Eat This While You Read That: Jim Baen
Writing this post made me reflect on missed opportunities. I never got to meet Jim Baen in person. I would have liked to, and to take him pecan sandies, which I knew were his favorites. Sadly, I couldn’t travel, and then, he was gone. But he’ll never be forgotten and I wanted to pay…

Father’s Day: Spicy Ribs
Since men are usually the masters of the grill, playing with fire and slabs ‘o meat and slathering on the heat in the form of hot sauces… Dads, this recipe is for you. If you’re grilling, you’ll want to have two fire receptacles available. One should be a smoker or grill with a cover. This…

Memories and Ice Cream
We were sitting on the porch at Dorothy-Mom’s house last week, talking. Making plans for summer, musing about summers gone by, and relaxing. We do that a lot at her house. But I mentioned that I’d gotten an ice-cream maker, partly for an ETWYRT recipe, and partly for the kids to amuse themselves with this…

Eat This While You Read That: Chris Smith
Chris Smith has a sick, evil, twisted sense of humor. I do like that in a person. Really! But he made me laugh out loud when he suggested the dish for this, and I’m sure that was his intention all along. Oh, and because it’s delicious. But mostly, I’m sure it was the punniness of…

The Donut Report
I got a craving for doughnuts this morning. Ohio, unlike NH, does not have the obsession with these pastries that has led to a D&D on every street corner in New England. So I set off on a quest to the next town over, running errands while I was out to justify my jaunt. I…

Eat This While You Read That: Cal Primer
Most of the time when I contact an author, it’s about 4-6 weeks before their dish appears here. I try not to rush, I know what it’s like between writing and life and everything. I’d pinged Cal a while back, asking if she’d like to take part, and she was interested… and then I turned…

Eat This while you Read That: Jody Lynn Nye
Jody Lynn Nye handed me a challenge for her ETWYRT. Most often, an author suggests their favorite meal, either to eat or prepare. Others choose a meal that reflects their heritage, like Sarah Hoyt’s Bolinhos de Bacalhau, and Peter Grant’s Koeksusters. Jody suggested a meal from one of her books. Since she writes science fiction (and…

Sunday Morning Bread Pudding
This takes a while to bake – perfect for a morning when you don’t have to run right out the door for work or school. It could be used as dessert, too, although I’d up the amount of sugar or drizzle caramel sauce over it if I were going to serve it that way! I…

Eat This While You Read That: Martin Shoemaker
When I asked Martin Shoemaker, who I know best for hard science fiction stories, for a dish and a title for ETWYRT, he surprised me. The story he recommended was one that he’d written this dish into… and it’s about voudon, and a grandfather, and a sweet potato pudding. Ok, the pudding isn’t really a…

Restoring Cast Iron
I’m pleased to present a guest post from Chris Maddox. We were both commenting on a thread about reseasoning cast iron, and he mentioned restoration. I happily begged for a guest post and he obliged. Cast iron is a topic I’ve covered before, and I’m happy to get back to it. I grew up cooking…

Eat This While You Read That: Kevin J Anderson
Not only is Kevin J Anderson one of the giants in the SF writing world, but his publishing house, Wordfire, is a bright new light in the field. When I asked him for a dish and a title, he was gracious enough to send it along, and I was delighted to see what was in…

Eat This While you Read That: Kacey Ezell
I’m not sure where to start with Kacey Ezell. For one thing, I want to fangirl here, but I don’t want to embarrass her, either. It’s not for her writing – although that’s very good, and you’ll enjoy it – it’s for what she’s done. I knew about her for years before I got to…
