Chia (Salvia hispanica) is a flowering plant that belongs to the mint family, Lamiaceae. It is native to Central and South America, particularly Mexico and Guatemala. Chia has been cultivated for centuries and is well-known for its edible seeds, which have gained popularity as a health food in recent years.

Appearance: Chia is an annual herb that grows to a height of about 3 to 5 feet (0.9 to 1.5 meters). It has square-shaped stems with opposite pairs of leaves that are green and slightly hairy. The flowers are small and purple or white in color, arranged in spikes at the top of the stems.

Culinary uses: The seeds of the Chia plant are the primary edible part and are highly nutritious. They are small, oval-shaped, and come in various colors, including black, white, and gray. Chia seeds are often added to smoothies, yogurt, oatmeal, and baked goods. When soaked in liquid, they develop a gel-like consistency, which makes them suitable for use as a thickening agent in recipes or as a vegan egg substitute.

Nutritional value: Chia seeds are considered a nutritional powerhouse. They are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, protein, antioxidants, and various vitamins and minerals, including calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Chia seeds are also low in calories and carbohydrates, making them a popular choice for those following a low-carb or ketogenic diet.

Health benefits: Chia seeds have gained popularity due to their potential health benefits. The high fiber content of chia seeds can help promote digestion and may contribute to a feeling of fullness, which could aid in weight management. The omega-3 fatty acids found in chia seeds are beneficial for heart health and can help reduce inflammation in the body. Additionally, chia seeds may help regulate blood sugar levels due to their ability to absorb water and form a gel-like substance in the digestive system.

Cultivation: Chia plants are relatively easy to grow and adapt to a variety of climates. They prefer well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. Chia seeds can be sown directly into the garden bed or started indoors and transplanted once the danger of frost has passed. They require regular watering, particularly during dry periods. The plants produce flowers and seeds within a few months, typically in late summer or early fall.

It's worth noting that chia seeds can absorb a significant amount of liquid, so it's important to consume them with plenty of fluids to prevent any discomfort. Additionally, individuals with certain medical conditions or those taking medication should consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating chia seeds into their diet.

Overall, chia seeds are a versatile and nutrient-dense food that can be enjoyed in various ways. Their nutritional profile and potential health benefits have contributed to their popularity as a superfood in recent years.

Stunning Storytelling
Format: Kindle
Excellent. I read The Help on a whim all those years ago and was spellbound by the author's ability to weave a complex story across multiple narrators. When I'd heard that her second novel was coming out, I added it to my library wishlist as fast as I could. Then, the second I got word it was available, I couldn't help but immediately dive in... and, because her first novel made such an impression upon me, I had so much trust in the author's ability to deliver a story that I hadn't even bothered to read the blurb. Going in blind into the Calamity Club was a discovery! I was charmed, entertained, amused, and once again, spellbound by Stockett's ability to shift between narrators. One, a somewhat sheltered but very bright and kindhearted woman Birdie. And the other, a charming and very intelligent 11-year-old seemingly orphaned girl, Meg. But beyond this, her ability to weave together a story featuring the fringes of society, giving people -- women, of various walks of life -- a voice in an era where women might have the vote, but are still subjected to a variety of society norms, laws, and double standards, is still very compelling. I adored Meg, and I was so invested in seeing how things would turn out for her. And the strong female cast that Stockett features here only adds to the story's strengths. Having read a few comments here on length, while I agree the story is a little long and the try-fail cycle of getting the underground business off the ground may feel pointless for some, it didn't bother me and only served to showcase the strength of the women. There were so many characters in this book that one could examine closer, from the aching pain of Rory's story to the quiet pain of the accidental loss of someone struggling with emotional struggles and alcoholism to the desperation of destitution, and the lengths one might go just to survive. There's so much within these pages to mine and consider, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My only critique is that I felt it ended so abruptly! I wanted just one further chapter, a glimpse of Meg's future... Still: an excellent read, and the Acknowledgements/Author's Note on the research involved in this one was one that made me think about how far we've come... and the direction of where we might go in the future.

Un-Putdown-Able
Format: Kindle
Wonderful book! It’s intriguing, heartfelt and funny as hell. There may be a few loose ends they are too easily wrapped up but honestly, it doesn’t detract from the overall impact of the book. I have to say that the story is enhanced by the Audible version, which is something I rarely say because I usually need to see the words in print. But the two readers of the book are superb and add a lot of depth to the characters. Honestly, if there’s a movie made of this book, I will probably be disappointed in the actors who portray the characters of Birdie and Meg because they won’t be as good as Jenna Lamia and January Lavoy who narrated this book for Audible.

Trying times in Oxford Mississippi in 1933
Format: Kindle
The Calamity Club features a cast of strong women and several weak men. The official charitable women are not charitable and the unofficial ones are courageous and are filled with good will. Stockett weaves a long tale of poverty, desperation, determination and sisterly love. Only two sets of sisters are blood related but those who are not, bond by working together for a common purpose. Stockett serves up humor and pathos in equal measure with a dash or two of realism. Her character development makes The Calamity Club well worth reading Like The Help, a screenplay should be forthcoming.

So Good!
Format: Hardcover
Some parts of this are reminiscent of The Help, but it is a brand new story. Even though it appears to be a LONG book (650 pages), it goes fast and is hard to put down. The story takes place in Mississippi in the 1930's. 24 year old Birdie travels to see her married sister in Oxford for the purpose of getting some financial help for her family. Her sister Frances married into a seemingly wealthy family, which for reasons that soon become clear, has now fallen on hard times. Eleven year old Meg lives in an orphanage and is treated badly by the volunteers that staff it. If her mom isn't going to come back and get her, then she wants to be adopted as soon as possible, but most people want babies, not older children. Charlie turns up at the house where Birdie is staying with her sister's family. She's bright and helpful, but what's her real story? How are they all connected? This story is at times hilarious and at other times heartbreaking. It has its share of villains, but most of the characters are likeable and you want them to succeed. Just HOW they succeed is the heart of the book, and I won't tell you and spoil the surprise. This is well worth reading, though, and I strongly recommend it.

Outstanding book
Format: Kindle
I loved this book so much that I'm sad that I've finished it. The story is fascinating, the characters well developed and the themes were important and heart wrenching. This is definitely one of the best books I ever read. I can't summarize the story without spoilers and I would not want to deny you the opportunity to enjoy the unfolding of this beautiful story. This is a book I will not forget and I look forward to Kathryn Society's next wonderful book. She is a tremendous author. Thank you Kathryn for the gift of this book!
