"Life's a Fish and Then You Fry" takes a romp through the culinary curiosities of coastal Alaska. With snappy cooking tips from Randy Bayliss, and the weird and wonderful art of Ray Troll, this is not your mother's cookbook.
In addition to celebrating the extraordinary fish artist, this beautiful book also pays tribute to the world of zoological and anthropological creatures he renders with a blend of biological accuracy and surreal, offbeat humor.
Artist Ray Troll has developed a huge cult following for his humorous and scientifically accurate paintings of fish and fossils. He has successfully carved out his own category of artwork using colorful pen and ink to create drawings about fish, fish worship, evolution, and dinosaurs, all humorously captioned and technically accurate. Over a three-decade career, he has exhibited in all major scientific museums in America and managed to sell over 2 million t-shirts along the way. This collection of the artist's most popular t-shirt art features captions such as "Spawn Till You Die," "Cowasockeye," "The Baitful Dead," "Fish Worship: Is It Wrong," and "Tortured Sole," Ray Troll's appeal is both funky and funny.

Socialite April Westerman has it all, or so it seems. Jaded from betrayal, blackmail and devastating losses, she has sworn off love. But Joe Cortez is making her question that decision. He's a beast of a man, intimidating, protective and yet, sweet. He is everything she wants, and every reason she needs to stay away. Joe chips away at the walls April erected until she finally lets him in. But when her past comes back to haunt her, she once more pushes him out of her life. Suspecting she's in trouble, Joe steals her away to the mountains, hoping to save her. When tragedy puts Joe's survival in April's hands, secrets of the past threaten to ruin any chance of love.
With over 200 delicious recipes and the latest scientific research, bestselling author Maggie Beer and leading Alzheimer’s researcher Professor Ralph Martins show us how to eat and live well to promote optimum brain health to help fight one of the most debilitating diseases of our later years. This second edition contains a new introduction and 13 recipes from the ABC TV series Maggie Beer’s Big Mission. This book is so important to me. To have a healthy old age you must act now, whether you are 30 or 50. I have two great passions – sharing my love of cooking delicious, simple food and improving the health and nutrition of older people. I hope this cookbook does both but it’s not for ‘old’ people, it’s for you. I have been delighted to work with leading Alzheimer’s researcher Professor Ralph Martins in recent years and I have learned that if we are to avoid Alzheimer’s and other lifestyle diseases it is what we eat today that matters. These are my recipes for every day, for everybody, full of deep flavours and beautiful ingredients that will nourish you and your family. Nobody wants to eat worthy food that tastes like cardboard. For me, food without flavour is unthinkable! And so is the notion of restricting whole food groups. My recipe for life is to have a healthy attitude to eating – it’s all about balance, variety and choosing foods that give you the best chance of being in good health now and into your future. This is not a diet book – it’s a way of life. This new edition includes recipes from my ABC TV show Maggie Beer’s Big Mission. ~ Maggie Beer Maggie Beer and Professor Ralph Martins have teamed up to fight one of the most debilitating diseases of our later years. Based on the latest scientific research, Maggie has created more than 200 recipes that help provide the nutrients we need for optimum brain health. More than one million Australians are affected every day by Alzheimer’s, directly or indirectly, but the good news is that you can eat well to age well, from this moment on. The proceeds from Maggie’s Recipe for Life are shared between the Maggie Beer Foundation and the Lions Alzheimer’s Foundation.
I want to tell you about my farm. It's not my farm. I live here but it's not mine. I will tell you though that the farmer does belong to me. We are raising the 4th generation of farmers on this farm. My husband's father's father bought this farm for him back in the 1930's. My father-in-law, along with the rest of the family, milked cows, grew corn and hay to feed to those cows, had hogs and chickens and pretty much every critter you can put on a farm, and grew tobacco. He raised 8 children on the farm. My husband, Jimmy, the farmer, will tell you that the farm really doesn't belong to him at all. It's his, to pass down to the next generation. In all aspects he is truly a steward of this land . . .
