Reading: Tender at the Bone, Ruth Reichl  

Why did you want to read this? It had been several years since I'd read Tender, but it was the first book that came to mind. A memoir by American food writer Ruth Reichl, it’s filled with stories that make me laugh and at times almost cry. It was maybe the first 'food writing' I enjoyed reading. One of the most tender themes of the book is Ruth's relationship with her mother - something she shares from the first chapter. Many parts of the book resonate with me, even more so since moving 5000 miles away from my family.   

How did you record yourself? I sat on my couch with my laptop beside me, propped up on a blanket to bring it a little closer to my voice. I used Audacity (as recommended by you!) since I hadn't previously recorded myself so didn't know how else to do it!
