Archer,  is hosting the French Winophiles as we explore and pair Gérard Bertrand Wines. Read her invitation here . Several of us were fortunate enough to have our posts sponsored by Gérard Bertrand. I, for one, had already sourced, tasted, and paired my wine. Then I received a suprise bottle from Gérard Bertrand* and changed direction.

I started this book - Pride, Prejudice, and Other Flavors: A Novel by Sonali Dev* - on Mothers' Day when I packed it into my backpack for a hike.  On the Page While the boys flew their remote control glider on the thermoclines around the dunes, I lounged on the sand, sucked down some coffee, and read about a third of the book. Then, while Jake manned the grill for my Thai-inspired Mothers' Day dinner, later that afternoon, I polished it off.  While I have read Pride and Prejudice  by Jane Austen, I vastly prefer the slightly darker themes explored in her contemporaries' works such as anything by the literary phenomenon that were t he Brontë sisters. I'm less interested in the  exploration of women's reliance on marriage in the pursuit of social standing and economic security as I intrigued by madwomen in attics. Just me? Maybe. At the center is Dr. Trisha Raje, a neurosurgeon at Stanford Medical, who has just created a way to gently nudg...

I love the Fantastical Food Fight coordinated by Sarah of  Fantastical Sharing of Recipes . For more information about the event, click  here . I haven't been very good at participating, but this month, I couldn't resist.  Our theme for the month is: burgers.   What delicious, carnivorous fun! Sarah wrote: "Your recipe must be a BURGER (theme) recipe. It does not have to be beef - any protein is fine...even black beans! Let your imagination run wild." The Burger Bar Inlinkz Link Party Since she said to let my imagination run wild, I was immediately thinking of some burger form of a low country seafood boil, as I had been rewatching some Mind of a Chef  episodes with Chef Sean Brock. But I couldn't really  figure that one out.  We love burgers and I've posted several quirky versions. Check out my Mimolette Burgers with Malbec Onions ;  I've played with lots of different flavor combinations recently, including what ...
