I hate it when copy editors change the names of minor characters. I didn't have immediate plans for this one, but now I have to double-check that she changed him everywhere...and that the name she chose was period.
I Need Suggestions About Local Garlic
Jul. 17th, 2013 08:35 pmLocal folk--can anyone suggest where in Austin can I get three bulbs of garlic that still have long leaves? Dried is fine!
Would like to try a photo shoot for an Allie cover.

Well, it's been an interesting month, but I have finished a dynamite Chapter 13, and am into Chapter 14. (My chapters, for the uninitiated, tend to be 20-30 manuscript pages. Or about 5,000-7,500 words.) Dialogue and interaction are flowing...I will finish designing the kitchen later. Except for Thomas Jefferson's stew-stove--we've got that.
Cousin Esme let the former president design her house. How does it look? A lot like Monticello, with wings for the school and the dormitories.
And yes, it's still winter in Manhattan where Cousin Esme's school is located.

Allie both ate squirrels and took advice from them -- until very recently, it was the American thing to do. Then commercial farming made chickens more plentiful, and eventually the chicken replaced the squirrel as the bottom rung in the protein list.
But people are starting to eat squirrels again.
In the south, they've never stopped.
But don't eat ground squirrels, like chipmunks and prairie dogs. They carry Bubonic Plague. Don't eat squirrel brains, either, no matter how tasty -- because apparently squirrels can carry Creutzfeldt-Jakob variant. Truth is, don't eat animal brains, period. Lots of critters can carry Creutzfeldt-Jakob variant. Save those brains for tanning skins.
I used to have terrible trouble with squirrels destroying my feeders. If I'd only had this instructional tape, I'd have started working up a squirrel repertoire! (The article's author suggests braising squirrel in white wine and chicken broth.)

Stumbled into a small article on The Museum of Contraception.
