Ex-pariah Laura and ex-jock Owen hook up out of the blue at their boarding school reunion. He falls hard for her wit and curves, but she can't forgive him for his past cowardice. Can he show her he's worth trusting? For fans of Nina Hill and Evvie Drake. #pitmad#cr#wf#a
Top Chef x Evvie Drake Starts Over
NOURISH A chaotic, charming chef with ADHD wins TV competition and gets a book deal. His ghostwriter is a detail-oriented, grumpy widow writing her own cookbook. Is it a recipe for disaster, or the start of something sweet? #a#cr#wf#PitMad

THREAD: Lots of us learned classical music from watching old cartoons, so I’m going to identify the pieces that frequently popped up.
One of the most recognizable is Franz Liszt’s “Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2,” performed by those great piano virtuosos Bugs Bunny and Tom & Jerry.
@maggiejhoffman I know it's technically an amaro, but I wouldn't drink it neat after dinner! Kinda like how tomato's technically a fruit, but I wouldn't sweeten it and put it in a pie...
@maggiejhoffman Have you read Consuming Passions by Michael Lee West? There are some excellent vignettes in there about southern baking, and her chocolate sheet cake is the first cake I learned to bake age 13.

Me: It's cold today, I need to be extra cozy, I'll grab a blanket.
Cat: (jumps up on chair arm) LAP.
Me: No.
Cat: (paws at me) LAP!
Me: No, I'm writing.
Cat: (climbs on) BUTT.
Me: Yes. That is your butt. In my face. Can I at least get the pretty end?
Cat: LAP.
Me: FINE. LAP.
@danhancox Miniature cans of Spanish anchovy-stuffed olives are pretty much my dream snack. And I also like Castelvetranos, because it's basically like eating salted butter, in the best possible way.
@mhmhart42 I met Miranda when we attended a writing workshop together: we’d been asked to bring a book by a fave writer and she brought Home Cooking by Laurie Colwin. A year later, M and I were at a party where we saw another woman carrying Home Cooking and both went “ONE OF US!”
@shamblanderson Hello, something went wrong with the paperback printing of your book- it jumps from 300 back to 269, goes again to 300, then jumps to 333. Maybe a @randomhouse error?
