Food and Drink
I have a tendency to incorporate my preferences for food and drink in my stories.
In The Consequential Love Series, many preferences appear: cookies (snickerdoodles and chocolate chip), Gin Bucks, martinis, wine (Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and Pinot Grigio), medium rare steak, and oatmeal.
Accidental Attraction included Italian food featuring tiramisu.
Restoration introduced the concept of a hotdish as opposed to a casserole and chocolate sundaes without the ice cream!
Sparks Fly has Swiss steak, broiled steaks with baked potatoes, and an interesting serving of mashed potatoes with a side of hectic!
Playground Antics brings on German food and apple strudel.
Green Eyes & Dimples has meatloaf with mashed potatoes, fried chicken with mashed potatoes topped by homemade gravy, unoaked Chardonnay, and maybe best of all, apple pie and brownies baked with the assistance of a toy dinosaur, aka Tiny!
Bourbon Neat brings wines, chamomile tea, and Reuben sandwiches. Yum!
In my newest book, not yet published, Resolved Regrets, I share our favorite way of preparing rib-eye steaks for grilling. Also included are a couple of favorites: green olive burger and a peanut butter & green olive sandwich. (Please don't judge me. I love green olives.)
Yes, I have fun putting a bit of me in each of my stories in various ways.
