Review: Fall Baking

Taste of Home Fall Baking: 275+ Breads, Pies, Cookies and More!
Paperback – September 13, 2022
by Taste of Home (Editor)

We finished reading this cookbook today. It's the inspiring kind that makes me want to hole up in the kitchen and bake until the whole house smells like fall. It uses a lot of autumn ingredients such as apples, pears, sweet potatoes, and warming spices. The recipes range from simple to elaborate.

Sanders' High School Reader

Sanders' High School Reader by Charles Walton Sanders

The final reading program with more elocution exercises. The standards by which the choices were made are laid out in the preface.

So again the interesting thing to the modern reader is probably the choices. Scientific, religious, political, historical -- poems, speeches, essays --

The religious is sometimes generically theistic, sometimes Christian, sometimes specifically Protestant (in a passage where it is explicitly stated that the contemplative vocation is non-existent).
