It's been a busy last two weeks at work, but I was able to read another batch of magazines. Nothing overly exciting, but I'm glad to be wrapping up a month's worth of data on what I've been reading and learning... and which titles haven't been worth my time this month. This batch was a really varied mix, and I'll try to add a re-cap of the second batch tomorrow.
#1. The June 2010 edition of National Geographic was fantastic - as always! I never regret the time I spend learning something new about this world we all share. My favorite article was the cover story about Greenland. Check out some of the pics here. Both the coverage of the vanishing ice in that country and the coverage of the changing weather patterns affecting the people of Greenland were so eye-opening. Also, the coverage of the biodiversity present in New Guinea's Foga Mountains - wow! This video about their efforts to protect the golden-mantled tree kangaroo is amazing.
#2. On a much lighter note, I also read a recent (September 6, 2010) People magazine. The cover story on Elin Nordegren's side of the Tiger Woods scandal caught my attention. What a beautiful, courageous woman; I hope she finds much happiness as she moves on from all this.
#3. Cooking Light covers a variety of topics beyond just cooking. Surprisingly, I wasn't compelled to pull out any recipes from the July 2009 issue (just a little behind...). But, I did pull out a couple of pages of travel articles - New Zealand, Pompeii , and Barcelona.
#4. The May 2010 issue of Nutrition Action was a solid read. I've already tried a recipe for simple, cooked leafy greens that worked out great. Sauté a little garlic in olive oil for a minute or two, add the greens - I used chard - and cook until soft. It took about 10 minutes, and then we added a squeeze of lime juice. (Full disclosure here - this was so easy my husband actually made it!)
Total magazines read this month – 5 + 4 = 9
Magazines in queue - 168 - 4 = 164 plus 5 = 169.
(A new batch of October magazines came in last week...)
