February 2007
This month, instead of the usual Passionate Kitchen column, I wanted to provide you with some links I've been checking out. All of them provide recipes either in a weekly newsletter or when you type in ingredients. The goal is to get you cooking more and eating out less so you and your family are eating healthier meals and spending time together.

Most authors pride themselves on their original story ideas, but lets face it, how many stories can there be about alien abductions, good girls who want to be bad, the plain Jane gets her man, hard working woman is swept off her feet by handsome billionaire, best friends who fall in love, werewolves/vampires looking for their perfect mate or some variation thereof?

Congratulations to Julia Juergens who was our January winner!

Hello to all you Cheeky Changelings out there! February is the month of love, so let's kick it off with some rumors of celebrity romance!

Cutesy crooner Justin Timberlake may be responsible for bringing sexy back , but chatter about the former teen idol rekindling the flame with his newly single ex-girlfriend Britney Spears has elicited staunch denials. Reps for Timberlake insist that the alleged reunion with La Spears are untrue. However, sources do confirm that Justin and Britney's moms are as close as ever, telephoning each other on a regular basis…

I love my job... edition number... errr... I've lost track but it's been a while. Why? Well, system overload? I haven't really taken the time to just READ for pleasure for a while. In fact I usually try not to. I do the line edits from the ass end of the book backward so I won't be tempted to forget I'm WORKING here. I love our books, and I do read them again AFTER the line edits, but by then I don't really have time to post much.

Sometimes no matter how hard I try a books pulls me out of that professional, editor, type mode. Alice Gaines' One Owner, Lady Driven is just such a book.

Why? Well, it starts with a motorcycle. Not just any motorcycle. The motorcycle. The crown jewel of motorcycles. A motorcycle so perfect it might have been built just for Claire. Claire is a woman I can identify very closely with. The driven dedicated CEO of a large company, she has only one chink in her armor -- a love of motorcycles. And THIS one -- well he's different. She also has a weakness for one man -- a man whose entire existence is focused on her well-being. A man she thinks isn't real. And he isn't -- exactly. He's something more than human. He's also her motorcycle. I've read a lot of shapeshifters -- and written my share -- I do love my shapeshifters. But never have I read a tale of a shapeshifting motorcycle. It takes something pretty extraordinary these days to make me go "Wow, I never thought of that!" followed shortly by "Damn, what a hot concept!" Not to mention the man he turns into is soo completely scrumptious -- and just as willful as the motorcycle.

Family Problems

No poet came from a more eccentric family than did Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809-92), the poet laureate of Victorian Britain. His father , a parson in Lincolnshire, England, terrified the neighborhood and was once barely restrained from murdering his son Frederick with a gun and a knife. Of the parson's 12 children, two were insane, one was a drug addict, one was an alcoholic, one was subject to outbursts of rage almost as bad as the father's, and all had bouts of depression alternating with various forms of religious mania.

Despite this background, Tennyson produced some of the most popular poems of the 19th century. The included The Charge of The Light Brigade and The Idylls of The King, which was based on the legend of King Arthur. His masterpiece, In Memoriam, was written about the death of his fellow poet and close friend Arthur Hallam, who had been engaged to Tennyson's sister Emily.

Reader's Digest Book of Facts 1987.
