I'm dying for peach pie, but am having trouble finding a nice, low-cal recipe. Can anyone help me out?
I LOVE peach pie with the crumbles on top... so a recipe for healthy crumbles would be nice too.
MMMM. Peach pie.*sounds like Homer Simpson*

Make a peach crumble instead. It has way less cals and carbs.
2 1/2 cups fresh or frozen fruit, such as blueberries, peaches, plums
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
3 tablespoons whole-wheat or all-purpose flour, divided
1 tablespoon orange juice
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup chopped almonds, or pecans
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons canola oil
1.Preheat oven to 400°F.
2.Combine fruit with granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon flour and orange juice. Divide among four 6-ounce ovenproof ramekins. Combine oats, nuts, brown sugar, the remaining 2 tablespoons flour and cinnamon. Drizzle with oil and stir to combine. Sprinkle over the fruit mixture. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet.
3.Bake until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Let stand for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Some will agree and some won't. BUT I use Splenda Blend to cut some of sugar in recipes. It is half Splenda and half sugar. I reduce the fat and calories in a lot of recipes and they taste just as good. Of course, eating ONE proper serving size is important (as opposed to half a carton or half a pie).

It's not exactly a peach pie BUT last night I took a Chobani Peach flavored tub and sprinkled brown sugar and oatmeal on top...tasted great to me! Plus it was really quick to make.

I made a mock one once. I sprayed a casserole dish added rinsed canned peaches, gave a spray of butter spray, lightly sprinkled cinnamon and brown sugar, then sprinkled oatmeal over the top. Finished with a slight butter spray. Bake. It was pretty good.

Peach crumble would definitely be less carbs and cals.
BUT, portion control is one of my hardest thing no matter how low calorie the dish is....
So, I would try baked peaches or something along this made up recipe off the top of my head:
Crunchy Roasted Peaches (a la mode):
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
4 medium ripe yet firm peaches, halved and pitted
4 tsp brown sugar, divided
4 tsp lemon juice, divided
about 1/4 cup apple juice or cider
about 1/4 cup Grape nuts cereal, or granola, or almond slices, or crumbled up graham crackers... Something crunchy.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
Coat baking pan with cooking spray. Place peaches cut side up on baking sheet. Poor a little apple juice over them (let it spill over a bit). Sprinkle each with a teaspoon of sugar and a teaspoon of lemon juice lemon juice (maybe some cinnamon over that as well). Sprinkle with something crunchy. I think the graham cracker crumbs would taste great.
Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender.
Top with fat-free Greek yogurt, a little bit of cool whip or some frozen yogurt
Serves 8
I'm Guessing each super filling peach half to be about: 125 calories. If you take away the a la mode about 75 calories.
You should try this with pears or apples too!!

"It is difficult to classify the characteristics of the Goof into columns of the physical and mental, because they interweave, reflect, and enhance one another. Therefore it will probably be best to mention everything all at once. Think of the Goof as a composite of an everlasting optimist, a gullible Good Samaritan, a half-wit, a shiftless, good-natured colored boy and a hick.note This little analysis has covered the Goof from top to toes, and having come to his end, I end."Goofy is one of the world's most iconic cartoon characters and the third member of Walt Disney's quintessential Power Trio, along with Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.Goofy first appeared in a Mickey Mouse short, Mickey's Revue, in 1932. After a few appearances in Mickey's cartoons and joining up with Mickey and Donald in classics such as Mickey's Fire Brigade and Lonesome Ghosts, Goofy eventually starred in his own series of cartoons, with his voice provided by Pinto Colvig. When Colvig left Disney, Goofy was left without a voice, so Disney made the best of a bad situation and conceived the How to... shorts, where most of the dialogue was done by a narrator, with Goofy's voice provided mostly by stock audio. The concept of the How to.. shorts was so well received, that they are a staple of Disney and considered some of Goofy's best cartoons. One of them, The Art of Skiing, introduced his trademark Goofy Holler (YAAAAAA-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOOEY!).In comic books of the 1970s, he had a Super Hero alter ego, Super Goof, that is still used in Italian stories. In the 1990s, he starred in a new TV series, Goof Troop, in which he and his son, Max, moved in next door to a Lighter and Softer version of Mickey's nemesis, Pete. This led to a movie based on the series; A Goofy Movie. Goofy is the only one of the Power Trio to get a full, non-segmented theatrical movie.One of the most noted qualities of Goofy's slapstick humour lies in the fact that when he does something guaranteed to result in Hilarity Ensues (which is just about everything he does), there is a blatantly obvious outcome as to how it will go wrong - for example, falling off a ledge, or crashing into something. The obvious outcome should never be the end of it, and must in itself lead to Disaster Dominoes that the audience did not see coming.Goofy also features in the Kingdom Hearts video game series as a shield-bearing knight and one of Sora's sidekicks alongside Donald.

