Over a week of Nanowrimo and I’m still trying to get in a routine! But I am branching out at the same time and yesterday Cathi and I recorded our first Game of Books Podcast! It is our humorous take on wine, food, mystery books. Hopefully you all enjoy it as much as we did making it. Click here to listen to it on Podbean. And very soon you will be able to find it wherever you listen to podcasts – itunes, google, or spotify.
During the podcast, eggplants came up! Cathi talked all about how Daniel Silva uses food scenes in his thriller, Fallen Angel. Not only do I want to read his books now, I also want to cook the eggplant I have in the fridge. Here is a recipe I was looking at trying, from The Stay at Home Chef.
To go with that recipe I can use the wine we talked about (and tasted) during the Podcast. A Yellow Tail Shiraz out of Australia and made by the Casella family. Check out their website for a look at their long history of wine making. Cathi also informed me that Sirah and Shiraz are the same type of wine only one got its name in France and the other in Australia. Don’t believe her? Check out Vinepair.com that explains it all.
And finally, after all is prepared I will sit down and watch Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone for the lovely looking feasts in the Great Hall and the great story by JK Rowling. I also forgot to mention on our podcast that the book is called Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone everywhere else but the US. It was JK Rowling’s original title but the publishers didn’t think it was mysterious enough for us Americans. By the way, I’m a Gryffindor and Cathi is a Ravenclaw.

Stay warm if you are from Cathi’s world and stay cool if you are in mine … and everywhere in between, have a great weekend!
