Six Sentence Sunday

From The Undying and The Undead:

The native stone church just up the road probably boasted more bodies in the graveyard than the pew. He obeyed his tingling sense and parked. A stake in one hand, he pushed the door of the church open. Bodies in the pews, indeed. He stared at the two dozen folks in Wednesday Evening Church clothes, and the utter lack of blood on the scene, save for one place. “1 Cor. 15: 20-22” dripped across one white wall.

Yummy recipes for the season

Easy Soda Bread

Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup margarine, softened
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup buttermilk

Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet.

In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and margarine. Stir in 1 cup of buttermilk and egg. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead slightly. Form dough into a round and place on prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine melted butter with 1/4 cup buttermilk; brush loaf with this mixture. Use a sharp knife to cut an 'X' into the top of the loaf.

Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 30 to 50 minutes. You may continue to brush the loaf with the butter mixture while it bakes.


Tomorrow is Pie Day (3-14)
So here is some Prince of Wales pie

1 pie shell
2/3 c. packed brown sugar
2/3 c. butter
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 c. chopped pecans or walnuts
1/2 c. raisins
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 to 3 tbsp. semi-sweet chocolate chips
Unsweetened whipped cream
Pecan halves for garnish

Pre-bake pie shell. Combine brown sugar, butter and condensed milk in saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to boil. Stir constantly for 7 minutes until thick. Mixture scorches easily. Remove from heat. Stir in nuts and raisins.

Pour into shell. Sprinkle with chocolate chips - they will melt. Swirl chocolate on top of pie. Chill until firm. Top with whipped cream and pecans.

New Release

"Breathe Deep" is here!



http://www.amberquill.com/AmberAllure/BreatheDeep.html

Captain Salzoran and his merry crew haunt the spacelanes, taking what prizes they can. Years earlier, a chance encounter with a star yacht owned by one of the three Great Houses in the galaxy left Salzoran with a pretty green-eyed virgin boy in his cabin. He returned the young prince to his family, neither harmed, nor a virgin.

Now, although they have been apart for several years, Sharnil still remembers his pirate lover and misses him. Dissatisfied with his marriage and his life, he summons Salzoran to come and get him.

The designated meeting point is a pleasure station, built by Sharnil's father, and now hosting a month-long intersellar masquerade party and orgy. Here, on a metal wheel four miles in circumference, Salzoran must find his beloved prince amid thousands of costumed male revelers. And nothing is ever as easy as it sounds...