I've been using the nuelectronics data logger shield for several months now and slowly learning how things work. All my testing up until recently has been done with Uno's and everything has worked fine, once I understood how things work. I recently hooked one of the shields up to my Mega 2560 and started getting garbage from the ds1302 RTC on it. It just gives 2165 as year and 165 for other numbers. If I take the same shield off (I have seven of them and I have tried them all) and put it on one of my Unos it runs the same sketch just fine, so it's not a software problem and the boards themselves seem to be fine. The Mega is still able to use the SD slot and the other pins on the shield, so it seems like everything is fine there, so I cannot understand why the Mega would be a problem. Is this a problem with using the SD card on the Mega since the software SPI interface is necessary? I'm using the sd.h library that's part of Arduino and the ds1302 library that is described here: http://sheepdogguides.com/arduino/ar3ne1rtc.htm. It's part of a library using Petit FAT file library that is suggested for use by Nuelectronics, and while I no longer use the petit FAT library, I didn't see a reason to change the RTC stuff since it works fine on the Uno. I've seen there are several other libraries for use with this chip and I'm considering switching to one, but that's going to add a lot of learning and debugging which would be fine if it works, but I don't want to waste a lot of time if it just turns out that there is some bug in the shield that keeps it from working with a Mega. Even the hope that this would work would be worth switching to a new library...
Has anyone run into this problem and found a workaround or had success with a particular library? I've contacted Nuelectronics three times and haven't heard back (my first email was over a month ago when I first found this problem). I have to admit that I can get away without the RTC for the current project I'm working on, but there are some good things I could do if I did have it working properly. Any suggestions/help would be appreciated! I have attached the simplest code I'm using that just reads and displays the RTC time every second or so. Since it's not doing anything else, it seems it should work (and it does work on the Uno's) so I'm stumped...

AED Signs, Tags & Cabinet Labels
AED signs and labels help direct lifesavers to AED's in emergency situations
On a monthly basis, different production team members and front office employees have the opportunity to post their reasons why they work safely. It's a matter of pride for workers and a great daily reminder.
Accuform Signs traces its origins back more than 30 years, when Ron & Veronica Johnson focused on creating a company to meet a growing need for high-quality and affordable Facility Safety Identification products. From this small venture that offered just one type of product, the Johnson's gradually expanded, working to build the Accuform name and product line, while continuing to produce the industry-best Facility Safety Identification products.
Today, Accuform remains family-owned, and the founding focus set-forth decades ago continues. Since those first custom signs rolled off of the production line, Accuform has worked hard to establish a reputation built on quality, flexibility, convenience, industry knowledge and customer service. With that reputation, Accuform is now considered the leading Facility Safety Identification supplier in North America and beyond.
Over the years, Accuform has also worked very hard on taking the concept of workers returning safely home to loved ones from the abstract to the specific and personal. We call it Personalization.
Personalization grabs ones attention by highlighting the specific people and the specific places affected by safe operations. Personalized Facility Identification helps prevent injuries on a daily basis, and is often your last line of defense. These signs, labels, tags and banners lets companies warn employees of confined space, hazard communication, lockout/tagout, biohazards, personal protection, smoking control and much more. Accuform Signs is the leading manufacturer of Personalized ANSI and OSHA-compliant safety signs, safety tags, safety labels and other Facility Safety Identification products.
Personalization heightens the awareness and visibility of Facility Safety Identification products and helps workers keep track of safety protocols and everyday personal protection equipment (PPE) automatically.
When you have an important message to convey, consistent communication is a must. Repeated messages are remembered. Personalization makes it easy and affordable to communicate a consistent message throughout a facility. And Accuform has innovative products and imaginative programs that help implement Personalized procedures and protocols.
A Personalized Really Big Sign welcomes workers and visitors and maps traffic patterns; Visual Edge signs proudly display your companies dedication to safety and its employees; A Safety Signal Scoreboard can be mounted near the plant entrance or close to a time-clock; Personalized posters hang in the lunchroom; a Personalized Digi-Day® displays the number of days without a loss-of-time accident; a motivational banner is tied at the shipping dock.
These are just some of the ways Accuform makes it easy, with their selection of materials and color options for custom work – and their world-class customer service is there to help you through the mechanics to assure prompt delivery and accuracy. Custom orders can be for as few as one or two pieces because safety is that important to us.
Accuform believes that Personalization programs help companies go beyond compliance to a pro-active mode of active encouragement and advocacy for safe practices and safe workspaces. We understand about pride in one's work as well as pride in one's workplace.
At Accuform, Personalization is more than a concept; it's ownership from the minute you drive toward the entrance of the site to the minute you leave. Its pride in that ownership, excitement about coming to work, doing the job right as a team and getting home safely. It's about being a part of an industry where safety for lives of loved-ones matters. It's about the people who build this country and the families they do it for.

