Cocktails at Sunset - a diagram

-
Since I spent hours creating a floor plan for the Sunset Elderly Living Facility in the next book, Cocktails at Sunset, I thought it might be fun to share it.

Then since I was sharing that, I decided to also include a few images I used when writing the scenes. You'll just have to read the book to find out where these are used.





Happy Trails,

Book Review - The Valley (The Valley Trilogy #1) by Helen Bryan

-
Image
This book moves away from my regular cozy mystery into historical women's fiction. It's the first book I've read by this author. The Valley is the first book in a trilogy set in colonial times Virginia. The setting grabbed my attention since that is the state I grew up in and love dearly. This review does have some spoilers and the book has a large cast so take notes. Sophia Grafton is a wealthy and spoiled child with homes in London and the countryside. She is raised by her adoring father who lavishes everything on her and allows her to run wild. As she reaches the marriageable age of sixteen it becomes apparent she needs a firmer hand. After no prospect is agreed upon by Sophia and her father, he moves her to their country home while he recovers from illness, in the hope that a local lad will catch her eye.

Devil's Tail & Witch's Tit cocktails by L. A. Keller

I absolutely love Halloween.  What is more fun than to dress up and eat pillow cases full of candy?  I love giving candy to all the kids who ring my door bell and love eating all the leftover candy too.  This year I have promised myself not to consume two large bags of Halloween candy before I give any away.  Instead, I'll be sampling a few cocktail recipes. Devil's Tail 1 1/2 oz Light Rum 1 oz Vodka 2 teaspoons Apricot Brandy - if you don't want to buy an entire bottle just for this tiny amount, try to obtain the one shot size or use an Apricot flavoring. 2 teaspoons Grenandine 1/2 oz Lime Juice - preferably fresh squeezed If you want to make this creamier, use sorbet. Combine ingredients in a blender with ice. Blend thoroughly Pour into a Champagne flute. Witch's Tit 2 oz Coffee Liqueur 1/2 oz Heavy Cream Maraschino cherry Pour coffee into a cordial or pousse cafe glass. Add cream by pouring over the back of a spoon so that it floats on the top...

Jayne's Restaurant Review - Sorso Wine Room

-
You know that I do like to have a sip or two of wine, every now and then, so when my friend invited me to try this wine restaurant in the Scottsdale Quarter, I was more than a little excited. Now keep in mind that the last time I was at the Scottsdale Quarter something really bad happened. If you don't know what I mean, then you'll have to read Menu for Murder to find out. Sorso has a wine vending machine concept - yes I am serious. You decide how much you want to spend and then simply put your card in the slot and bunch a button to sample from around thirty wines. You have a choice of a sip, a taste or a pour. I really wanted the Silver Oak, but it was a bit out of this server's budget. Since they also had great happy hour prices, I opted for the $5 glass of wine. They also have a great wine pairing menu which includes cheese and meat plates to share, delicious bruschetta, salads and sandwiches. Our food was very good and inventive. Next time maybe I'll try a sandw...
