Hello, and welcome to Family Folktales from the Nashville Public Library. I’m Susan Poulter, a Librarian at the Main Library. Today’s story is The Flying Trunk, a story by Hans Christian Andersen found in Andrew Lang’s Pink Fairy Book. There was once a merchant who was so rich that he could have paved the whole street with gold, and would even then have had enough for a small alley. But he did not do so; he knew the value of money better than to use it in this way. So clever was he, that every shilling he put out brought him a crown; and so he continued till he died. His son inherited his wealth, … [Read more...] about Nashville Public Library: The Flying Trunk

The state of the American wine industry is grim, according to a closely watched report that annually analyzes its trajectory. Winemakers and advertisers are missing out on younger consumers, the report says, by failing to produce wines that fit their budgets and neglecting to reach out to them with targeted marketing campaigns. “ State of the U.S. Wine Industry 2023 ,” which has made recommendations for more than 20 years, found that the only area of growth for American wine was among consumers over 60, said its author, Rob McMillan, executive vice president of Silicon Valley Bank in Santa Clara, Calif., and a longtime analyst of the American wine industry. The biggest growth area, he said, was among 70- to 80-year-olds. As it has in recent years, the report urged the wine industry to do a better job of appealing to younger consumers, who have many more beverage options today than baby boomers did in their formative years. Among those are craft beers, small-production spirits and … [Read more...] about The American Wine Industry Has an Old People Problem

Hello, and welcome to Family Folktales from the Nashville Public Library. I’m Susan Poulter, a Librarian at the Main Library. Today’s story is The House in the Wood, a German tale found in Andrew Lang’s Pink Fairy Book. A poor woodcutter lived with his wife and three daughters in a little hut on the borders of a great forest. One morning as he was going to his work, he said to his wife, 'Let our eldest daughter bring me my lunch into the wood; and so that she shall not lose her way, I will take a bag of millet with me, and sprinkle the seed on the path.' When the sun had risen high over the forest, the girl set out with a … [Read more...] about Nashville Public Library: The House In The Wood

This week, I frantically sent some friends the following message: “If you found MONTHS old expired cream cheese in your fridge, but it tasted and smelled normal, would you eat it? y/n.” (Spoiler: I ate it.) My cooking can, at times, be shortsighted. I’ll get jazzed to make a recipe with few plans for any of the leftover ingredients, leaving me with half-full containers that I inevitably forget about. But there’s one item in my fridge that can stand the test of time: my tub of shiro, or white, miso . Miso paste is fermented, and its high salt content protects it from mold. Depending on whom you ask, miso paste will last in the fridge for anywhere between six to 18 months. I’ve used some far older than that, and I’m still here to write this newsletter. But if you would like to avoid sending a panicked text asking if your miso is safe, here are a few ways to use it up. Soups : Recipes for soup often call for adding the miso near the end of cooking, off heat. To … [Read more...] about Three Ways to Finish a Tub of Miso

There are rules about how much young actors are allowed to work. They ought to apply to old actors, too, because the load Harrison Ford is carrying on the new Apple TV+ series “Shrinking” should be against the law. The 80-year-old Ford plays one of the three central characters in the half-hour therapy dramedy (theramedy?), which premieres with two episodes on Friday, and nearly every moment I enjoyed revolved around him. (Nine of 10 episodes were available for review.) He plays Paul, the senior member of a psychotherapeutic practice, an old-school boss with a sharp tongue and a well-hidden soft heart. An actor of Ford’s seniority could be excused if he coasted through the part or tried for a crowd-pleasing twinkly grouchiness. But Ford is made of tougher stuff; except for a few aw-shucks grins, he never panders. Instead of riding on top of the role, he relaxes into it and makes Paul smart, funny and sexy — it’s no wonder that his junior partners Jimmy and Gabby, played by Jason … [Read more...] about ‘Shrinking’ Review: On the Couch With Harrison Ford
