"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted here, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
I think this is my first non-fiction WOW, but y'all know I'm a sucker for food memoirs. And, in light of the upcoming release of the movie version of Julie & Julia, it seemed appropriate.
Cleaving: A Story of Marriage, Meat, and Obsession
By Julie Powell
Publication Date: December 1
From Amazon:
"Julie Powell thought cooking her way through Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking was the craziest thing she'd ever do--until she embarked on the voyage recounted in her new memoir, CLEAVING.
Her marriage challenged by an insane, irresistible love affair, Julie decides to leave town and immerse herself in a new obsession: butchery. She finds her way to Fleischer's, a butcher shop where she buries herself in the details of food. She learns how to break down a side of beef and French a rack of ribs--tough, physical work that only sometimes distracts her from thoughts of afternoon trysts.
The camaraderie at Fleischer's leads Julie to search out fellow butchers around the world--from South America to Europe to Africa. At the end of her odyssey, she has learned a new art and perhaps even mastered her unruly heart."
What's your "waiting on" pick this week?

It was fun, but being an amateur blogger/computer user it took me way too long to put together. :)
I'll keep practicing, though.
I'm a little late this week:
