Chocolate Pudding Pie
The dear man, my beloved First Reader, has been asking for a chocolate pie for some time. In my quest to not get fat too quickly, as fun as getting fat is, I’d been putting it off until we’d recovered from the last dessert. He finally came up with the perfect need for pie: he’s…

Eat This While You Read That: Anita Young
I’ve done a husband-wife pairing before, with Sarah and Dan Hoyt. But it took me altogether too long to realize that although I’d gotten a recipe from James Young, I hadn’t talked with his lovely wife Anita about her books and food yet. For the meal, I’m making her Pepper Steak, and we’re recommending her…

Eat This While You Read That: Jeff Duntemann
The beauty and the challenge of ETWYRT is that I never know what I’ll get when I ask an author for a dish. At this point I’ve made everything from nostalgic dishes that reminded expatriates of home, to dishes that were taken from the pages of an author’s book. Some of the dishes have…

Eat This While you Read That: L Jagi Lamplighter
I had the pleasure of meeting Jagi and at least one of her charming children (I’m not sure. My kids, hers, and others were involved in this swirling vortex of geeky kidness. It was fun) at LibertyCon this summer. I’d previously encountered her Rachel books, YA fantasy with a boarding school theme and a very…

Cake For Breakfast
Back to school days tomorrow, and no time for special breakfasts. I hadn’t broken out the waffle maker this break, and I kept thinking about it, so today was the last chance for a while. We have this lovely thick bacon to serve alongside. But I didn’t want to just make a regular waffle. During…

Leftover Cranberry Sauce Scones
Ah, Thanksgiving. The day where we contemplate the blessings we have in life, and then we eat more than we ought. The next day, through the haze of a food hangover, we wince at the mound of leftovers that has taken over the whole refrigerator and wonder what we were thinking. Some leftovers can be…

Eat This While You Read That: JL Curtis
While most of the authors I talk to and ask to participate in ETWYRt are science fiction or fantasy authors, not all of them have to be. I read and enjoy many other genres, like JL Curtis’s books. The Grey Man is a little hard to quantify, beyond ‘action’ because they aren’t quite military and…

Apple Brown Betty
I do a lot of apple recipes. There are a couple of reasons for that: one, they are my First Reader’s favorite fruit (except maybe blackberries) and two, they are relatively cheap, easy to find, and non-perishable. I can buy a bag of apples and if I can’t do anything with them for a week,…

Eat This While You Read That: Ryk Spoor
When I asked Ryk for a dish, he sent me not just one, but two recipes. You make one to make the other. It took me quite some time to get ’round to making it, and part of the reason was the ingredient pictured above. Habanero peppers… But before I get into the recipes, let’s…

Eat This While You Read That: Clair Kiernan
When I originally got the dish and title from Clair, I planned to have this post appear close to Halloween. Well, I overshot a little. But zombies are in season year-round, right? And then when I tell you that even the resident curmudgeon read this book and pronounced it a bit of good, light fun,…

Eat This While You Read That: Pam Uphoff
Yes, it’s Sunday. No, I haven’t lost track of the days. What happened is that on Wednesday, the usual ETWYRT day, the blog was down. So here it is, and this coming Wednesday will be Clair Keirnan’s dish. When I asked Pam for a dish for the series, she came back and told me that…

Darkside Cookies II: The Prequel
When I started work on the perfect recipe to lure people to the dark side with cookies, I knew it might take a while to get it right. By working off the base of known-to-be-yum recipes, I managed it in two tries. It’s not that the first recipe attempt was bad. In fact, the First…
