Summer Update

I can hardly believe that summer is almost over. I’ve been so busy that I’ve missed most the farmer’s markets downtown but I’ve penciled in a visit this Saturday to get fresh corn, tomatoes and peas. During the summer, I live on my own version of a caprese salad adding in basil from the garden, fresh off the ear corn, and newly picked peas. Okay, maybe it’s not a caprese salad but it does have tomatoes and mozzarella.
I’ve also made good use of a cake pop pan I picked up a couple years ago at Kohl’s. I found a picture on Pinterest of someone using it to make pancakes. And it actually does make pretty good pancakes. We use a regular pancake mix and then cook the round balls for three minutes. One big batch makes about 50 of them and then we freeze them. My daughter eats approximately 10 a day.
But enough about cooking. This summer I wrote a book I’ve always wanted to write. It’s not part of The Woodlands or The Kerr Chronicles. There will be a new book featuring Jake Tanner, BFF of Ian, out in November and a new Woodlands book early next year. Instead, it’s a book about football and love–two of my favorite subjects.
You’ll be hearing more about it in the upcoming weeks. The working title is “Sacked” and here’s a tiny excerpt.
“There are just some things you are born knowing. That you treat your mother with respect. That your family comes first. That bringing down a quarterback is a close to a religious experience as a boy can get. That when you meet the girl who’ll be sitting on the front porch holding your hand when you’re eighty, you don’t let a thing like cool dismissive looks, big brothers, or fucking rules stand in your way.”

I must say, from that tiny excerpt…I am looking forward to reading SACKED.
Excited for all the books you mentioned! Time can’t go by fast enough for Jake’s book! Also, on a cooking note – I recently deep fried mini cupcakes I baked and it was AH-Mazing! In case you ever get a hankering for deep fried sugar (I coated it in a thin, thin funnel cake like batter – but any sweet batter would do – and then fried in hot vegetable oil for approximately 4-5 minutes, total).
Yay! new books and excited for sacked!
