Kolaches, Fear and the House of Tudor



It has been awhile since I have added anything, but I have been reading feverishly. Susan Wiggs has fast become one of my favorite authors for fiction. I can hardly put a book down she has written. THE WINTER LODGE is excellent and replete with great sounding recipes. It is said that Camp Kioga is perfect for loving families and some not so loving. This is a story of small town, USA, the chief of Police, several very wealthy families and some very poor ones. Recipes are as include:  “Kolaches
for Beginners”. Most of these are from Jenny Majesky's Polish grandmother. Lemon Chess Pie, and “Happy Cake”. One of the recipes is a funeral casserole. It has ground beef, onion, carrots,broccoli, can crème of mushroom soup, chicken soup and chow mein noodles..

There is a brand new edition of the Tudor Rose Trilogy. The first book is AT THE KINGS COMMAND, the next is THE MAIDEN' S HAND. The third is AT THE QUEEN'S SUMMONS. They have to do with Henry VIII. You could read them in any order but since we now know what order they are supposed to be read in it will be easier to understand.

Dr. David Jeremiah has a new book on WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? It is excellent and it covers the fear of illness, storms, depression, death and just about any other fear you might have. Using some science, a lot of Scripture, common sense and a lot of Biblical characters he manages to relieve fears of all kinds.  Our library has no large print edition of this one, but it's worth a look.