Anyone playing on Storrmrage-EU (H) knows about Vallupallu ... He leads PuGs and then gives loot to his guild members even if you roll higher.
He is a good player and all, but his ninjaing and big mouth always end in people hating him.
And there WAS also this guy, Unknownly, he was a 14-yr old always trying to act smart.
In fact, there is a little joke on the server ... When some1 starts acting annoyingly or childish on trade chat we ask them "Are you Unknownly/Vallupallu's alt?"
Oh yeah everyone knows him, my wife has spent many days just sat in a major city so she can read the Trade Channel spam it's highly amusing. Also worth a note about Stormrage with it being in the Top 5 highly populated servers you often find out breaking news in Trade Chat before anywhere else like for example when there was an earthquake in the UK near me or various famous deaths like micheal jackson.

A family in Encinitas, Calif., says yoga classes that are part of the curriculum in the local school district are inherently religious and violate the separation of church and state.
SAN DIEGO — An attorney representing a family bent out of shape over a public school yoga program in the beach city of Encinitas filed a lawsuit Wednesday to stop the district-wide classes.
In the lawsuit filed in San Diego Superior Court, attorney Dean Broyles argued that the twice weekly, 30-minute classes are inherently religious, in violation of the separation between church and state.
The plaintiffs are Stephen and Jennifer Sedlock and their children, who are students in the Encinitas Union School District.
"EUSD's Ashtanga yoga program represents a serious breach of the public trust," Broyles said. "Compliance with the clear requirements of law is not optional or discretionary. This is frankly the clearest case of the state trampling on the religious freedom rights of citizens that I have personally witnessed in my 18 years of practice as a constitutional attorney."
Related: Classrooms ditch student desk chairs for yoga balls
Superintendent Timothy B. Baird said he had not seen the lawsuit and could not directly comment on it, but he defended the district's decision to integrate yoga into its curriculum this year.
The district is believed to be the first in the country to have full-time yoga teachers at every one of its schools. The lessons are funded by a $533,000, three-year grant from the Jois Foundation, a nonprofit group that promotes Ashtanga yoga. Since the district started the classes at its nine schools in January, Baird said teachers and parents have noticed students are calmer, using the breathing practices to release stress before tests.
"We're not teaching religion," he said. "We teach a very mainstream physical fitness program that happens to incorporate yoga into it. It's part of our overall wellness program. The vast majority of students and parents support it."
Baird said the lawsuit would not deter the district from offering the classes.
Broyles said his clients took legal action after the district refused to take their complaints into account. He said the Sedlocks are not seeking monetary damages but are asking the court to intervene and suspend the program.
The lawsuit notes Harvard-educated religious studies professor Candy Gunther Brown found the district's program is pervasively religious, having its roots in Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist and metaphysical beliefs and practices.
While the lawsuit names only one family, dozens of parents feel the same way and oppose the program, Broyles said.
Children who have opted out of the program have been harassed and bullied, the plaintiffs allege. The children who opt out also are missing out on 60 of the 100 weekly minutes of physical activity required by the state, since they usually sit and read during the yoga lessons, the plaintiffs say.
Yoga is now taught at public schools from the rural mountains of West Virginia to the bustling streets of Brooklyn as a way to ease stress in today's pressure-packed world where even kindergartners say they feel tense about keeping up with their busy schedules. But most classes are part of an after-school program, or are offered only at a few schools or by some teachers in a district.
The Jois Foundation says it believes the program will become a national model to help schools teach students life skills.

Somehow my mushrooms didn't come out with a lot of flavor. I might roast them next time instead of sauteeing. I used Parmesan b/c I had it on hand - not bad.

