NON-FICTION: MEMOIR

Keith Desseric and Brooke Desseric's originally self-published NOTES LEFT BEHIND, said to have sold almost 8,000 copies after being featured on GMA recently, a journal created by the family of five year-old Elena Desseric, during her battle with an inoperable kind of cancer that took her life in 2007, including Elena's "bucket list" and accompanying artwork, to Lisa Sharkey for William Morrow, for publication in fall 2009, by Sharlene Martin at Martin Literary Management, with the authors' proceeds going to a foundation to raise money to find a cure for pediatric brain cancer.



In case you didn't hear, this terminally ill 6 year old hid notes around the house, to be found after her death. I cried just reading about it. I'll totally buy this book.

RE: ice cream: If you want to make homemade ice cream, try the Ben & Jerry's book. Their recipes rock! The only thing that doesn't quite work for me is their sweet cream bases. In my experience, the ice cream becomes creamier if you cook the egg-milk mixture. And the next time I make chocolate ice cream, I'll use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate.
We have an ice-cream maker plus a recipe for making ice-cream in a plastic bag. We do that latter more often. But I'm dying to check out gelato recipes. It's Italian which = rich and dreamy!

Yeah, dark chocolate can be a bit bitter. I'll look for the B&J book, too. Thanks for the rec.
