The weekly “little of this, little of that” feature from Like Mother, Like Daughter!
{First of all, I want you to know that I faithfully photographed the process of Auntie Leila's pizza making, for your benefit. I know that many of you have been wanting more details on how she makes her dough and pizza for a long time. That post will be coming soon!}
I spent the past week enjoying the extraordinarily winning company of my adorable baby nephew, so I admit that I don't have much reading to share with you today.
So, as a departure from our normal Saturday routine, today we wanted to dip into the archives a bit to pull up some readings that might interest you for your purposes in your Pockets (updates taking place as I write!). Hopefully, soon, you'll be able to coordinate a few (or maybe even several) people to get together in the physical, real world for some conversation and camaraderie. When that happens, as we've mentioned, you might want something of substance to be reading in common in order to have a launching point for discussion.
Here are a few ideas to get the ball rolling — whenever you and your neighbors are ready!
- What it really means to be a woman — do we have to strive with men at their game, or is there something else we are about?
- The key to having a happy home is diving into the necessary work. Start with the need for meal preparation!
- And laundry! (You will have to work backwards — haven't organized this category yet!)
- Is keeping your house reasonably neat something you'd like to discuss with friends? Here is the series on that (again, work backwards).
- What about marriage? Four secrets to destruction-proofing your marriage.
- Living the Liturgical Year: Start here: Thoughts on Living the Year with the Lord.
- Maybe read the book with friends?
Also, if you didn't get a chance to read last week's {bits & pieces} (or get all the way through it), may I suggest you go back and check that out? It was a packed edition last week!

Deirdre, the link to the book at the end isn’t right…
Yes to more posts about dough-making!! I do understand the difficulty of offering advice when one has not a specific recipe (this cookbook, page X, done!), but a collection of instructions learned here and there, likely residing in one’s brain only as an organic whole, and executed even without measuring tools… Just yesterday my son asked me how much salt does pasta water need? Weeell, that all depends… and come to think f it, I’ve never once measured salt – it’s just something you learn to have a feel for. I guess maybe Auntie Leila feels the same way about bread-making 🙂 Lucky her – but we’ll be grateful for her tips!
