University of Chicago suggested summer reads by Quantrell Teaching Award Winners for June 16, 2026 follow:
I think J.L. Carr’s A Month in the Country about restoring a medieval mural in Northern England thanks to highly skilled labor and the healing power of great art looks very interesting. In fact, that sounds like a good screenplay.

European Beer and Lemonade Drinks Tradition by Ruth Paget
I first discovered European beer and lemonade drinks when I drank a French panaché at the St.-Nom-de-la-Bretèche Golf Club outside Paris, France.
I had organized a golf outing for several of the Japanese clients of the firm where I worked. I do not play golf, but I have learned to keep score for many sports after being part of a junior bowling league in Royal Oak, Michigan at the Yorba Linda Lanes.
This early bowling experience taught me how sports can promote food and beverage sales in local communities. I was very interested in the beer and lemonade combination and so were the Japanese, avid golf players.
In the 1990s, panaché became available in canned versions in Paris and rivaled Orangina for television advertising ads. I might not have started the trend, but I was there and certainly drank my share of French beer and lemonade when I lived in Paris.
I discovered that Germany also has beer and lemonade drink called radler (or radlermass) when I lived in Stuttgart, Germany. Germans mostly make radler with lemonade, but will sometimes add grapefruit and/or oranges to the citrus mix.
Back in California, I wondered if the English also have a beer and lemonade tradition. I looked through the internet responses and saw several websites describing a shandy, a beer and lemonade drink that can also be made with carbonated lemonade.
Recipes for these drinks call for 50% beer (Pilsner or ale) to 50% lemonade.
My preference among the three is German radler, because you can add many kinds of citrus to the citrus ade and avoid food waste.
All three beer and lemonade drinks – panaché, radler, and shandy – are easy to prepare summer drinks perfect for a barbecue.

Florence Paget is connecting with her English ancestors with this recipe for Yorkshire Pudding. We eat ours with steak and mashed potatoes. (Step-by-Step Photos Below)
For 6 People
Ingredients:
-1 cup flour
-3 eggs
-1 cup milk
-2 teaspoons iodized salt
-1 cm of olive oil each for 12-cup cupcake pan (To heat separately from batter)
Steps:
1-Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
2-Place 12-cup cupcake tray in oven with 1 cm of olive oil in each cup. Heat for 10 - 15 minutes.
3-Mix flour, eggs, milk, and salt together with a whisk to form a homogenous batter with a nice yellow sheen.
4-When the 10 - 15 minutes of oil heating are done, take out the tray. Fill each cupcake mold 2/3 full with butter. (Oil will bubble up through the batter.)

Sawle Family Ancestors of Ruth and Florence Paget by Ruth Paget
I used online public records in the United States to put together this virtual genealogy project on my Sawle ancestors from Cornwall, England. The Sawles were famous as ship captains of Celtic origin.
G1 refers to generation 1. David Sawle wrote a genealogy of the family in England, which I will add to this first step of information gathering.
G1 – Florence Paget
-daughter of Laurent Paget and Ruth Pennington
G2 – Ruth Pennington
-daughter of Clarence Pennington and Beatrice May Pennington
G3 – Beatrice May Sawle
-daughter of Frank Sawle and Daisy May Bardsley
G4 – Frank Henry Sawle
-son of William Stephen Sawle Sr and Jeanette Scott Hodgson
Born: 1901
Died: 1996
Frank Sawle’s sisters Elizabeth and Winifred were graduates of the University of Wisconsin at Whitewater and obtained teaching credentials.
G5 – William Stephen Sawle Sr
-son of Captain Stephen Sawle and Margaret Dunn Rowe
Born: 1858
Died: 1955
G6 – Captain Stephen Sawle
Immigrant to the United States. Entered the United States at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Settler of Arena, Wisconsin
Born: 1830, Porscatho, England
Died: 1910, Arena, Wisconsin, Iowa County
Spouse: Margaret Dunn Rowe
Born: 1835, Tregony, Cornwall, England
Married: January 29, 1857 in Cuby, Cornwall
Died: March 1, 1909 in Arena, Wisconsin, Iowa County
Margaret Dunn Rowe lived in Veryn, Cornwall and Gerrans, Cornwall before coming to the US with Captain Stephen Sawle. They entered the US at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
I will consult David Sawle’s genealogy for further information about the Sawle family in England.

