Darkside Cookies
If you hang around with science fiction fans (of any flavor) you will inevitably hear a certain phrase. It’s always offered up with giggles, or a leer, or… Come to the Dark Side, we have cookies! Being a geek, and a foodie, when the First Reader made a joke about the dark side having better…

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: Lars Walker
I’ve enjoyed Lars Walker’s work for years, reading his impeccably researched books about Vikings and the Norsemen first from Baen, and now his Indie works. Although his work is rarely light, it is compelling, thoughtful fiction that still manages to blend action with philosophy and create stories I want to read. I was a little…

Tiramisu
This isn’t my recipe, and I didn’t tinker with it (much). I played it (almost) straight, and got exactly what I wanted. The beauty of following a precise recipe is that you know it’s going to come out all right. Fluffy, light, delicate, a touch of bitter to offset the rich sweetness. Tiramisu continues to…

Rice: Part One – the Basics
The First Reader posted a funny on facebook: other people may be wine snobs, or scotch snobs, but my wife is a rice snob. Well, I am. We’d been talking about a Thai restaurant we’d visited a while back, and why I wouldn’t go back to it. We were served American medium-grain white rice, overcooked,…

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: Tom Rogneby
I didn’t realize when I asked Tom for a dish for ETWYRT that he also food blogs. Which makes sense, really, I know a few authors, like myself, who are rather fond of this food thing, and putting things in our mouth, especially tasty things. Tom, being a father, makes foodstuffs for his baby bears…

Chicken and Waffles
After a long day of homework, under pressure for a triple deadline on assignments, I decided that I would cook dinner for relaxation. I like cooking, and after sitting at my desk beating my head against math (mostly. At this level Chemistry, Physics and Calculus is ALL math) for the better part of a day,…

Eat This While You Read That: Leo Champion
I was kidding around with Leo when I asked him for a dish to write up for ETWYRT. I don’t even have to ask, I typed, I can just make pizza and serve it with Mountain Dew. Hey! He came back, I’m eating a lot healthier now! After some time to think, he told me…

Eat This While You Read That: Dan Hoyt
I was privileged to read Dan’s debut novel, Ninth Euclid’s Prince, in the beta stage, and it’s a fun romp into Space Opera – almost literally, with a setting that is as dramatic as any Italian stage. One of the things you will find in the book (along with Byzantine intrigue, high fashion, and a…

The Emergency Holographic Korean Restaurant
For the second time in a row, we found ourselves in Fairborn, OH, looking forlornly at the empty dining room of our favorite restaurant. We’d learned when we tried to take friends there a while back that they were closed on Sundays, but a Saturday? Fortunately, a sign on the door assured us that this…

Eat This While You Read That: Lloyd Behm
Lloyd A Behm is responsible for one of the Hard SF books written in the last couple of years that is eminently readable. Since this meal took me a couple of days from start to finish, you’ll have plenty of time to read. The Martian Aria is reviewed here, but the thumbnail is: great characters,…
