Review title: Mostly nostalgia Product review: I expected something a little more interesting from Shirley Jackson, author of the classic horror stories "The Lottery" and "The Haunting of Hill House." This is a book June Cleaver could have written if she'd had Jackson's facility with the English language. The stories about Jackson's children and her trials with her old home are charming, but the overall effect is achingly dated. Was there really a time, not so long ago, when women cared deeply about whether they served coffee in mugs or demitasse cups? If so, hurrah for women's lib.This book is good for nostalgia, if you want to remember a time when moms stayed home with their kids, couples played bridge, and the most rascally thing a kid could do was throw rocks at the neighbor's boy.

Review title: Good Cookbook Even for Non-Vegans Product review: This book is a great guide for cooking vegan food, even if you're not a vegan. Most of the recipes are delicious, and they span a really wide array of foods. There are also a ton of tips on how to prepare and use vegan/veggie ingredients, which can be a little challenging for people not used to cooking with tofu, seitan, substituting applesauce, etc. For people just trying to eat a little more responsibly, and not going entirely vegan, this is a great book to have on your shelf for meatless mondays, or just to have something to do with those vegan ingredients you enthusiastically and cluelessly bought in the store. The cooking skill required is really minimal, and any specialized technique it walks you through. Very easy, good variety, nice flavors. I've found a few clunkers, but overall, this book is a great addition to my kitchen bookshelf.

Product review: I bought this about a month ago and used the whole container in a 300sf area in my yard to deter pests from coming on my property. I had noticed for about a week it seemed to be clear of some cats, but after that, it was a field day!
