Recipe: Not So Much

I very much enjoy Joanne Fluke’s books. This is one with her and two other authors I appreciate, Laura Levine and Leslie Meier. It’s been a while since I read it, but I think it was Joanne’s story that included a recipe with the two ingredients you see below: beets and pineapple.

Any recipe with both of those items in one end product is not for me. It just doesn’t work with the following food combination issues:

  • Fruit and veggies don’t mix in the same dish (see example below)
  • All meats are to be thoroughly cooked (this includes fish)
  • Sugar and meat don’t mix (no honey smoked ham or maple flavored bacon on my plate, but I can transfer it to yours)
  • Fruit and meat don’t mix (pineapple and ham pizza – there’s more for you to enjoy)

I am sure I have more oddities, i.e. preferences. What are some of yours?

Books are my Candy

Sweets. Candy. Chocolate. Jaw breakers. Licorice. Lemon drops. Peppermint patties.

Candy entices many people. They long to enjoy that sugar buzz or the flavor of a dark chocolate candy bar with a gooey caramel center. Perhaps the bitter and sweet taste of gummy candies.

The love I hear of candy, expresses well how I feel about books (most candy does not interest me). Don’t I mean reading? No, I don’t. I enjoy getting into a book more than I enjoy magazines, online articles, or the newspaper. A book to me is as luscious and enticing as chocolate is to most people.

Mysteries. Biographies. Humor. Oh my! Give me a Lorna Landvik tale or a Janet Evanovich adventure. Oh, a sweet mystery by Joanne Fluke, JoAnna Carl, or Diane Mott Davidson. Then there’s kitty cat sleuths with Rita Mae Brown or Miranda James. Delicious!!!
