Stories Savory and Sweet

More about the book

Some of the stories in this charming collection will make you smile and even laugh outloud; others will touch on sweet memories. You’ll visit enchanted gardens, meet characters like Cousin Soupmeat and Crazy Ruthie, enjoy an encounter with a movie star in Rome, eat cholocate after dark, experience the kindness of strangers and the foibles of owning a vacation home, and ingeniously follow the history of a dining room table as it passes from family to family. Recipes for Hot’n Gooey fudge, French onion soup, and other delacacies are also included in the text. Each story is unique but in various ways they all exhibit the author’s humor, wit, and insight into subtleties of human character and the value of social connections.
