#IdiomInsight

I gained insight on #BuryTheHatchet today. An American English idiomatic expression that means to make peace, it‘s considered an idiom because we use its figurative definition over its literal meaning. It‘s an allusion to the practice of throwing weapons after hostility among Native Americans. After the formation of the Iroquois Confederacy, it was customary to bury weapons once peace was reached. Stanford University recently ⬇️

DebinHawaii … blocklisted it along with other idioms because it appropriates “a centuries-old tradition among North American indigenous peoples.” Suggested alternatives include “let bygones be bygones” or “kiss and make up.” I chose bygones, saw “pie gones” & thought of these pie cozies where if bygones had occurred, maybe murders would not have happened. 🤷🏻‍♀️🥧💛 14mo

TrishB That‘s really interesting 👍🏻 14mo

DebinHawaii @TrishB It is. I have loved this month‘s challenge because I have learned the origins of all the idioms chosen. It‘s pretty fascinating! 14mo

i.besteph No way, I can‘t believe you jumped on the Ellie Alexander train! How do you like it? So far? I‘ve kind of stopped halfway. I haven‘t read the recent book but I‘d love to hear your thoughts. 14mo

DebinHawaii @i.besteph I have been riding the Bakeshop Mysteries 🚂 for a while now 😉 & finished the newest book (17!) last month (tagged). I love foodie cozy mysteries & so I really enjoy this series. It‘s a good palate cleanser between heavier books & I like the characters. I got behind somewhere in the middle too, but caught up. I‘m still trying to get her Sloane Krause mysteries read.

i.besteph @DebinHawaii hahaha nice! I like how you described them ‘palate cleansers‘ 😍 yes, I haven‘t read the Sloan Krause mystery series yet. If you ever make a book club to read them I might join (hint hint 😉😂) 14mo

#GratefulHarvest

I have a bunch of #pie 🥧 titled books in my #TBR & read stacks including these 6 cozy mysteries & series books. I have read the tagged book from one of my favorite foodie cozy series & 2 of the Hannah Swenson books (before the series began to annoy me!). The Ellery Adams one I hope to get to soon & I just got One Poison Pie from @MeganAnn in my #BasicWitchSwap box & I am looking forward to reading it. 🥧🥧🥧

i.besteph Book description: The heat is on for pastry chef, family business operator, and unlikely sleuth Jules Capshaw. Just when she thought she could enjoy some time away from the kitchen, Jules manages to discover a skull during a picnic by the lake. As if unearthing remains that may be connected to a missing-persons case from the 1960s isn‘t enough on her plate, Jules must contend with the unsolved matter of her own marriage. 4y

#MarchMadness #Pies(PiDay3.14)

I am so behind on challenges. 😬I‘m going to try to catch some up tonight & this one was easy.

The Bakeshop Mysteries have good punny titles like this book & are fun to read. The pies were purchased & consumed a couple of weeks before Pi Day when a coworker left. This is my favorite fruit pie place in Hawaii. They make creative & delicious pies & give copious samples of warm pie & sell minis-so good to share.😋

Eggs

DebinHawaii Not that you asked but my absolute favorite pie here is Ted‘s Bakery Chocolate Haupia Pie—like a chocolate cream pie with a layer of coconut pudding. 😋Best consumed after a day at the North Shore. 5y

LauraJ Happy Pi Day! 5y

Cinfhen Yum!!!!! I‘d like to be living in Hawaii right now 🏝🌺🥥 5y

Eggs How fun! 🍫 and 🥥 🥧🥧❣️ 5y

Hooked_on_books There‘s a Foodland near me that has the best chocolate mac nut pie. I‘ve only bought it once cuz it‘s dangerously good! 🍫🌰🤤 And now I read your comment, it‘s Ted‘s Bakery! So good. (edited) 5y

DebinHawaii @LauraJ Thank you! You too! 🎉🥧 🎉 5y

DebinHawaii @Cinfhen Come on over! 🍍 5y

DebinHawaii @Eggs It‘s so good! 🥧 😋 5y

DebinHawaii @Hooked_on_books Yes! I have convinced myself that I can only have it at the North Shore because I live less than 2 miles from a Foodland & would not be able to stop buying it if I let myself once! 😆 5y

Finally finished my library e-book of the 9th in the Bakeshop Mystery series. The remodel of Torte, new employees & a couple of deaths for Jules & team, not to mention lots of daily special food & pastry-although, surprisingly given the title, not very much pie. Which makes my breakfast of coffee from SBUX, yogurt & blueberries from home & poi donut (see the purple inside) from a coworker, a fine accompaniment to this fun cozy foodie series. 😋💜

DebinHawaii P.S. I don't love this yogurt but I buy it on sale for the cute little jars for juice, or mousse, or puddings... 🤗 6y

Sleepswithbooks That donut - Holy Yum!!!!! 🤤 6y

DebinHawaii @Stacypatrice They are so good! 😋🍩 6y

Another great read by Ellie! Torte‘s making some awesome changes so Jules had lots of time to experience another mystery. She‘s got some exciting changes ahead of her.

It‘s been crazy cold so Juno and I are snuggling up and reading a lot.
