The Author’s Plate
I blogged earlier this week about the First Reader’s dish – a hearty serving of spicy chorizo nachos. When we’d picked up the ingredients for it, we’d also gotten what I needed for this meal, which led to me joking that we are in a mixed marriage. No, it’s not that one is republican and…

First Reader’s Nachos
A while back I introduced my dear First Reader to chorizo. He’s fallen in love with it. I don’t mind – he doesn’t neglect me, and the spicy sausage is really good in a lot of meals. We picked up a bunch on sale, and he invented a nacho recipe using chorizo. He cooked it,…

Eat This While You Read That: Jason Rennie
I’ve expanded this series far beyond the traditional author roles, seeking to promote people who bring stories to readers. I’ve featured a long-form editor, Toni Weisskopf, whose efforts keep Baen Books the great place to find fun reads that it is. Now, I’m bringing you a gentleman who edits and brings you the short-form fiction…

Eat This While You Read That: Pat Patterson
I haven’t always done these posts for authors – there has been a webcomic artist, and an editor, and… and today I’m cooking to highlight the work of a reviewer. I’d call him a book critic except that’s a shallow description of what he is and what he does – because he doesn’t critique in…

Eat This While You Read That: Stryder Dancewolffe
Firstly, thank you to my readers for their patience, I’m afraid that my schedule is going to remain loose for a while as I’m focusing more on school than the blog. But I have to keep cooking, so cooking with a dual purpose is good! Stryder Dancewolffe gave me a rough sketch of a recipe…

King Cake
The First Reader has declared this his new favorite cake. I fell in love with it, too. It’s sweet but not tooth-achingly so. The lemon and nutmeg scented ‘cake’ is to die for and the sweet creamy filling is like the best danishes. It takes some work but it’s so worth it. Only it’s not…

Eat This While You Read That: Julie Frost
I met Julie Frost at LTUE last year, and then when her first novel came out, based on listening to her being funny and witty on a panel, grabbed the book. I discovered to my delight that she could write as well as she can talk – hey! There are people who can’t you…

Eat This While You Read That: Marty Kelley
When I started doing ETWYRT I will admit I didn’t have a big plan for how it would go. But in the year since I started (I’ve skipped a few weeks so we aren’t up to #52 yet) I’ve had the pleasure of talking to all kinds of authors, and an editor, and in asking…

Gummy Robots
A while back, I decided I wanted to try and do something about my fragile fingernails. After some discussion and research, I got everything I needed to make my own gummies… And then I got busy with school, holidays, more school… Yesterday, I marshaled the ingredients and whipped up a batch. When I was done…

Eat This While You Read That: La Vaughn Kemnow
I’ve been waiting on this day for a while. I started this blog series with no real intentions in my mind other than a playful way of promoting some friends and authors in a way I knew I could do – cooking – and to hone my own photography skills with a challenge. It’s been…

Simple Life: Pickled Eggs
It’s the start of a new semester. I’ve only got two semesters left, and this is one of them. I feel like life is kicking into high gear, and I’m going to be running to keep up. I know I do a lot of recipes on this blog, for a woman who doesn’t actually write…

Eat This While You Read That: Lois McMaster Bujold
I have to admit, being able to write this post gives me a fan-girl moment. I asked in Baen’s Bar and she actually took the time to answer me and suggest a dish. Lois McMaster Bujold has long been one of my favorite authors, and possibly the most influential one in my life, so I’m…
