Book Reviews of The Old Farmer's Almanac 2010
Book Review: One of my favorite annual publications!
Summary: 5 Stars
I await the publication of each year's "The Old Farmer's Almanac." First, I enjoy checking out the weather forecast. Second, there are always quirky special articles worth looking at. And this year's version is no different!
The weather? This is something closely associated with this publication. Pages 80-81 features (a) a weather map depicting, in broad strokes, winter and summer weather. For central Pennsylvania, the winter looks to be cool and dry; summer, likewise, cool and dry. And (b) a brief narrative on what the weather looks like. Nice point: "How accurate was our forecast last winter?" The evaluation, they claim, is pretty good (although I wonder about those who examine their own predictions!).
Later (e.g., page 208), there is a more detailed analysis, region by region, for the United States. The slice of Americana from Elmira New York to Asheville, NC contains central Pennsylvania. Overall prediction? "Winter will be slightly colder and drier than normal, with below-normal snowfall."
A couple other features to illustrate the contents. . . . Starting on page 162, we have an article "Better than barebones cooking." The focus is the use of bones in cooking, such as use of bones in making stock. There is a nice recipe for a basic meat stock, complete with all the ingredients needed.
One of the chores that my brother and I did when we lived on a farm was clearing manure from the pig pens. Not one of my favorite tasks! There is in this edition of the "Almanac," an article on green versus animal manure. More than most of us want to know! Still, a nicely wrought little essay for those interested in the subject.
So, again, this annual publication does what it does. I enjoyed going through this little book one more time!
