It doesn’t have to be that complicated. In
this book, Michael T. Kanazawa and Robert H. Miles
introduce a simple, practical approach: the Accelerated
Corporate Transformation (ACT) methodology.
Drawing on their experience working with hundreds

Pepper in Her Pocket: The Stove & Stories of a Country Grandmother - RaeAnn
Proost ‘65 - Booklocker.com
Mary Ann Ivie was a plucky little lady born in the
wilds of Idaho in 1878. She had seven children
to rear, food to put by, dinner to cook, and tales
to tell. Stroll with Mary Ann through her garden
and learn how her faith in God and strength of
family scaffolded her through trials in life and
assured the survival of six generations. Mary Ann
had one strong-willed daughter and one naughtytongued
granddaughter. She took to carrying a bit
of pepper in one of her apron pockets to catch the
nasty tongues and sass that erupted from those
two. Quick as a blink, she would catch the little
girls before they could run. Heirloom recipes of
English, Swedish, German, and Basque origins and
accompany each story. This book is the second of a
three-part series. The first book, “Sorry Little Supper,”
was published in 2005 and the third book,
“Cupcakes on the Counter,” will be published in
2009.
