Eat This While You Read That: Lou Antonelli
When I asked Lou Antonelli for a story and a dish, he did something no other author has… he paired a story with the dish. Irredenta, which you can read here for free, is set on a colony world which has roots reaching back to Old Earth’s northern Italy. Perfect to read while you cook…

Eat This While You Read That: Jason Cordova
I won’t even pretend to understand the whole Kaiju thing. Giant monsters from the deep with no basis in biology? Hey, it’s science fantasy, I can roll with that. The stories are entertaining and anyway, they are more about the big BOOMs and stompy feets, and the brave souls fighting off the terrors that have…

Eat this While you Read That: James Young
As my readers likely realize, I know most of the authors in this series to one extent or another. That is, after all, how I get the chutzpah to ask them for a moment of their busy time to talk to a nutty lady about food and cooking. James Young is no exception. I met…

Welsh Rabbit: Cheese, it’s Good
There is no actual rabbit in this dish. The name is properly Rarebit, but most people hear that as rabbit, so that’s become the common name for it. There is, though, a lot of cheese in it, and that’s why I made it. My dear First Reader loves cheese, and on a shopping trip not…

Wild Boar Seekh Kebabs
The Little Man wanted to try something different, so he picked out a package of ground Wild Boar while we were at Jungle Jim’s. I had picked up a couple of packages of seasoning mix while I was at the Crescent Market, and decided that we’d do kebabs since the kids liked them when we’d…

Eat This While You Read That: David Weber
While at LibertyCon this summer I had the opportunity to meet and chat with David Weber for a bit. He’s a lovely man, devoted to his family, and a talented author who has more titles to his name than I ever dream of. I’ve enjoyed his work since I found Baen’s Bar, so this was…

Zucchini-Apple Bread
I’ve done many variations over the years on zucchini bread. It’s a sweet bread, almost a cake. Dense, moist, rich… and a great way to use up some of those squash before they stage an invasion. I’ve blended grated carrots and zucchini, used the yellow summer squash rather than the green, thrown in a handful…

I know it happens to you, too, so here’s a fast and elegant recipe for those sort of nights when you’re not wanting a peanut-better sandwich, but you haven’t time for much…

Crispy Bits of Meat
Last week at some point, we stumbled on a Mexican restaurant that was actually good, and in the most unexpected place. We’d been shopping in Middletown, and I keep meaning to try the little place tucked in an odd corner of strip malls, almost out of sight. Veracruz Mexican Restaurant is unassuming, very nice on…
