    Eatin’ Nasty Hamburger Helper

    June 30, 2021 / 0 Comments

    She was hungry after her swim- famished actually- and although it was not quite five o’clock, she decided on a big skillet meal… what Scott- with great relish- would have called eatin nasty.

    Pound Cake with Blood Bool Raspberry Glaze

    June 30, 2021 / 0 Comments

    In his voice she hears mad jubilant relief, as if he has fixed everything. “And not just any bool, it’s a blood-bool!” She has never heard the word before, but she doesn’t mistake it for anything else, for boo or book or anything else. It’s bool, another Scott-word, and not just any bool but a blood-bool.” Stephen King, Lisey’s Story Tweet Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on linkedin Share on pinterest Share on email Share on google I'd like to think Stephen King would enjoy this dessert. Lisey definitely would. If you like this recipe, check out the book that inspired it! Lisey’s Story Book Review ~ A…

    Bug Juice Fruit Punch

    June 30, 2021 / 0 Comments

    Lisey understood that when the duty-nurse next visited the patio… she would find two empty chairs, two Dixie cups of bug-juice, one pair of slippers, and one pair of sneakers with the socks still in them. Then—and then wouldn’t be long—the nurse would raise the alarm.” Stephen King, Lisey’s Story Tweet Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on linkedin Share on pinterest Share on email Share on google This version is much tastier than what they served Darla at the "looney bin."

As Lisey faces life without her lover, she discovers an otherworldly scavenger hunt that Scott had set up before his death.  The path of King’s mind has the power to make one wonder at other worlds and mystical parallel universes. It’s thought provoking…
