Eat like a bear, and sock mending

At this rate these hand knit socks will be more darn than sock. But they're getting more interesting, so there's that.

And yesterday I did some very simple cooking. Salmon tails panfried in avocado oil and butter, peas,  little yellow potatoes microwaved and mashed.

Three meals, with lemon juice added to the pan, swirled around to pick up the oils in a brown butter, then drizzled over the cooked fish.

Then dessert, berries with raw honey.

At this point, salmon, berries, honey, I realized I was on the Eat Like a Bear Diet. Which may explain why I fancy hibernating until March.

I've been listening to this on audio book, a whiny reader, sounds like "I'm telling on you to the teacher" type, but I tolerated it till I got the Kindle version, switched, gladly returned the audio, and realized on reading further: this is another book about plagiarizing! 

Another book about a writing  teacher whose own novels are drying up, using the work of a now dead student, just the plot,  but writing the novel itself. 

Isn't this very much like the much newer Yellowface, except there it's a fellow writer and an entire nonfiction manuscript? Are we seeing books about plagiarism plagiarizing each other? Is this a literary version of the recursive image? Answer came there none.

Happy day, everyone, try to think your own thinks!

Has anyone got the puzzle yet, or have I been missing subtle clues?
