What I ate in one year : (and related thoughts) / by Tucci, Stanley,author.;
"Sharing food is one of the purest human acts." Food has always been an integral part of Stanley Tucci's life: from stracciatella soup served in the shadow of the Pantheon, to marinara sauce cooked between rehearsals and costume fittings, to homemade pizza eaten with his children before bedtime. Now, in 'What I Ate in One Year', Tucci records twelve months of eating--in restaurants and kitchens, on film sets and press junkets, at home and abroad, with friends, with family, with strangers, and occasionally just by himself. Ranging from the mouthwateringly memorable, to the comfortingly domestic, to the infuriatingly inedible, the meals memorialized in this diary are a prism for him to reflect on the ways his life and his family are constantly evolving. Through food, he marks--and mourns--the passing of time and the loss of loved ones, and prepares himself for what is to come. Whether it's canard à la orange eaten with fellow actors and cooked by singing Carmelite nuns, steaks barbecued at a gathering with friends, or meatballs made by his mother and son and shared at the table with three generations of his family, these meals give shape and add emotional richness to his days. 'What I Ate in One Year' is a funny, poignant, heartfelt, and deeply satisfying serving of memories and meals and an irresistible celebration of the profound role that food plays in all our lives.

Open house : a life in thirty-two moves / by Christmas, Jane,author.;
"Moving house has never flustered author Jane Christmas. She loves houses: viewing them, negotiating their price, dreaming up interior plans, hiring tradespeople to do the work and overseeing renovations. She loves houses so much that she's moved thirty-two times. There are good reasons for her latest house move, but after viewing sixty homes, Jane and her husband succumb to the emotional fatigue of an overheated English housing market and buy a wreck in the town of Bristol that is overpriced, will require more money to renovate than they have and that neither of them particularly like. As Jane's nightmare renovation begins, her mind returns to the Canadian homes where she grew up with parents who moved and renovated constantly around the Toronto area. Suddenly, the protective seal is blown off Jane's memory of a strict and peripatetic childhood and its ancillary damage--lost friends, divorces, suicide attempts--and the past threatens to shake the foundations of her marriage. This latest renovation dredges a deeper current of memory, causing Jane to question whether in renovating a house she is in fact attempting to renovate her past. With humour and irreverence, Open House reveals that what we think we gain by constantly moving house actually obscures the precious and vital parts of our lives that we leave behind. This is a memoir that will appeal to anyone whose pulse quickens at the mere mention of real estate."--
