Bookshelf Banter: The Road
The Road, by Cormac McCarthy, is a literary fiction about a man and his son eking out an existence sometime after Armageddon. Yes, folks, this was an Oprah book not too long ago, but I avoided it at the time. I had a feeling it would dark and somewhat dismal and I didn’t think I [...]
Cool Off with a Hot Summer Dish
One of my favorite dishes from a Mexican restaurant in my home town is Cotel de Cameron, a Mexican version of shrimp cocktail. I’ve yet to find anything like it up here in the Pacific Northwest, and I began craving it as the hotter summer months drove me from cooking with heat.
