Pina Colada Cake and a Book Review

I just finished listening to The House at the End of the World by Dean Koontz.  Like all of Koontz's novels, it is filled with conspiracy theories, people on the run from big government and scientific explorations that are top secret and have horrendous results and, of course, a happy ending.  I enjoyed it as I do all of his works.

Coconut Biscuits for A Few Right Thinking Men

This is a historical fiction novel set in New South Wales during the depression.  It is a political novel revolving around 3 factions, the Old Guard (read Republicans), the New Guard (read Trumpsters) and the Unionists (read Democrats).  There are also some Communists in the story but most of them are not really communists but are just accused of such by the New Guard, and looked at suspiciously by the Old Guard.

Coconut Madeleines inspired by Champagne Widows #WomenHistoryMonth

I am happy to be celebrating Women History Month with you.  Many of my blog posts have focused on women in food, in wine, in books and in films.  Today I am again honoring the women of history.  I am making a recipe that was written by Ina Garten, a well known female chef, in what was once a male dominated field.

I was inspired to make these delicious little cake/cookies after reading an historical fiction novel written by a female author, Rebecca Rosenberg, featuring the Women of Champagne who kept the wine flowing during the reign of Napoleon.
