SUMMER OF SALVATION 2009
Looking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen will be coming out in paperback on June 9, and I’ll be hitting the road again visiting bookstores, book clubs, and yes, a Dairy Queen or two.
I’ll start posting my schedule in January — never too soon to start thinking about warmer weather, Dilly Bars, and the perfect ripe tomato!
THANKSGIVING TREAT
When I went looking for a special fall dish that featured our beloved tomato, I found not only a wonderful and easy new recipe but an exciting new cooking talent right in the heart of Ringgold, Georgia! Chef Jernard Wells is cooking up food filled with great taste and lots of love. And he has graciously shared with us a tomato aspic recipe that even Mrs. Gulbenk would enjoy!
TOMATO SHRIMP ASPIC
1 cup hot water
2 small packages lemon gelatin
3 cups tomato juice
1 cup whole shrimp
1 cup shrimp pieces
3/4 cup finely chopped celery
1 small green pepper, finely chopped
Dissolve gelatin in hot water. Add tomato juice and chill until mixture begins to thicken. Add remaining ingredients. Chill until firm.
Enjoy!
P.S. And to my dear friend, Kaye, down in Little Rock — how about this??? Two days in a row!!!
HEADING TO RINGGOLD
Hi Everyone.
OK, I think it’s obvious now that I may be the worst blogger ever — I think a New Year’s Resolution is in order!
But I wanted to let you all know that I will be in Catherine Grace’s hometown on Saturday, December 6th, signing books at Never-Ending Books from 1 - 3. Come by and say I if you live in the area.
I’ll also be in Chattanooga this weekend at the brand new Barnes and Noble opening at Hamilton Place Mall. That’s Saturday the 22nd from 2 - 4 pm.
I’ll be back in touch in a day or two — I have a Thanksgiving treat for you. Yes, of course it involves tomatoes!
