I, too, need to read books that don’t upset me or I can’t get to sleep. Some favourites of mine are the novels of S.J. Bennett, Dorothy Sayers, Jill Paton Walsh, Ngaio Marsh. M.L.Longworth, c.c.bennison, Steve Burrows, Anne Emery, Charles Finch, and a B.C. author, Iona Whishaw. I loved to read about Dervla Murphy ‘s trip by bicycle to India and Bill Bryson’s trip to Australia, Old favourites include W.O.Mitchell, Robertson Davies, Constance Beresford-Howe, Elizabeth Hay, Jane Urquhart, Today I took out of the library “Valley of the Birdtail, an Indian Reserve, a White Town, and the Road to Reconciliation by by A.S.Sniderman and Douglas Sanderson. In last Saturday’s Globe and Mail there was an article about Booker winner, Eleanor Catton , who wrote “The Luminaries”. She has a new book entitled”Birnam Wood”. I had trouble figuring out what was going on in “The Luminaries” but it got such rave reviews that I will probably reread it. I often turn to humour before bed and in the middle of the night and I’m a great fan of John Mortimer’s Horace Rumpole books.

Hi, I am looking for the recipe for Studio Oatcakes. I think it is one of your books but I can’t find it. I know that there are lots of oatcake recipes out there but I really liked yours and so did my husband. Even the page number of the book with the recipe and which book is all I really need. Thx.

Steak recipe for Angela.
Heat cast iron skillet on medium high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil until shimmying per steak. Add room temperature, salted and peppered steak. Cook 4 minutes per side (don’t move steak during 4 minutes). Reduce heat to medium low. Add 3 tablespoons butter, 3 garlic cloves smashed, and one sprig rosemary per steak. Stir butter to melt. Tilt the pan and spoon butter over the steak a few times. Let steak rest for 5 minutes. Delicious and easy.

Just finished watching today’s Thursday Live. and it was very entertaining. The conversations going from one subject to another. Even laughed with you all. And I so
agree, sign up for the Inspiration sessions.