This was a nice, creamy pizza, but mild in flavor, so if you like strong flavors or spicness like we do, you need to add something to give it a kick. Our Boboli crust didn't turn out crispy for some reason. Definitely worth making again.
cefriddell Posted: 03/12/09
This pizza turned out great! My husband and 2 year old daughter ate it heartily. I, however, made my own whole wheat crust since I had the time.
Suzycb Posted: 01/09/09
Wow, crazy delicious, and really speedy to put together on a weeknight. This one is a keeper. I made it on two small Bobolis (all they had at my grocery store) and used pecorino romano instead of asiago.
GlamGirl Posted: 02/12/09
This was good, but not great. I thought it was too 'slippery' to eat. The asiago was delish tho. I'd have to play with it to make it easier to handle.
Loves2Swim Posted: 02/15/09
Excellent. We made this as well as a full-fat pizza and this one won hands down!
Saecca Posted: 04/24/09
The white sauce, I agree, needed a little more spicing up. I would say more seasoning or some nutmeg. My husband loved it, but recommended spinach or chicken to add that little extra kick. It is easy to make, and cooks up great on a pizza stone. I actually made two pizzas from the recipe. It also looks pretty impressive-- like you bought gourmet pizza!
tara31 Posted: 04/23/10
Yummy! I used buttons and portobellos, doubled the garlic, almond milk, soy mozzarella to cut fat and dried thyme. Super easy and very tasty!
liz581 Posted: 10/22/09
I like this, my DH loves it. It is good, fast, and interesting. We make it once every couple months. Not much more to say about it, except that it pairs nicely with a nice salad to round out dinner. I made my own crust, but didn't change anything else.

Start out by watching this video and try to gleam the basics of what a capacitor is.
Here is a simple diagram of how capacitors function.
Axial simply referes to the terminal leads being located at the top and bottom of the capacitor.
Axial capacitors can be polarized, non-polarized, and bi-polarized. Polarized will be the easiest to find, plus the cheapest. But you have to take care when soldering the terminal leads to the coils. If you get the + switched with the – the capacitor will short out and fail completely. You can tell which end is + or – by the markings along the casing. Another way to tell is that the + terminal lead will be slightly longer than the negative terminal lead.
Non-polarized axial capacitors can be wired to the coil with the +/- terminals backwards as this is pretty much what non-polarized means.
The voltage rating is simply how high a voltage the capacitor can take before it shorts out and fails. 25v-50v should be fine for most machines. Unless you plan on running your machine at over 25 volts of power.
The uf rating is the most important in regard to tattoo machine set up. Tattoo machines are commonly set up with 22uf for liners, 33uf for custom set ups, and 47uf for shaders/color machines. Experiment with different capacitors and see what effects you can produce.
"The circuit created when you combine a capacitor with the magnetic coils is called a Resonant Tank Circuit. It essentially alternately stores energy in the field of the coils and between the plates of the capacitor. Thus it is creating AC from the DC current. The frequency at which the tank circuit runs is determined by the combination of the coils and the capacitor, change the value of either of them will change the operation frequency of your needle." -From physicsforums.com

When a president takes office, he or she swears to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." The Constitution gives the president the following foreign policy responsibilities:
- Making treaties with other countries, with Senate approval
- Receiving foreign heads of state
- Commanding the U.S. armed forces, as well as any state militias under federal control
Domestically, the president is responsible for:
- Making sure that the U.S. laws are enforced
- Appointing public officers, such as Supreme Court judges
- Issuing criminal pardons
- Proposing bills to Congress
- Presenting a State of the Union
In addition, the president can convene or adjourn Congress as necessary. He or she also has the power of veto over Congress' decisions. Presidential terms run for four years, and the 22nd Amendment limits a president to two terms. The president is paid for his or her efforts and can be impeached for serious crimes.
The president's inauguration speech outlines his or her vision for the nation, and the president spends much of his or her time in office working to bring this vision to fruition. He or she does so by proposing legislative action and by convincing Congress and the general public to support the presidential agenda. If Congress doesn't support the president's aims, he or she may need to negotiate, compromise or offer additional funding (also called "pork") in order to compensate members of Congress for their votes. The president can also appeal to the voters, asking them to pressure their representatives to vote in favor of his or her propositions. The president is assisted in formulating and presenting policy by the Cabinet and by various governmental and quasi-governmental agencies, as well as his or her personal staff.
The Constitution states that one of the foremost jobs of the president is to ensure that the laws of the country are followed. Various regulatory bodies, such as the Department of Labor, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Federal Trade Commission, oversee the application of federal laws in particular sectors of industry and society, working under the authority of the president. The president may, if necessary, create new organizations for this purpose. For example, President Woodrow Wilson established the Department of Labor to ensure that minimum wages and child-labor laws were being enforced.

