Making Lemonade Out Of Lemons

Out of the “lemons” handed to Mexican American workers in Corona, California--low pay, segregated schooling, inadequate housing, and racial discrimination--Mexican men and women made “lemonade” by transforming leisure spaces such as baseball games, parades, festivals, and churches into politicized spaces where workers voiced their grievances, debated strategies for advancement, and built solidarity. Using oral history interviews, extensive citrus company records, and his own experiences in Corona, José Alamillo argues that Mexican Americans helped lay the groundwork for civil rights struggles and electoral campaigns in the post-World War II era.

Clichés are commonplace in the world today.Some people build their whole life around a catchy phrase that both entertains and informs. But a lot of times they only deal with surface issues that gives temporary answers to life's more serious issues. Clichés have a place in life and language. But to be helpful they must be transformed into something that empowers people to explore more deeply the great issues of our life and times.The effort of this book is to take a popular cliché and use it to enable people to think more seriously about the issue of bitterness and strife that pervades a great part of the population of the world today. To live a life full of bitterness and strife has to be one of the most distressing ways to live. Bitterness and strife absorb so much of a person's daily existence. It is hard to be constructive when something so strong as bitterness and strife has a foot hole in a person's life. So then, using the common cliché, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade", this book aims to lead the reader towards a path away from bitterness and strife and into a life of joy and peace. No one has to be bitter in life. Bitterness is a choice. There are alternatives. A path to a more positive and constructive way of life can be chosen. Since this cliché has been introduced into the language of modern culture it has been used by various disciplines, doctrines and daily conversations to capture the innate ability of many humans to rise above the pull of bitterness and adopt a lifestyle that chooses to be positive and constructive rather than angry and bitter. We are not created to be bitter, but to be a pleasant aroma that overcomes the harsh tone of our existence that pervades human interaction in so many sectors today."When life gives you lemons, make lemonade" is a cliché that is simple but profound in so many ways. Part of the aim of this book is to move it away from just its simplistic use to a more serious effort to transcend the pervasive tendency of modern humans to be consumed by bitterness and strife. Seven elements are presented as primers for acquiring the capacity to overcome any form of bitterness that seeks to have control over our lives. Some are biblical and some are human aspirations that have a close correlation to the teachings of the Bible. In either case the belief is that God desires that humans would be able, with divine help, to live a life that is void of bitterness and infused with God's love that is able to transform the most hurtful situations in life into expressions of God's all-encompassing love, mercy and grace. What I hope to do in this book is to enable someone to get beyond any anger or bitterness in life and become a stronger more loving, compassionate, and kind person.

*SHORTLISTED for the 2021 Gourmand World Cookbook Award* *SHORTLISTED for the 2022 Taste Canada Award for Single-Subject Cookbooks* A sustainable lifestyle starts in the kitchen with these use-what-you-have, spend-less-money recipes and tips, from the friendly voice behind @ZeroWasteChef. In her decade of living with as little plastic, food waste, and stuff as possible, Anne-Marie Bonneau, who blogs under the moniker Zero-Waste Chef, has preached that "zero-waste" is above all an intention, not a hard-and-fast rule. Because, sure, one person eliminating all their waste is great, but thousands of people doing 20 percent better will have a much bigger impact. And you likely already have all the tools you need to begin. In her debut book, Bonneau gives readers the facts to motivate them to do better, the simple (and usually free) fixes to ease them into wasting less, and finally, the recipes and strategies to turn them into self-reliant, money-saving cooks and makers. Rescue a hunk of bread from being sent to the landfill by making Mexican Hot Chocolate Bread Pudding, or revive some sad greens to make a pesto. Save 10 dollars (and the plastic tub) at the supermarket with Yes Whey, You Can Make Ricotta Cheese, then use the cheese in a galette and the leftover whey to make sourdough tortillas. With 75 vegan and vegetarian recipes for cooking with scraps, creating fermented staples, and using up all your groceries before they go bad--including end-of-recipe notes on what to do with your ingredients next--Bonneau lays out an attainable vision for a zero-waste kitchen.
