Eat This While You Read That: Joe Monson
Joe assigned me a delightful task, with this book and meal. He didn’t send me a recipe, he suggested that I create an Adventurer’s Stew. You couldn’t possibly make a recipe for that. When you are out on a quest with your dragon… I should explain. Joe’s book to read with this meal is…

Shakshuka
I’m doing my own version of this recipe because frankly, it is super annoying to scroll for days through a food blog’s blather and ads and god-forbid-auto-playing videos… So here it is (printable version below the tutorial version). Preheat your oven to 375F 2-3 cubanelle peppers, seeded and diced. (I also threw in a…

Eat This While You Read That: Lawdog
This one is a little different. Unlike most of my posts, there isn’t an ebook for quick and handy reading. There is, however, audiobooks, and if you are patient and plan ahead, paper. It’s worth it. Lawdog’s books are trenchant observations on the human condition… but most of all, they are laugh-out-loud fall out…

Eat This While You Read That: Jerry Boyd
I asked Jerry Boyd to take part in this series because even though I have not (yet! I promise I will, Jerry!) read any of this series, they look like tons of fun. And the First Reader read all of them. It was a little funny – I manage the Kindle library, and I’d…

Eat This While You Read That: Christopher Woods
Chris is an awesome human being, second only to his lovely wife (sorry, Chris!) so I was very happy that he was willing to let me do a recipe for one of his books. I was downright giddy when he picked one of my favorite meals as his choice. The only problem was that the…

Eat This While You Read That – Sam Schall
Sam’s Smoked Chicken. Sometimes I wonder about that woman’s sense of humor. I mean, the books are collectively the Honor and Duty series. But the first one is Vengeance from Ashes and she asks me to smoke some chicken. I snorted, and then I got to thinking. Smoked chicken isn’t so much a recipe as…

Eat This While You Read That: Alma Boykin
I’ve been reading more, recently, and one of the series I have been catching up on is the Familiar Tales by Alma Boykin. It’s a lovely set of stories, that gradually lengthens from short interconnected tales of mages and their animal partners into novels centered more around one or two specific characters. I’ve been…

Eat This While You Read That: Misha Burnett and Louise Sorenson
Buckle in, folks! This is going to be a long one! Also, these are less recipes, and more techniques which you can use to make many, many delicious variations on a theme. When I reached out to Misha, who I know well, to ask him for a book and a dish for ETWYRT, I…

Coffee Drinkers and Bacon Lovers: Have we gone too Far?
I rarely take the teen wonders shopping with me these days. We do a lot of online shopping and then I’ll swoop by to pick up the order. For one thing, as my First Reader points out, it’s expensive to take them into the store. Whether he believes it or not, I really do…

Banana Waffles
This is a super quick and easy recipe, which is why I made it this morning. I wanted something baked and carb-a-licious, but I didn’t want to wait for something to bake after I mixed it up. Also, the kitchen is a mess (that’s my weekend excitement, how ’bout you?) so I didn’t really…

Mock Pecan Pie
This is a recipe from my mother-in-law, Dorothy Portwood Wilson, and it’s another one of those I’m adding to my fascination with food anthropology. You can tell a lot from a recipe, reading between the lines. This one, for instance. It’s a fine recipe for those who enjoy pecan pie, but have tree nut…
