cranky just as a general rule. He’d come home from work and throw a temper tantrum at all the dirty dishes and no supper and Mom would say, “Oh shut up and drink your beer.”

It was not a nice thing, the way Len started treating me. I remember scenes like the time he pushed me and sat on me.

I had to stop and think about what happened next in this sick saga.

Heikin Ashi Trader

Scalping is Fun!

Part 3: How do I rate my Trading Results?

Scalping is the fastest way to make money in the stock market. There is hardly a more effective method for increasing a trader’s capital. The Heikin Ashi Trader explains why this is so in this four-part series about scalping.

In this third book, the Heikin Ashi Trader answers the question of how the trading results of a scalper are analyzed and correctly evaluated. Based on the weekly results of a single trader, he examines what factors matter to having long-term success in the stock market. The analysis of the trading journal for 12 weeks allows an inside look at the learning curve of a budding professional.

This highly effective scalping strategy applies to short time frames, such as the 1-minute chart, as well as longer periods. You can trade, using this universal method, in equity indices and in the currency markets. Typical instruments are futures, foreign exchange, and CFDs.
