Forgotten Meringues
Say you were making something else, like the cheesecake recipe. Or a pudding or custard. And you wind up with egg whites that are ‘leftover’ from the recipe. There’s an easy solution for that. Make these little confections. You can call them cookies, or candy, but no matter the name, they will be gone before…

Cheesecake
Cheesecake, like so many other things, is more a state of mind than a simple recipe. The variations on it are nearly infinite, and even the ‘base’ of the recipe can be changed up. I looked at bunches of recipes online, and finally pulled out a cookbook to give myself a starting point. I really…

Eat This While You Read That: Kris Keldaran
I’m going to start this ETWYRT on an unusual note. I cooked a recipe I’m familiar with for this week’s dish, and that is thanks to my Dad. Dad, like me, was a military brat. His family landed in Hawaii for his highschool years, and it left a big impression on him, one he passed…

Eat This While You Read That: George Phillies
When I asked George Phillies for a dish and a book, he sent me several. So I had choices! With the juxtaposition of Christmas, traveling, and the kids to help me, I decided to go with his Snickerdoodles recipe. In a fun turn, this was a recipe you really can read while you make it,…

Eat This While You Read That: Kal Spriggs
For this blog series I have done lasagna, Alfredo sauce (twice) but not, previously, spaghetti. Today is that day. Kal Spriggs writes fun space opera, I reviewed his first one here, and recently has begun to produce epic fantasy as well. I was delighted to meet him in person this last LibertyCon, even if it…

Eat This While You Read That: LB Johnson
It’s rare that I have a recipe in this series where I haven’t talked to the author directly, and it’s also rare that I have a recipe I can’t publish. That’s because the author is a friend of friends and they asked her about taking part, and because like me, she cooks and posts recipes…

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…
