What’s Romantic About Halloween?
Depends on how much fun you think it is to dress in costume, eat chocolate and answer the door a few dozen times during dinner. If you like pretending you’re Juliet and your sweetie is Romeo, you don’t need advice from me. Have at it. Well, except for the drinking poison and killing yourself parts. […]
What I Meant To Say Was…
How could I have forgotten I had just posted the mushroom soup recipe Jake had fixed for Danny in my last romance novel? What a silly error. So, for this weekend, instead of repeating what I posted last week, how about something else hot and sexy–oyster stew. It’s easy to make. And served with a […]
What I Do When I’m Not Here
Last week it was go to Ashland, OR and see plays. Which meant I never quite got back into the schedule of posting so the recipe for apple pie bites never made it to cyberspace. So, here it is. I got the recipe from Pinterest–where I spend altogether too much time. Apple Pie Bites Using […]

Even winter has its fans–snug and warm inside while the snow flies. But give me autumn every time. The […]

Now, Where Was I?
It’s been a long time, hasn’t it? Major family crisis now resolved so it’s time to get back to what passes for normal in my life. Which means, among other things, blogging about love and food. And it’s a new season, autumn, my favorite. Maybe it’s the fact that my birthday is in the fall. […]
