Recipe

Here's your email-only recipe for the week.

This fall dessert (or fall breakfast, depending on who you ask) is made with canned biscuits tossed in sugar and spices and then drizzled with a sticky pumpkin caramel sauce that coats each bite. Just be sure to use a can of pure pumpkin puree for this recipe; pumpkin pie filling will be too sweet!

Trivia Time

This week’s trivia question is:

What is the name of the whale in Herman Melville’s “Moby-Dick”?

Leave your answer in the comment section to be entered into this month’s trivia contest.

The answer to last week’s question:

What is the best-selling soup flavor in the UK? Tomato!! (one of my favorite comfort foods)

Books

What are you reading this week? Here is a suggestion for one I'll be reading soon.

RETURN TO A VANISHED WORLD, in this new edition of the beloved time-travel thriller:
​
October 2000
Soap-opera actress Cady Cuyler knows she is not brave, adventurous or accomplished; that's Sheila, the glamorous EMT she plays on TV. But other people think she really is Sheila, though Cady's life consists only of playing Sheila and providing a safety net to her mother Sandra, who's indifferent to her; she's still lost in grief over the disappearance of her husband years before in Dallas.
For the first time in her life, Cady, the armchair adventurer, can live an adventure more exciting than anything Sheila ever did. She might even change her own destiny... if she dares.
​Time can be altered. Lives can be altered.
