I’m
feeling lucky, starting a new year in my very own shop. I wouldn’t be here if
my friend Yolanda Bella hadn’t urged me to move here and rent the space next
door to her place, Bella’s Baskets. I’ve hired a good crew, I think, to help me
sell my vintage sweets.
It was
a stroke of serendipity that my grandmother arranged to have her recipe box
sent to me after her death. For one thing, going through those index cards in
the old metal box brought back sweet memories of the precious woman who had
helped raise me. She had come from New Jersey to Texas and always retained a
fondness for the old place. When I tried a couple of the recipes, the smells
and textures almost brought her back to life in my kitchen.
I
wasted no time selling my bakery in Austin and setting up a vintage sweet shop,
using her recipes for my basic products. I think I’ll ring in the New Year with
the Irish Cream Truffle Fudge.
My author, Kaye George, wants you to know that my first
adventure is on preorder at https://www.amazon.com/Revenge-Sweet-Vintage-Sweets-Mysteries-ebook/dp/B07TS1KJ4T/
But, better yet, you can enter a Goodreads Giveaway that our
generous publisher, Lyrical Press, has set up, to WIN a free copy. It goes until January 17th.
Good luck!!
