In this life, we go through situations that allow us to act. We act mentally then physically. And when we act, there is a reaction. A reaction both mentally, then physically we respond; not always in the correct way, not always with wisdom. People, places and things are affected by our actions: Always whether we are aware of it or not. That is a lot of pressure on a person - to always know that every action has a reaction and that for the most part, all things are affected by our actions. Consider this is exactly that: Consider this before you act and Consider this before you react. Not all of us have someone in our lives that can be that physical voice of reason. A physical confirmation to what God has been guiding us to do. This is a positive realistic approach to consider when you have considered it all, or nothing at all. Dr. B. Elizabeth Short-Clark is president and founder, of Kingdom Kare Christian Counseling, and a Ministry that bears her name.

Life is full of surprises in this tempting world, how we handle these moments depends entirely on how balanced we live. Choices surround us from morning to night, as do nature and the universe. How we engage with our beliefs along the path is what will get us to the destination, whether that be a smooth or rough journey with light or dark energy. I have shared my deepest moments in honesty while trusting my choices, be them good or bad. We cannot hide from our past, we cannot relive it, yet we are able to adjust our decisions moving forward to achieve anything that our soul desires. You are not alone on this planet or in this universe, only once a human interacts with their basic life structure, will this truly become apparent. A life filled with temptation of the flesh will result in an obstacle of tests that have become our own choice and detriment. A life chosen to be fulfilled with appreciation and gratitude for the gift of what we have been given. There are signs along the way, what we choose to do with them and how we perceive them all ties up with our choices. Our past and family history has a major effect on what we currently experience, have already witnessed and what the future will unfold.

M. F. K. Fisher, whom John Updike has called our “poet of the appetites,” here pays tribute to that most enigmatic of ocean creatures, the oyster. As she tells of oysters found in stews, in soups, roasted, baked, fried, prepared à la Rockefeller or au naturel—and of the pearls sometimes found therein—Fisher describes her mother’s joy at encountering oyster loaf in a girls’ dorm in the 1890s, recalls her own initiation into the “strange cold succulence” of raw oysters as a young woman in Marseille and Dijon, and explores both the bivalve’s famed aphrodisiac properties and its equally notorious gut-wrenching powers. Plumbing the “dreadful but exciting” life of the oyster, Fisher invites readers to share in the comforts and delights that this delicate edible evokes, and enchants us along the way with her characteristically wise and witty prose. “Consider the Oyster marks M. F. K. Fisher’s emergence as a storyteller so confident that she can maneuver a reader through a narrative in which recipes enhance instead of interrupt the reader’s attention to the tales. She approaches a recipe as a published dream or wish, and the stories she tells here...are also stories of the pleasures and disillusionments of dreams fulfilled.”—PATRICIA STORACE, The New York Review of Books “Since Lewis Carroll no one had written charmingly about that indecisively sexed bivalve until Mrs. Fisher came along with her Consider the Oyster. Surely this will stand for some time as the most judicious treatment in English.”—CLIFFTON FADIMAN

Award-winning food writer Bee Wilson's secret history of kitchens, showing how new technologies - from the fork to the microwave and beyond - have fundamentally shaped how and what we eat. Since prehistory, humans have braved sharp knives, fire, and grindstones to transform raw ingredients into something delicious -- or at least edible. But these tools have also transformed how we consume, and how we think about, our food. In Consider the Fork, award-winning food writer Bee Wilson takes readers on a wonderful and witty tour of the evolution of cooking around the world, revealing the hidden history of objects we often take for granted. Technology in the kitchen does not just mean the Pacojets and sous-vide machines of the modern kitchen, but also the humbler tools of everyday cooking and eating: a wooden spoon and a skillet, chopsticks and forks. Blending history, science, and personal anecdotes, Wilson reveals how our culinary tools and tricks came to be and how their influence has shaped food culture today. The story of how we have tamed fire and ice and wielded whisks, spoons, and graters, all for the sake of putting food in our mouths, Consider the Fork is truly a book to savor.

"Classical education is an education of the heart and conscience as much as it is an education of the mind. This book explores the classical emphasis on formation of character and links Charlotte Masons ideas to the thinkers of the past. This is not a 'how to' book about education, but a 'why to' book that will bring clarity to many of the ideas you already know about teaching and learning"--Back cover.
