So many of you have forwarded me the Questionable Content cartoon for today entitled, ‘I love you, Sandra Hill.’ Have a look.
Perhaps your blood pressure will rise a bit at the “just a shitty romance novel.” And again at “Girl-porn.”
But look closer - she who casts the stone of “Girl-porn?” In the next frame she’s grabbing that paperback and then reading it. And even as the girl who calls her novel “shitty hilarious girl porn” sneers at it, she’s totally into it. I’d like to know where she falls on the Dear Author Apologia Scale.

As near as I can tell, this book is Viking Unchained.

I don’t cook much - that’s the husband’s job, and he’s damned good at it. But I do bake and am excellent at party food. My chocolate chip cookies are legendary. The recipe I use is a simple one, from…
Grilled Cheese.
So many variations that I love but nothing better on a cold night crunchy buttery bread with melted cheese. Yum. The ultimate comfort food.
I adore cooking. I make it a point to try and cook something yummy every day. And when I travel, I try to pick up a bit of the local cuisine from a good cook and of course, other foodies…
Or was that SEP? The incognito football star hero rolls into town, encountering the heroine, who’s wearing a costume. He’s wearing really expensive boots and she tells him he’s wearing the gayest boots she’s ever seen.
Of course…
