Armed with "The Here List" and a Type-A personality, Seattle-based
writer and cookbook author Jess Thomson sets out to spend a year
exploring the food of the Pacific Northwest with her family.
Planning to revel in the culinary riches of the region and hoping
to break her son, Graham, of his childhood pickiness, the
adventures into the great nearby include building a backyard
chicken coop, truffle hunting in Oregon, and razor clamming on the
Washington coast. Her plans to spend "a year right here" are
complicated by efforts to help Graham overcome some of the mobility
limitations of cerebral palsy, and thwarted further by her own
limitations that come to the fore when she attempts the "Gourmet
Century," a hilly one-hundred-kilometer bike ride with gourmet food
stops along the way. With touching, funny, sometimes devastating
stories that we all can relate to, Jess pulls the reader in as she
abandons "The Here List" and learns that letting go can be just as
important as holding on.
