[[It Ain't Sauce, It's Gravy: Macaroni, Homestyle Cheesesteaks, the Best Meatballs in the World, and How Food Saved My Life]] Book-Hub Reviewed by Michael Leng

Steve Martorano said "How Food Saved My Life." See the owner of several Cafe Martorano in the prime locations in U.S. writes about his menu-the Best Meatballs in the World, and the story how food saved his life.

Image shown under down here is luring my mount-watering; well can you guess it is wine or his dish! lol.

Have you ever tried genuine or contemporary Italian food?

For me, I have had it several times in the restaurants in my hometown.

The book “It Ain’t Sauce, It’s Gravy: Macaroni, Homestyle Cheesesteaks, the Best Meatballs in the World, and How Food Saved My Life” makes me think about my one of my old day in the Italian restaurant in Bangkok, Thailand.

In the heart of Bangkok city, the busiest place such as Silom, Siam, Chidlom, Lăng-sŭan soi and Phloenchit are very popular and well known by the people. There are many tall building, luxury hotels, service apartments, famous supermarkets, embassies and restaurants-both local Thai and international cuisines.

The areas mentioned above are the most best places for running somewhat high-end business. In Thai, I would call it “ย่านคนรวย” [yâan kon ruay] the area for the rich- the one who have high-earning individuals. Cost of living is higher than the other places.

I’d personally rather not to go there if I don’t have any necessary thing to do in such a horrible area like that, it's because of the two main reasons;-

That’s my first reason.

Secondly, the unmoved traffic- sometimes you have to spend your time for get moving your car from place to place 2 miles by an hour. I hate traffic jam. In addition, I absolutely believe everyone does. However, I don’t know how the people over there could stand with this fucking city in freezing spell!

However, one day, some of my old close friends called and invited me to dining out together. They don’t find where to go yet. Some recommend going for the ordinary Thai restaurants while the others have some different idea in their mind.

They have kept discussion for choosing where to go a week, the conclusion came out to go for having Italian food in Lansuan soi area, because one of the group worked around there and have tried it before,- she insisted the food is great and the taste is good. I agree with them even I know that Langsuan soi is one place in Bangkok that having the terrible traffic, particularly, in rush hours, and I hate it, the traffic jam.

We have set up the date of appointment at the end of the same month. Because it is the date for everyone getting the salary, then we could share and afford money for our foods and drinks.

Once when the appointment date is due, I took a bus and took off at the main street, between Sukhumvit and Phloenchit, and taking a walk for a few minutes to the blocks the restaurant located.

This Italian restaurant is fully with customers. It’s very busiest and business trends to grow up well. I only counted the numbers of the guests and the tables they have in the restaurant, I can guess how the business trends to be.

Well, what I were ordering was difficult for me to know. It was my first time entering to genuine Italian restaurant. The waiter worked hard on trying to explain me how the food come out look like and their taste mouthwatering were.

We ordered several dishes. I don’t remember what to call all our ordering menus except the “New Zealand Mussels with Cheese.” I didn’t make any more questions about the mussel which is stated “New Zealand Mussels”- imported from New Zealand or they just only can be found in domestic fresh market.

To eat with hot is recommended. Noticed those mussels baked with cheese severed with 4-5 in uncover shells on its top. We have shared those mussels baked for one each. There were five shells in a plate,-match to the number of us.

Well, after I have glanced the name of the book “It Ain’t Sauce, It’s Gravy: Macaroni, Homestyle Cheesesteaks, the Best Meatballs in the World, and How Food Saved My Life”, my saliva is started very greedy for meatballs while I also wonder the line which is stated “…, and How Food Saved My Life” is about? All the unveil issue were clear until I have learned that Steve Martorano, the “It Ain’t Sauce, It’s Gravy: Macaroni, Homestyle Cheesesteaks, the Best Meatballs in the World, and How Food Saved My Life” book’s author.

