Quotes: Charlotte’s Web

I talked about E.B. White’s Charlotte’s Web earlier in the week and although I won’t ever read the book again, I cherish and value the story and today, I’ll like to share some of my favorite quotes.

Day 26: A book that changed your opinion about something

Our Creator’s instruction manual changed my view on how I should live.

It’s the lantern that lights up my path.

It is spiritual nourishment.

This book is my Father’s love letter to me, it teaches us how to be kind, how to love, how not to commit revenge and it keeps us from sin. I ❤ the Bible so much because God can never lie.

50 Foods #28: Biltong

Origin: South Africa
Date: 17th century
Type: Cured meat

I’ve never heard of biltong until this book, so I had no idea what it was. Biltong is a form of cured meat that is cured with salt and vinegar which is then air-dried so it lasts a lifetime. Various meats such as game and beef are used to produce it. 

Biltong is related to beef jerky given that they are both dried and spiced meats.

Would I eat it?: Eh!
