Fall Pairings

Autumn is in full swing in Chicago.  As the weather has been changing I have found myself spending more time nestled in to a good book with something hot to drink.  After many days of reading, and cups of assorted beverages I have found some delectable pairings for the books I am currently reading.  Please feel free to enjoy.


Desiring God by John Piper - A philosophical book that states "to glorify God is to enjoy Him forever"
 + Chocolate Cake - The "enjoy" part of the book.
 + Americano - A strong espresso drink that gives the brain energy to think philosophically and theologically


Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy - A complex, and brilliant book about family and relationships
+ Chai - Sweet and a little spicy, just like the characters
+ Pumpkin Bread - I just love pumpkin bread.  And I just love this book.


Freedom of Simplicity by Richard Foster - I'm yet to start this book, but the title is self-explanatory
+ Green Tea - Delicious, simple, and oh, so good for you.
+ Chocolate covered almonds - Just because it's good for you doesn't mean it can't be delicious! 

Now the next one might be obvious...but must be stated nonetheless



Must I really say more?

So cheers to more books, hot drinks and delicious food as the seasons change!

Hmmm, I'm looking for a book to read. Dad said I need to get reading Mockingbird. I've started it, but these Piper and Simplicity books look interesting. Decisions, decisions!