He is saved from the glamor of crime and easy money bring to bear a powerful yank on his life until he began his own food business-sandwich, which later on developed and expanded several branches in a chain of popular and successful restaurant.

In my personal opinion, I think Steve Martorano has a gentle mind under his subconscious,- not let his life stray a blocks in the wrong direction, grew up in a family with mob ties in South Philadelphia, and somethings bad around him that it’s easy to bring anyone to the trap.

To talk about Steve Martorano’s story is interested me too. I admire him and anyone who behaves the same like him, Steve Martorano. He started from small to large- selling sandwiches. Said no to his future was to drive a truck or join the mob, in despite of some of neighborhoods do.

Started running his first restaurant-selling and serving homemade sandwiches with a side of his own style- Steve’s personality, it(Steve’s restaurants business) grow up dramatically and become the recipe and a chain restaurants business today.- Steve Martorano is the owner of Cafe Martorano in Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood, Florida, and two Martorano's locations in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Not only the restaurants he has been dealing, but also a Martorano wine label, pasta sauces, and a line of clothing that he has launched and. He lives in Fort Lauderdale at the present time.

Latest one of his work which is topped up from his food and restaurants, is writing a book “It Ain’t Sauce, It’s Gravy: Macaroni, Homestyle Cheesesteaks, the Best Meatballs in the World, and How Food Saved My Life”

STEVE MARTORANO’s life story inspires me to wake up for the new day with a fully hope of successful in my life. Perhaps to start my own one business with a small restaurant for a single menu “Rice steamed with chicken boiled and soup” in Thai: ข้าวมันไก่ต้มเสริฟ์กับน้ำซูปพร้อมน้ำจิ้ม [kâao man gài dtôm săy-ríf gàp nám súp próm nám jîm].

Thanks for a good cookbook “It Ain’t Sauce, It’s Gravy: Macaroni, Homestyle Cheesesteaks, the Best Meatballs in the World, and How Food Saved My Life” from Steve Martorano that it may be help me to start my turn-out for the rich. Nevertheless, I am sure if I won’t go open my restaurant at the fucking area somewhere, which the cars can crawl a bit by a bit every day…

Jimmy Fallon married with Nancy Fallon, and they have two daughters, Winnie Rose, born July 2013 and Frances Cole, a baby. They live together in New York City.

Have you ever watched the Tonight Show, one of the most popular entertainers show in the word and NBC’S?

Jimmy Fallon is the Show host as it is stated above. He works for a TV show and authors book. Talking about his books, the first one is “Snow Fight”, be on bookstores for selling in year 2005.

“Snowball Fight” book is a kids book as same as “Your Baby's First Word Will Be DADA”. It contains story about how kids having fun when their school is temporary closed and canceled for snow.

It makes me recall to my past time when I was working for one of the manufacturing. Whenever the factory has to stop their production lines due to the halt of electricity supply problem. All staffs and workers have fun for stopping their operation and they just wait for resume to work again once electricity power issue is fixed. During waiting time, they chitchatted together while some went to find some cans of soft drink and sipped. It was very fun, ha ha.- I confused myself what I am talking about!

“Your Baby's First Word Will Be DADA” is the book that Jimmy Fallon has written by inspiration of his daughter, Winnie Rose, because as everyone may be knows well the word “Mama” is commonly for kids would say it when they grow up and reach as their age-around 10 month +.

Nevertheless, Jimmy Fallon has some created idea to make his first kid, Winnie Rose, to say “Dada”.

After you have read the book till the end, you and your kids will find the amusing tale of father attempting to coax his very young kids into speaking “Dada” on and adventure that including meeting many type of fun animals too.

Why did he try to do this his project?

I think the word “Dada” is a sort of the word producing the sound amidst the word “Mama and Papa” conjugates together and then it could be made out a new word “Dada” accordingly-this is my personal opinion. Just forget it and find it yourself.

How does this book look like?

