Well, it's been a year since things shut down. At the beginning of 2020, I for one had no idea where this was headed. Call me naïve, but I didn't expect life to come to standstill.

PO-TAY-TOES
... boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew? 🙂 Nope. Today we're going to be making foil pouch potatoes. Medieval folk did not eat taters. They were more widely known/harvested later in history, but since THE GOBLETS IMMORTAL is set in a mash-up of Medieval and Georgian history, it suits just fine. Imagine… Continue reading PO-TAY-TOES
Happy St. Patrick’s Day
Are you wearing green next Wednesday? Gonna dye your beer green? Saint Paddy's is the one day where every one of us likes to think we have a bit of Irish in our blood.

Baking With Beth: Chocolate Pie
What has chocolate pie got to do with writing? Very little, in this instance. There is no chocolate in the world I created in THE GOBLETS IMMORTAL, sadly. But there are pies and tarts and the like! So, tuck in. Or, rather, put on your apron and follow me on a culinary adventure! Unfortunately, I… Continue reading Baking With Beth: Chocolate Pie

Mm. Waffles--and pancakes! What a delicious way to break your fast in the morning. But wait. This is an author blog. What have pancakes and waffles got to do with anything fantastical or historical or writer...ical? 'Hem. While neither pancakes nor waffles appear in THE GOBLETS IMMORTAL books, pancakes (at least) existed in that universe.… Continue reading Cookin’ With Beth: Oatmeal Pancakes/Waffles
