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…

Eat This While You Read That: Michael Hooten
Both the First Reader and I have enjoyed Michael Hooten‘s Cricket series very much, finding them to be high fantasy without over-reliance on tropes and thus refreshing to read. His characters are lively, so it came as no surprise to find a note appended to the recipe he sent me. The book we recommend for…

Rain Falling
There is a sort of peacefulness to being indoors with the rain falling down safely out of doors. A warm cup of coffee, a list of tasks which may be completed without stepping foot out of the house… it’s all good. I was baking yesterday and am doing more today, as I work on another…

Eat This While You Read That: Michael Z Williamson
This week’s ETWYRT is a little different. It was, for one thing, a meal that had me doing much more contemplation than usual before I embarked on it. When I asked MadMike for a dish, I knew he was busy and wouldn’t send a recipe, except… he did. And an unspoken challenge. He knows me…

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…

Eat This While you Read That: Larry Correia
I’d first asked Larry Correia if he’d be willing to take part in this series of foodie book blogs when I saw him at LTUE this spring, and his eyes lit up. “I love food!” he told me, and then he had to hurry off to another panel. I was busy too – that is…

Kangaroo Pot Pies
No, that’s not a funny headline meant to draw you into some post about writing… that really is the recipe of the day! We took the Geeky Kids shopping the other day, and while the Jr. Mad Scientist was deeply suspicious of the ‘exotic meats’ freezer, the Little Man enthusiastically picked out kangaroo meat to…

Eat This While You Read That: Chris Nuttall
Chris is a bright star in the Indie scene, with dozens of novels released in the few years since his writing career began. When I asked Chris if he’d like to take part, and assured him that all I needed was the name of a dish, I didn’t want him to take time from his…

No Smoker? No Problem!
I’ve been very happy to have a grill in my life again. But I do miss smoking my meats… and a smoker isn’t an option, we just don’t have room. That, and if we move soon as we plan to, I don’t want to deal with any more large items than I have to. The…

Eat This While You Read That: Sabrina Chase
When I asked Sabrina Chase for a dish to cook and a book, she had an instant answer. It seems that there is a recurring mention of cornbread in her book, The Scent of Metal. Perfect! And it’s such a versatile side-dish, too. We eat it often here, although our recipe is a bit different.…