“Your Baby's First Word Will Be DADA” Book is printed one thick paperboard, to withstand the abuse of toddlers and infants.

It is with around 500 words and for kids at age between 1-3 years, has aboard round 12-16 pages long. This is generally board book genre for very young kids’ books.

How did Jimmy’s attempt ion and up with?

Do you unbelievably, Jimmy lost that fight to his daughter!?!?

[[The Girl on the Train]] Is Written by Paula Hawkins as Extremely Exciting Genre | Book-Hub Review

Paula Hawkins start the first line of her novel, The Girl on the Train, with: The train crawls along; it judders past warehouse and water towers, bridges and sheds…

Once I see it, I am trying to think and assume all over the story be end up like,- the some novels that are telling what happening in only one place, one day or within a night, particularly, horror movies.

Therefore, I think this Paula’s love novel would be liked telling the story occurring on the train which its subject tell itself, the same as I have experienced in some of films as I have mentioned earlier.

Well, I am absolutely wrong. Rachel, the girl who is the key character of the novel, she went to many places and far distance as I have thought.

Buy Now!

In the story, it talks about some places in different regions; the writer knows well geography, puts readers through them how wonderful they are,- ride motorbikes from Paris to the Cote d’Azur, go along the way down the Pacific coast of the United States,(It would be nice if there were some beautiful and in raw natural places such as Phuket, Cheng Mai, Pattaya, e.g. in my country, Thailand including in it, lol..)

Even Paula doesn’t much describe deeply how charming of those popular places are, but perhaps it encourages chasing you having pleasant felling a time while you are on the page.

Paula has a very good ability in imagination and telling things in every piece of the details, especially, through her writing, for example, I have never went to London, UK. nor taken a train for work, I usually take a bus or drive, however, after reading just only a few page of her novel, The Girl on the Train, I think I could see things around the side of train tracks and lives on the train of the people who most always commute by train as I could see it with my own eyes. Surprise!

Think if anyone who read this book was an engineer working for train authority in a maintenance department. They would not act to turn blind eyes to any signaling problems and never-ending engineering works. Ha… Once I come to the immediate above lines. I want to see the modern electric train come up as soon as possible in my country, Thailand.

Rachel is a protagonist of the story, - on the pages number…– ah! Sorry, I can’t remember where it is, you will see that she loves to sit in carriage “D”, why?, I guess you will have this question in your head, - am I right? Because, she will be able to see a perfect view, trackside house: number fifteen; to me this number may bring me a good luck; I sometimes pick lottery numbers as same as the numbers I have seen from everywhere, God bless me please. Lol…

Well, why does Rachel pay her attention the house number fifteen?

Explore it yourself.

Paula Hawkins writes “The girl on the train”. She has told the story about life the obsessed girl, Rachel, who usually goes to work by commuter train. - As it comes the name of this novel book.

There are many homes alongside the train she takes to London, England, and back to her home after the long working day. She, Rachel, lives in suburban of a big capital city.

While she takes the train, she usually looks at throughout the train window,-sees the same couple having their first meal in the morning every day.

To see someone doing such that kind of daily routine activities is a normal thing for every people but Rachel. She imagines about the couple that she feels they have relevant with her.

Through the pictures of them which are Rachel is getting- their life is completely perfect or almost flawless on the other words.

A writer designs how this novel does?

Rachel is the only one character in the “The girl on the train” starting the point?

She seems to run the story alone! Unlike the other psychological thriller novel-cannot guessing to the end if you just read by the half book.

Well, Rachel names that couple as “Jess and Jason”. They finally will have any concerning together with Rachel or not!?!?

Therefore, Jess and Jason will aware themselves that there is someone keeps eyes on them.

One day, their life will come crossing together. Rachel sees something while the train she is taking about to go on to the next station.

Resulting Rachel becomes inextricably entwined in the happening. She gives some information what she knows to the police.

Yet, she still does not know what she has done more harm or good?-to her…

May I know a little more about Rachel’s background?

