It's felt like summer here for the past couple days. As my room has windows facing south and east, it turns into a hothouse. This was useful in the cold winter, not so much right now.
In deference to the microclimate of my dorm room, I spent the day in a cafe reading Freud. But before I went to the cafe, I picked up some flip flops because yesterday my sandal gave me a huge (burst) blister on my right heel. So, backless shoes it was. I went to the cafe. I used html in my notes. As a reward for finishing Totem and Taboo, one of the most racist and sexist works I've read in a long time, I went to the used bookstore and Borders. I failed in my search (cheap knitlit or some good Pennsylvania folklore). I did, however, pick up a sale copy of Cooking: a Common Sense Guide, which makes me happy. (Fanny Farmer, however, does not make me happy. They've culled my favourite recipes sometime between 1920 and today.) The cookbook includes a guide to meat cuts, cooking/freezing, vegetables, preparations, tools, measurements, etc. as well as recipes. (And I now have a number of tasty looking vegetarian dishes to which I am not allergic, should my vegetarian-type friends visit me when we are graduated.) I then tried out the Creole place in town, figuring my room would be too hot to live in. (Creole place: good. I prefer more chili pepper and less black pepper in my jambalaya. They get props for attempting to make Creole food look artistic. Overpriced.) When I returned to my room after dark, it was still stifling.
I have several questions for my flist:
1. Does anyone know where I can get books on the folklore of Pennsylvania (preferably without names like Spooky Pennsylvania?)
2. Does anyone know of a good Creole cookbook? I enjoy making gumbo and jambalaya in the summer and would like to expand my knowledge of Creole cuisine. The Borders cooking section was heavy on low-fat vegetarian wholefood macrobiotic cooking and light on the real food I like to eat cooking.
3. Any advice on healing cracked skin? I have winter dry feet and my right foot (the one with the blisters) did not get on well with the flip flops. The skin between my big toe and second toes has cracked open and is rather painful. Suggestions would be appreciated. Suggestions on foot wear would also be appreciated as I have cracked skin between the toes and open (if bandaged) blisters on the heal.
Someone give me motivation to analyse Freud and incest and taboo.

I know that BACASO has some food demonstrations and they occasionally cook Creole food, but I don't know who you would contact for recipes etc.
