DR. MOMMY for Silhouette in a 2-for-1 edition. | Recipe of the Month
Okay, so here in Kentucky, we're rather known for an annual horse race. The Kentucky Derby. Maybe you've heard of it. We're also known for a traditional pie that's named after that race. But that pie name has been trademarked, copyrighted and treated in whatever other way possible to scare the bejabbers out of anyone who tries to publish a similar recipe under that name in a cookbook or anywhere else. So let's just call this Famous Kentucky Horse Race Pie. There. That should work. Anyway, this is my family's go-to dessert recipe for just about every occasion, whether there's a horse race or not.
2 eggs, beaten slightly 1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup flour 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips 1 cup pecans (or walnuts, if you prefer), coarsely chopped 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 tablespoon Bourbon Mix in this order, pour into unbaked pie shell, and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. So easy! So delicious! So Kentucky! Pics!
My writER life, as opposed to my writING life. (Yes, the two are very different. For instance, in my writING life, I seldom get out of my pajamas. And I for sure never wear cocktail dresses. That's what the writER does.)
With best writer buds Barbara O'Neal and Christie Ridgway at an awards presentation in 20something. (All those conferences run together ya know.) 
At a booksigning at The Bookstore in Radcliff, Kentucky with friends Toni Blair, Patricia Rice, Teresa Medeiros and fellow Louisville writer Beverly Bartlett. 
With Toni Blair again (she's in Kentucky, too, so we see each other a fair bit) and fellow Louisvillian (and New York Times List regular) J.R. Ward. 
At Kentucky Book Fair with Teresa Medeiros (who is also in Kentucky--yay for KY writers!) and Randall Wallace, who's written some wonderful historical fiction. Oh, and he's also an Academy Award nominee for his direction of "Secretariat" and his screenplay for "Braveheart." He's a super nice guy. 
In a limo headed to dinner with my editor in New York City. No, really. I am. These things actually happen when you become a writer. Just, you know, not very often. (That's fab writer Cathy Maxwell in the foreground.)
Why I Google myself. So I can find a cool pic of a bookcase in Poland with my book The Wedding on it. I am awed that I can sit at a computer in Kentucky and write a book that someone reads in Poland. To quote Spike the vampire, "That's just...neat."
The lovely booksellers of my local Doubleday made me a front window feature when My Man Pendleton came out. (Of course I was only a feature long enough to take this photo. The book stayed there a bit longer.)
When I did a signing for He Could Be the One at A Thousand and One Paperbacks in Louisville, the very inventive booksellers turned their front window into a recreation of the book's cover. I loved that. |
