by J.J. Tanner from the Dinner Club Mysteries by Linda Wiken
I’m busy getting ready for our annual Christmas dinner, I mean the pre-Dec. 25th one, that the Culinary Capers has each year. This time it’s at Evan Thornton’s tomorrow, and the cookbook we’re using is called Jamie Oliver’s Christmas Cookbook. It has so many tempting recipes but I decided on a nippy weekend like this, an apple and squash soup is the way to go. Evan is cooking a goose.
As I said, I’m really looking forward to this and I like how there’s still just over a couple of weeks until Christmas. Yikes, is that all? Because the family Christmas dinner, complete with traditional turkey, at my parents’ house is the one that’s special every year. And this time around, I invited the delectable Ty Devine to come along, and he said yes. I don’t know if I was more shocked that I asked him or that he agreed. By why shouldn’t I, and he? We’ve been an item for some time now and I know he’s just waiting for me to show I’m ready for the next phase. And I am.
As I said, it should be a wonderful Christmas. Family, food and loads of traditions. What could be better?
If you’re celebrating, what’s on your menu? Are you a turkey person? Or, what?
Be sure to leave a comment and your name goes in the Season’s Readings draw. Today, I’m offering either a copy of READ AND BURIED by my alter ego, Erika Chase because it’s set at Christmas. Or you may choose the latest Dinner Club Mysteries book, MARINATING IN MURDER, by the real me. I’ll make the draw late Saturday afternoon.
Good luck and Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, or cheers to your own traditions.
