A Little Salty to Cut the Sweet by Sophie Hudson
 |
| Love the cover! |
Sophie Hudson is the author of the Boo Mama blog. http://boomama.net/ . I read her book this
summer at the beginning of our vacation. The book is exactly what the title promises. We spend our days eating and
digesting a lot of sugar, and I don’t just mean the granulated stuff that has
been hidden (in some form or another) in things we would never dream would need
sugar. Days need to have salt too.
One of my
favorite snacks in the world is dark chocolate covered pretzels (not milk
chocolate). There’s something wonderful about the combination of semi-sweet and
salt. I guess it’s because our taste buds are designed to detect both of these—and
to do so at the same time is a marvelous experience. Sophie is the queen of
getting this combination, our need for a little salty in our literary and
spiritual diet, balanced in her writing. Her wonderful, southern spun stories and
recollections caused me to laugh out loud more than once, but then there was a
sweetness that would linger.
Certainly I hope we see another book come from her pen
(cursor, keyboard) soon.
