Recent nonfiction titles for the Kindle that you might have missed:...

I’ve been thinking about titles lately. No, not like the Earl of Sandwich or Sir Loin of Beef. I was listening to a friend’s new R & B album and was wondering how they come up with titles for instrumentals. I imagine folks must get pretty proprietary about their titles. After all the work and [...]

Today is National Sandwich Day , supposedly because November 3rd marks the birthday of John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich. Legend has it that Montagu ordered his servant to bring him meat tucked between two pieces of bread so Montagu could eat one-handed while gambling. While I’ve yet to be convinced that National Sandwich Day wasn’t created to sell more sliced bread, the holiday is still...

We owe Basil Montagu , Fourth Earl of Sandwich, a huge debt; it was he who invented, or at least popularized, the sandwich. The legend goes that he was at a gaming table and didn't want to interrupt his winning streak to eat, so he ordered some meat to be clapped between two slices of bread and ate it while he played. He went on to do some other notable things, such as supporting Captain James Cook's...

A surfer and two people in an outrigger are featured on the stamp commemorating Hawaii's statehood. There wasn't a great deal of fanfare or parades in Hawaii recently. You'd think there might have been some celebrating, seeing as how that was officially the 50th anniversary of the territory becoming the 50th U.S. state. But the observation was deliberately subdued. It's believed that Polynesians settled...

I'm not sure where I got the idea from -- I'm pretty sure that it's not my own -- but a thought for a potentially yummy sandwich popped into my head the other evening. I tried it out today for lunch, and sure enough, I loved it. This one's going in the rotation. What is it? -- 2 slices of thick, whole grain bread (I'm using Dark German wheat right now, the kind where the crust is studded with seeds)...

I'm very happy that Eric Forbes picked up a piece from this blog, my heart-felt guide to reading while eating , and published it in Quill magazine.
