The family table : recipes and moments from a nomadic life / by Smollett-Warwell, Jazz,author.; Smollett-Bell, Jurnee,1986-author.; Smollett, Jake,author.; Smollett, Jussie,1983-author.;
Before actors and Food Network stars Jazz, Jake, Jurnee, and Jussie Smollett conquered Hollywood, they spent their childhood crisscrossing the United States. Moving coast to coast thirteen times, they car-tripped to small towns and big cities across America. But no matter where they lived, two things remained constant: their incredible family feasts and the long, wooden kitchen table where they shared food and lived their lives. Each time they arrived in a new home, their mother would transform planks of hardwood into a smooth, varnished butcher block table in a beloved ritual that took three days. That hand-crafted table would become the heart of the Smollett clan, where the most important and cherished events and accomplishments, no matter how large or small, were honored, and where holidays were celebrated: Christmas, Easter, Passover, Chanukah, birthdays, milestones. With a mother from New Orleans and a Jewish father from New York who met and married in California, the Smollett kids were exposed to diverse culinary heritages and grew up open to all the deliciousness the world had to offer. In this warm and personal book, the Smolletts invite us all to take a seat at their table and enjoy the good times and good food that help families thrive. The Family Table includes more than 130 delicious, comforting recipes that pay tribute to their past and present.

The secret pocket / by Janicki, Peggy.; Victor, Carrielynn,1982-;
The true story of how Indigenous girls at a Canadian residential school sewed secret pockets into their dresses to hide food and survive. Mary was four years old when she was first taken away to the Lejac Indian Residential School. It was far away from her home and family. Always hungry and cold, there was little comfort for young Mary. Speaking Dakelh was forbidden and the nuns and priest were always watching, ready to punish. Mary and the other girls had a genius idea: drawing on the knowledge from their mothers, aunts and grandmothers who were all master sewers, the girls would sew hidden pockets in their clothes to hide food. They secretly gathered materials and sewed at nighttime, then used their pockets to hide apples, carrots and pieces of bread to share with the younger girls. Based on the author's mother's experience at residential school, The Secret Pocket is a story of survival and resilience in the face of genocide and cruelty. But it's also a celebration of quiet resistance to the injustice of residential schools and how the sewing skills passed down through generations of Indigenous women gave these girls a future, stitch by stitch.

Mind your manners : how to be your best self in any situation / by Ho, Sara Jane,1985-author.;
"Etiquette, Sara Jane says, is the glue that holds society together. Humans are social creatures, after all-we need connection to survive. But with global cultures in flux and the post-pandemic digital age, the shadow epidemics of anxiety and loneliness are on the rise. Plus, the old rules of "decorum" don't match the times. Amidst all this withdrawal and change, social growth can feel out of reach. How do we leave the comfort of our homes, step away from our screens, and interact face to face? How do we create genuine bonds with people we've just met, and how do we maintain those ties throughout our lives? Even the most resilient social butterflies among us face sticky situations -- from accidentally-sent invites to unruly work and family encounters -- any advice would help. In her signature, cheeky yet pragmatic style, Sara Jane imparts a lifetime's worth of lessons, pro-tips, and FAQs on social and digital etiquette across the five main microcultures in our lives: Friendship & Social Life, Work, Dating & Relationships, Family, and Food & Travel. From jumping everyday hurdles to discerning unspoken, cross-cultural cues, Mind Your Manners helps us feel the joy and transformation of social fluency -- that deep comfort that comes from connection, inclusion, and presenting our best self in any situation"--

Time loops & meet cutes : a novel / by Lau, Jackie,author.;
Noelle Tom really shouldn't have eaten those dumplings at the night market. But the old woman at the stall said they'd give her what she needed most, and what Noelle desperately needed after another long workweek was food. Except now she's reliving the same Friday. Every morning her alarm goes off at 6:45, and the Wordle answer is always "happy." Worst of all, any work she does at her job as an engineer? It's erased when she wakes up. Monday might never come in this workaholic's nightmare. Noelle has no idea how being trapped in a time loop is the "thing she needed most," and a trip to the food stall doesn't help ... because there's no sign of it. Then she meets good-looking Cam, who appears in multiple places on her Friday. While the brewery owner seems to have no memory of their encounters, there are signs he might be the key to getting un-stuck. But Noelle can't figure out how, even when she steps outside of her comfort zone and lives a little. As she grows attached to him, she becomes more worried that she'll never escape the loop and he'll never recall her name. And if she does ever get out, can they be together in the "real" world?

Scarcity brain : fix your craving mindset and rewire your habits to thrive with enough / by Easter, Michael(Health and fitness writer),author.;
Are we hardwired to crave more? From food and stuff to information and influence, why can't we ever get enough? The author of The Comfort Crisis shows us how to overcome our built-to-crave mindset and discover the tools to finally feel satisfied. Anything is fine in moderation. But why are we so bad at moderating? Michael Easter, one of the world's leading experts on behavior change, shows that the problem isn't you. The problem is your scarcity mindset, left over from our ancient ancestors. They had to constantly seek and consume to survive because vital survival tools like food, material goods, information, power, and more were scarce and hard to find. But with our modern ability to easily fulfill our ancient desire for more, our hardwired "scarcity brain" is now backfiring. And new technology and institutions -- from dating and entertainment apps to our food and economic systems -- are exploiting our scarcity brain. They're bombarding us with subversive "scarcity cues," subtle triggers that lead us into low-reward cravings that hurt us in the long run. Scarcity cues can be direct and all-encompassing, like a sagging economy. Or they can be subtle and slight, like our neighbor buying a shiny new car. Easter traveled the world to consult with remarkable innovators and leading scientists who are finding surprising solutions for our scarcity brain. He discovered simple tactics that can move us towards an abundance mindset, cement healthy habits, and allow us to live our lives to the fullest and appreciate what we have, including how to: Detect hidden scarcity cues to stop cravings before they start, from a brilliant slot machine designer in a Las Vegas casino laboratory ; Turn alone time into the ultimate happiness hack, from artisanal coffee-making Benedictine monks ; Reignite your exploration gene for a more exciting and fulfilling life, from an astronaut onboard the International Space Station ; Reframe how we think about and fix addiction and bad habits, from Iraq's chief psychiatrist ; Recognize when you have enough, from a woman who left a million-dollar career path to adventure the world. Our world is overloaded with everything we're built to crave. The fix for scarcity brain isn't to blindly aim for less. It's to understand why we crave more in the first place, shake our worst habits, and use what we already have better. Then we can experience life in a new way -- a more satisfying way.
