😳 Can one live with revenge or justice, whichever it is?

Entertaining enough of a listen to keep me going. Off to look for the next one in the series, though apparently Eskens doesn‘t refer to it as such.

Sulfur Springs: A Novel | William Kent Krueger

While I mostly liked this book, it did get a little repetitive. There was also one instance where Cork didn‘t act quite right given the situation. I found it difficult to believe that neither the sheriff nor Cork‘s enemies noticed it. It could have changed the course of the events if they had. #audiowalk

It was so pretty outside today but still a little chilly. I didn‘t walk as far as I did yesterday so I didn‘t get as far in the book. It‘s weird to read one where Cork‘s kids barely show up. #audiowalk

It‘s been awhile since I‘ve listened to a Cork O‘Connor novel, so this next in the series for me is my new #audiowalk book. I did a lot of walking and driving today, so I‘m almost halfway through already. It‘s nice to be back in Cork‘s world even though we‘re in Arizona for this one instead of Minnesota.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks So pretty 😍 10mo

#Mtcookbook Up today, variation on pumpkin pie.

I‘m using one of my vintagy Watkins pie plates I found in a secondhand shop. They are the heavy ceramic types with recipes imprinted on them. I didn‘t know Watkins ever sold pie plates! (Watkins is an old spice company in our region.)

mabell I‘ve never come across one of those plates! We have Watkins around here too. How did the variation turn out?? 10mo
SamAnne I have one! Didnt know the history. 10mo
LeahBergen We have Watkins in Canada, too. I have one of their old cookbooks that belonged to my grandmother. 10mo

janeycanuck What a pretty pie plate! I love Watkins cinnamon, it‘s my go-to. 10mo
Tamra @mabell rave reviews from the family, which I‘m not surprised because it‘s richer and spicer than the more traditional recipe. I don‘t have a sweet tooth, but I did have a bite while serving and give it 👍🏾👍🏾. 10mo
Tamra @SamAnne which recipe is in yours? I explored the history on their website when I found the pie plates and it was fun. (edited) 10mo
Tamra @LeahBergen it‘s amazing how successful the company became given how humble its beginnings! How wonderful you have your grandmother‘s cookbook, those are the best. ❤️ Warm & fuzzy feelings. I keep my eye out for a Watkins cookbook, but no luck yet! 10mo
Tamra @janeycanuck Frequently I buy their vanilla. 😋 10mo

#Mtcookbook Basically, a variation on Mac & Cheese. 😋 This is common cooking in my house. I look at the leftovers in the fridge and pantry and find a suitable way to use them up. This was very tasty, per the hubby. I made it quite a bit spicer than the recipe directed. 🌶️

mabell That sounds good! 11mo
LeahBergen I love a casserole! 11mo
Tamra @LeahBergen you might like this book then - it‘s a chunkster with a lot of variety and she doesn‘t use can cream soups. (Not that I‘m above using a can soup when time pressed.) (edited) 11mo
Bookzombie Sounds yummy! 11mo
Tamra @Bookzombie it was! I wish there were more leftovers. @mabell (edited) 11mo

The Littlest Voyageur | Margi Preus

This was a sweet little tale, an early chapter book by Minnesota author Margi Preus. We have a voyageur from Montreal in our family history, so it was interesting to read from that perspective. (I‘m hoping he was like Jean Gentille, the book lover in this story!)

RebelReader This looks so enticing. Except I call them hot dishes not casseroles! 🤣🤣🤣 1y
Tamra @RebelReader I mentioned that to my husband! She is a Minnesotan, but I‘m guessing the publisher thought people outside the Midwest wouldn‘t know a hot dish. 😆 1y
RebelReader @tamra I think you‘re right! Whatever we call them, they are delicious! 1y
