Ray Bradbury remains one of my favorite writers. To label him a Science Fiction writer does him an injustice as he was so much more than that. His ability to spin tales was remarkable, but even more so was his ability to create images and word rhythms that dazzle and impress. You don't just read Bradbury, you luxuriate in his work, and even as you read, you find remarkable passages that describe the simplest of things. His eye saw the world differently and unlike many, he could show you what he saw. This collection of his work, much of it early in his nearly 70 years of writing, is a fine introduction. The story "I Sing the Body Electric" was one of his most delightful and thought-provoking. It was made into one of the outstanding episodes on the original Twilight Zone series. This story, while clearly a fantastic envisioning of the impact an electric grandmother would have on three kids, it also says much about life and loss and hope. I find every time I read one of his stories there are so many things to think about once I've finished. If you haven't read Bradbury before or just haven't read him lately, this is a fine reminder of a large talent who gave us so much enjoyment and wonder. I can't praise him or this introduction to his writings nearly enough.94 ReviewsRecipe courtesy of Ree DrummondShow: The Pioneer WomanEpisode: Cowboy LunchSave Recipe PrintPan-Fried Pork Chops (02:32)Total:25 minActive:25 minYield:8 servingsLevel:EasyIngredients1 teaspoon seasoned salt, plus more for seasoning1 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning8 pork breakfast chops1 cup all-purpose flourCayenne pepper1/2 cup canola oil1 tablespoon butterSmashed new potatoes, for servingAdd Checked Items to Grocery ListDirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops.Combine the flour and some cayenne, salt and black pepper.
