Nice to now know the cute love story behind the blogger. ( ) Yes, my review is influenced by my love for all things Pioneer Woman. I think Ree Drummond is a down to earth woman full of heart and down home cooking. So many things in my house are The Pioneer Woman at Walmart line. I have owned every single one of her cookbooks for years; I follow her on Instagram. Despite these things, I have never read this book. Shocking, right? I have had it on my shelf.....but finally (after coming off of the intense "I'll be Gone in the Dark") I picked up the book. It was an absolutely delightful read. The romance between Ree and her husband is so sweet and passionate. I felt their love (and seeing it play out in real time, I can tell it is still accurate.) Her stories about acclimating to life on the ranch, tending to cows, battling fires, and eating steak after being a vegetarian are awesome and hilarious. Finding out about the less than perfect honeymoon and the first foray into breastfeeding reminds readers of just how normal Ree is as a person. A lot of Food Network personalities change the longer they are on the airwaves. My hope is that Ree continues to buck that trend. I also love seeing the recipes in the back of the book (especially ones that she references in her story.) But they are also in the cookbooks ;) Jamás olvidaré aquel momento. Fue una mezcla de novela romántica, musical antiguo de Broadway y película del oeste de John Wayne. Cuando aquella noche decidí salir a tomar una copa con unos amigos, no entraba en mis planes conocer a nadie, y menos aún a un vaquero alto y curtido que vivía en un rancho a muchos kilómetros de mi refinada y organizada ciudad natal. Pero cuando quise darme cuenta, las flechas me habían alcanzado y no pude ni quise detenerlas. Ésta es una historia universal del enamoramiento, la pasión y el amor inmenso que nos conquista por completo. I really wanted to like this book - I love the tv show. I was so disappointed. Some parts were disturbing, gross & (I felt) unnecessary to the story. Some parts were overly cheesy - the romantic cliches were borderline ridiculous. I found myself rolling my eyes often. Sorry - should have kept it on the blog.
Drummond, a blogger and best-selling author of The Pioneer Woman Cooks, turns her popular blog chronicling her improbable city-girl-meets-rugged-cowboy saga into an affecting new memoir. Drummond deftly describes what happens when life takes a U-turn, taking readers from her chaste but steamy courtship with "Marlboro Man," to their subsequent wedding and Australian honeymoon, and into the first year of their marriage where the two decamped to Marlboro Man's isolated ranch (Drummond had been en route to a new life in Chicago when she met him). What emerges is a charming and romantic yet realistic tale of the forces that can test a new relationship—no matter how good it is. She presents a sometimes riotously funny, always strikingly real tale of love and life. Drummond is intensely likable and writes with the facile confidence of one who clearly knows herself well. Plenty of surprises lie along the way, such as her parents' divorce and an immediate pregnancy following the nuptials. She's sure to have readers in tears and in stitches as they share her adventure. In a word: delightful. Includes several recipes. Onderscheidingen
