Very cool, Sox! And now I have more authors to explore.
One author who seems to pay a lot of attention to food is Steven Brust. I'd love to eat with some of his characters.
Ouhh! Snacks! The secret to any successful migration! Who's up for some tasty fried meat products!?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

not your mom's socks.
Thanks PC and Calli - it was a really fun thing to do.
Calli, if you're interested, I interviewed Brust last year (and got him to autograph a Jhereg book for ita!). He passed on a pretty fine recipe at the end. [link]
And Scott Lynch and Brust came to visit and made up drinks for April fools. My personal favorite:
THE FATE OF BELOVED CHARACTERS 1 highball glass 1 bottle of bitters * TO SERVE: 1. Pour all the bitters into the glass. 2. Serve. Customer will garnish drink with own tears to taste.

Thanks, Sox. Mmmmm, that recipe looks delicious. I wonder if it would work well without the green peppers? Might be worth a shot.

Brust list of his hobbies include "inventing traditional Hungarian Cuisine". He does cook.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I'm reading the "Divergent" series and I'm on "Allegiant".
Uh .... what? I'm so confused.
I'm not very far into it but still, huh?

Yeah ... this is kind of nutty. Like, why change narration style all of a sudden?