Good piece of luggage from Osprey

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have the Sojourn 25" which is great. Purchased the Ozone 22" for something smaller and better for flying standby. It did great for a recent 5 day hiking trip. No issues with overhead storage. The compression straps really help with over-packing. The 2 additional zippered compartments on the top allow for even more storage. It really surprised me how much I was able to get in there and could not be happier with this purchase!
Waste of space
Member since
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I bought this carry-on for my up coming few days trip. I was so disappointed because the luggage has the frame of Osprey Sojourn, which is a pack pack/carry-on. The frame is caved in and is losing so much space. The bag is so light and doesn't really need these huge skate wheels. The frame and wheels of this luggage was used from other Osprey products.
great job!

very happy with this. fits in the overhead compartment wonderfully, lightweight, lots of compartments, easy to operate. great piece.
Excellent Rolling Carry On
Member since
Recently used the Ozone 22 on a two week trip down the West Coast. Flew in and out, drove down the coast. The bag performed well, very light empty, packs efficiently, carried well, stood up on its own.
I have an older Osprey Vector that is bigger, more strongly built, and heavier, but definitely not better for the purpose of traveling light and quick.
My main concern is the longterm durability of the light weight seams and zippers. Also, the Vector has several smaller mesh pockets on the inside of the front flap, while the Ozone only has one big pocket. A little bit of thread could segment this pocket, aiding organization and preventing items from sinking to the bottom of the flap pocket.
Flying Delta and United I had no problem carrying it on. Flying Frontier I had to gate check it, which was annoying. The Ozone 22 is not large, Frontier is just weird.

The Gallery: Paul Scheik
Master of the Polaroid panorama, darling of the night, and toast of the weblogs…we bring you Paul Scheik, a wandering minstrel of a photographer who makes his subject the people and things he encounters on his constant travels throughout the US.
We first saw his work on the Polaroid Photography Collective, an addictive site where the triptych below can be found (and a print purchased for $7 -- what a deal!).
Some trolling on Google revealed a few more Polaroid panoramas posted on other blogs. I love these. I have no idea how to track them down.
And it seems he may be a Polaroid-by-day/Single-Reflex-by-Night artist as he recently had a show of nighttime photographs (see below) at the Stephen Wirtz Gallery in San Francisco.
These photographs are all untitled digital chromogenic prints, 20 x 24 inches, printed in editions of 10.
Untitled, 2004
Curious for still more? Check out this sweet little link to his book of photographs of skateboarders – you can flip through them…very cool.
Thanks Paul. Keep up the good work.
And thanks to swissmiss for giving us our first peak.

You've got some bum links at the end there... You're missing some = signs, and some quote marks...
Nice photos though.
You can delete this post if you like.
So -- Did anyone figure out how / where to purchase his panoramics. There appears to be no option on the linked site.
sorry about all the bum links. if you are interested in the polaroids, go to plrds.com and under the photo image (changes every time you go to the site) there is a "Buy Photos" option ... as well as a "Keep buying photos" at the very bottom of the index page.
the gallery that recently showed his work is at: www.wirtzgallery.com/exhibitions/2006/2006_01/schiek/schiek_2006_frame.html

