Hey Blunder Woman

It’s Friday and I’ve finished another week of daily posts to Blunder Woman. I’m pleased to hear that a few of you are sticking with Chloe, waiting to find out what will happen next. 

If you’ve read this far (through 44) then you are at the end of Part Two. On Monday, I’ll begin Part Three, the final leg of Chloe’s journey. I’m a little ahead of the posts in terms of writing but I know a couple of things: Chloe isn’t finished yet with Matt, and she’s about to take on a big challenge which ends in a night of motorcyclists, high wire walking, and a very strange public display.  She’s also going to meet a couple of new ‘friends’. We’ll see what you think.

Thank you for reading, and for your encouragement. Whether you realize it or not, just having a group of readers has helped me so much. I’m going to finish this book and then begin the long quest for an agent. Or maybe I’ll just publish this and my first book “Easy Does It” on my own.

Thoughts or suggestions? Always happy to hear from you. Let me know what you think. (And if you don’t want your comments posted on the website, let me know that too. I can keep a secret.)

See you Monday with the beginning of Part Three and Chloe’s final (mis)adventure.

PS Like what you’re reading? Please tell a friend. I don’t make money on this, but I am trying to build a readership for this book & whatever comes next.

If you’re reading Blunder Woman, you may have wondered, wow, what exactly is Hippie Hash? Or what’s arecipe for a Flaming Turtle?

The answer? No one knows. They’re both products of Tanya’s twisted Fantasy World. But that doesn’t mean they can’t become reality. 

To make her fantasy a reality, Tanya contacted her friend EZ (aka RBJ aka Russell Belvadere Johosafat Parsimion III) to see if he could actually create a real, live flaming turtle…that is a drink and not an actual reptile set aflame. Here is his delicious response:

“My thought on a ‘turtle’ is that it is a slow drink. Something warm on a winter’s night. I sugar the rim of a brandy snifter (cinnamon and sugar works better) and then add a half shot of Contriuea. Contreau? Cointrieau? The French orange liquor. Contreau is flamable where Grand Marnier is not….

Light the liquor, swirl the flame over the sugar cinnamon until it carmelizes on the rim… then you can add Godiva for the chocolate….

As for mixers…. Hot chocolate, coffee, or half and half ought to work nicely. The coffee version with whipped cream is actually one of my specialties.

I don’t know if you can float Cointrteaiu or not, thus allowing you to serve it “flaming”… But flaming the rim works about as well…

Or you can float brandy and flame it as you present.

The hint of orange with the chocolate would be sensational.”