She loves gin and wine, thinks that her recently lost if compare to the other, particularly, the couple: Jess and Jason.

In addition, she is a luckless girl…

[[The Wright Brothers]] by David McCullough (Author) | Book-Hub Review Blog

Why can’t we fly like a bird? This statement is as the sort of question that the two brother, Wilbur and Orville Wright, thought in the year 1903.

These men have changed the big story of humankind, the father of airplane.

Click now for more detail

David McCullough, two-times winner The Pulitzer, has written "The Wright Brothers" the surprising story of Wilbur and Orville Wright about what happened backward 112 years’ time.

Some said, “Education is better than none”. To have high education is a good idea. Because of every good education will help learners to use it for working or making a living for their life.

However, that is not 100 percent true. Many people in this world who lack the education but they can achieve their goals; beyond someone who even who hold a degree certification too.

Wilbur and Orville Wright were born in a house without any basic facility at all. They did not go to any higher education either. Only books that these two men have enough to read and read.

It is the very good case study example. If anyone has an inspiration and are willing to reach out the star, they can do it. If they work hard enough for that.

This couple brother is very genius and curios-without much education and study materials in the past 100 years plus as present time of course. They can create ideas, which are out of the box and made up a small airplane as because of the word: “How can we fly?”, still speak out in theirs mind.

Not only think and build a strange thing (at that time), but also they test flying themselves. To fly from ground to ground as the same and different level, from ground to air, from high place to down. Try to try, fly and fly, repeatedly- what risk they take!

Flying as a pilot in the old day is definitely different from today. None of an accurate tool is used by the trial during testing. They have no worrying much finding thing to wear for protecting and keeping them safe from any accident that might be occurred. What to say is they are the brave for doing such kind of circumstances.

“There is a will, there is a way”. This proverb is real and work for all of ages, before Wilbur and Orville made the heavy machine to fly, they were well known in the Dayton bicycle. They designed and built their bicycle for safety to ride-“The safety Bicycle”.

What did they do about the invention (bicycle)?

They designed them with two equal-size wheels. It is comfortable to ride and mount with more ease.

Wilbur and Orville Wright learnt from their success in a small machine first. Then later they began doing thing that no one could imagine it.-The airplane.

Find more about the profoundly American story what happened in the past from the book, which is written by David McCullough. You will know every part of the Wright. It is the fact with the dramatic story. The story is about the two brothers who changed the world.

I am sure, if you do love in Aeronautics and Astronautics, you are in the same group.-with us…

Some sources to get cooking recipe books.

Sources to find food and ways for ending your obesity.

Etc.

Hence, what do you do to have a healthy health? You may have ever heard an expression “You are What You Eat”

Yes, you are right. Meals that you usually have every day will result you in health.

To imagine and compare between one who has fishes and the other has beefs can be seen obviously the differences of their appearances.

This is not talking about what impact health inside their body yet. To keep your body in good looking and fit – inside (well) and out (look) is:

1. To have a good health.

2. To have enough rest (in bed 5-8 hr. /night).

Etc.

Therefore, it is not so strange at all to learn that someone cannot do jobs in the kitchen well but the other can.

Nothing is too hard for man with strong passion if they want to. There are only several teaching methods or learning ways as the other word.

Here they are:

1. Leaning in schools as interactive that has an instructor.
2. Learning on line with interactive or non-interactive.
3. Self-taught.

Can you categorize subjects, which is suite for each teaching methods?

-Chemistry

-Law

-Cooking

-Medicine

-Business management

-Insurance

-Logistics

Now, if you want to cook, you only find a good cooking recipe book to read it first for several time and the next step is, you should do cooking and only look the line what you are not sure or forget some piece of it.

Eventually, if you do like as the statement above repeat-read and cook, cook and read, read, read, read, cook, cook, cook, read, read, cook, cook…, why not you are the master cooker! I labeled you already, ha ha.