Pride and Prejudice was only half the story
If Elizabeth Bennet had the washing of her own petticoats, Sarah often thought, she'd most likely be a sight more careful with them.
In this irresistibly imagined belowstairs answer to Pride and Prejudice, the servants take center stage. Sarah, the orphaned housemaid, spends her days scrubbing the laundry, polishing the floors, and emptying the chamber pots for the Bennet household. But there is just as much romance, heartbreak, and intrigue downstairs at Longbourn as there is upstairs. When a mysterious new footman arrives, the orderly realm of the servants' hall threatens to be completely, perhaps irrevocably, upended.
Jo Baker dares to take us beyond the drawing rooms of Jane Austen's classic - into the often overlooked domain of the stern housekeeper and the starry-eyed kitchen maid, into the gritty daily particulars faced by the lower classes in Regency England during the Napoleonic Wars - and, in doing so, creates a vivid, fascinating, fully realized world that is wholly her own.
©2013 Jo Baker (P)2013 Random House Audio
"A triumph: a splendid tribute to Austen's original but, more importantly, a joy in its own right, a novel that contrives both to provoke the intellect and, ultimately, to stop the heart.... Like Austen, Baker has written an intoxicating love story but, also like Austen, the pleasure of her novel lies in its wit and fierce intelligence.... Baker not only creates a richly imagined story of her own but recasts Austen's novel in a startlingly fresh light.... Inspired." (The Guardian)
Book lover
"Great Book, Great Narrator!"
Longbourn was very well written, beautiful prose, compelling characters. I couldn't stop listening to it and the narrator made it that much better. I listen to a lot of books and she is one of the best narrators I have heard (as good as Davina Porter, but younger sounding). Longbourn is a must read or rather listen as the case may be.
"Extraordinary book (even w/o Pride & Prejudice)"
I have generally hated P&P spinoffs -- too wordy, too internally focused and generally poorly written.
Not this one. Jo Baker is a literary writer and this novel stands on its own , as absorbing and interesting (even without the modest involvement of the P&P characters). These people have real lives, real struggles and problems and loves, and we sympathize with their strategic and hopeful efforts to maximize their future security and happiness. The Napoleonic Wars may not have had much effect on the Bennets, but it's very present for the lower classes, where the men were strongly urged to enlist without any understanding of the horrors of that war.
The limited glimpses we see of the Bennet family seems to round them out into real people, too -- Elizabeth is still a very nice person and generally considerate mistress, but it is clear that her maid's happiness and security is never really on her mind except as it pertains to Elizabeth's comfort. This is probably an accurate depiction of women such as she. Mrs. Bennet's efforts to have a male child - over and over and over - elicit some real sympathy for her and deepen our understanding of the source of her current flightiness.
I loved this book.
"A beautiful well-written piece of fiction"
This is the best audiobook I have listened to. The narration is superb. So much so that you feel like you are experiencing the story.
My favorite character is Sarah. She has led a hard life and very much dreams of a better one. I can feel her longing.
Sarah and Mrs. Hill as performed by Emma Fielding are my favorites.
I would rename Longbourn "In Pursuit of Dreams" or "The Longing"
An unbelievably well-written book . The prose will blow you away. It will captivate you and take you into its spell and not let you go until the very last word.
us about yourself! I'm a retired English teacher and ardent reader(more because of physical disability than from job).
"So You Thought this was a romance?"
Yes, but only after a long gap because it was exhausting, and now I cannot be surprised.
When the lovers are reunited after complex lives without each other.
The heroine, Sara. She was so outwardly imprisoned by her era and yet was bold and gave vent to her adventurism.
Two characters together: Mr. Bennet and his clandestine lover. That was a touching story.
The descriptions--especially of the countryside-- are absolutely beautiful.
"Slow and Wordy"
This book borrows the situations and characters from Jane Austen but that's where the similarities end. This rendition is full of adjectives but slow on action. Unfortunate, because the concept was intriguing.
"Well done, excellent read or listen, bravo"
I have listened to it twice and intend to keep it for a good long time. It is written in the manner that feel as though you are looking out through the eyes of the main character. There are points that refer back to Pride and Prejudice, but only as references that enhance to the story.
Well written, believable situations and characters, can only leave you with wanting more of the same. Unfortunately, many of them have the consistency of wet toilet paper.
The scenes described, the feelings of the characters are what you would imagine if you were in that situation, very easy to insert yourself, watching it all unfold as you were invisible.
Nothing, very easy evperience
I look forward to more of the same from Ms Baker
NYC Editor of illustrated books. Peanuts 50th anniversary book. Number 5 on best seller list. As well as History of America seen through art
"So Clever"
Author does a nice job of bringing Jane down to the kithchen; good story telling in the tradition of you know who.
I live, breathe, read.
"Masterfully imaginative piece!"
This book was described very simply as a retelling of Pride and Prejudice from the perspective of the servants, which made me both excited to read it, and also hesitant because I've read some pretty bad ones. That being said, this is NOT a retelling, in fact the Bennets take a back seat to the"belowstairs" lives of their servants. Told from the perspective of Mrs. Hill, the Bennet's housekeeper, and the the scullery maid, Sarah, we have a fresh perspective of life during the Regency era, and a slice of life for a soldier during the Napoleonic Wars. I don't think I will ever look at Pride and Prejudice the same. I'll never be able to watch the BBC adaptation (1995 Colin Firth), and not want to follow "Hill" off camera after she's administered cordial for Mrs. Bennet's "poor nerves." A definite read for lovers of historical fiction.
"I couldn't finish"
No real plot or intrigue. I listened to 10 chapters, yet wasn't hooked in to the story.
She was fine.