Virtual Genealogy Project (Pennington Family) for Ruth Paget and Florence Paget by Ruth Paget
One of the skills I learned while studying for an MLIS in Library and Information Science at San José State University in California was how to do genealogical research using public records such as newspaper obituaries and death notices.
A librarian’s rite of passage prank is to have a newbie open a tightly coiled microfiche film container and put it into a reader only to have it fly half way across the library, because you failed to “firmly hold the microfiche on one side” while feeding it through the reader.
The second rite of passage is recoiling the microfiche and trying to find the needle in the haystack obituary for an approximate death date of “sometime in 1898.” Once you find the obituary, you have to tightly recoil the microfiche to fit in a small tubular canister without letting it fly across the library again.
Library staff like to remind librarians “only librarians with a master’s degree can do the genealogical work. That’s not in our job description.”
Since I have graduated from library school, many genealogical records have been uploaded to the internet, most notably to ancestry.com. Genealogical research appears to have moved into phase 2.0 with many records appearing in search engines like Google.
I recently did a virtual project test on my English Pennington ancestors. The first names of my ancestors reflect religious dissent through generations of Baptists, Quakers, Puritans, Church of England members (Episcopalians in the US), and maybe even some Masons.
My sister Kathleen recently sent me a privately done genealogy, which records our Pennington ancestors in England. Many members of the Pennington family have done genealogical work, especially those residing in Texas. the Texas Penningtons published Ornnington Pedigree at one time, which may be the source for this material from England.
I was happy with the results of my online search and recorded the results below. G before a number means “generation.”

I enjoyed gathering this information and liked finding all the family groups that I am related to by marriage as well. You have to verify what you find out about your family online, but it does give you material to start with when researching your family history.

In Search of Total Perfection Review by Ruth Paget
Readers who like chef’s travel books with recipes will find much to love in In Search of Total Perfection by Heston Blumenthal, owner of The Fat Duck, a 3-star Michelin restaurant in England.
Blumenthal traces the history and industries behind contemporary British favorite menu items including the foreign sounding ones that have been transformed a bit for British tastes. He goes a step further for some recipes by putting gastronomical claims to scientific tests like MRIs.
His rationale for travel is to find the best model to emulate for inclusion on British menus including his own, which drives him to dine on steak at Delmonico’s in New York, Bresse chicken in Burgundy France, and Amadei chocolate for his Black Forest cake among his travel activities.
I am always on the lookout for 3-star Michelin recipes when I read chef’s travel books so I can try some of the simpler recipes at home. The simpler recipes in In Search of Perfection are made up of about 5 to 7 basic recipes that are put together simultaneously by a team of cooks who often outnumber restaurant diners at The Fat Duck.
I love all the sections about the various “industries” that go into making food products mentioned in the book. These sections prompt you to savor and enjoy food rather than gobble it for the dishes described below in this 436-page book:
1-Roast chicken and roast potatoes
2-Chicken tikka masala
3-Peking duck
4-Steak
5-Spaghetti Bolognese
6-Chili con carne
7-Hamburger
8-Bangers and mash
9-Fish and chips
10-Fish Pie
11-Pizza
12-Risotto
13-Black Forest gateau
14-Treacle tart and ice cream
15-Baked Alaska
16-Trifle
In Search of Total Perfection by Heston Blumenthal could help readers interested in the following careers:
-anthropologist
-chef
-restaurant worker
-restaurant critic
-pastry chef
-travel planner
-recipe developer
-cookware salesman
-film crew worker
-restaurant publicist
Readers who would enjoy learning about the history, industries, and science involved in everyday food items will like In Search of Total Perfection by Heston Blumenthal, especially with its bonus recipes given with step-by-step directions.
