Her copy of Drums of Autumn (in the picture) looks just my beat up, old, much read book! Actually all my paperback copies look like that

Greetings Diana!

Have you tried the Cornish Pasty shop on Dobson and Guadalupe (Mesa/Tempe border)? There are pictures on the wall of Cornish miners and you can have a seat at the bar (behind a glass of cider) and watch the pastys being made. Try the Oggie (traditional), Pepper Steak (with stilton cheese and leeks) and the Salmon (exquisite).
I moved East last year and oh, how I miss those pastys!

Hope you enjoy and thank you for your wonderful tale!

Dr. Gabaldon:
I have recently found your books and am on the second in the series. I am obssessed! Your talent is such that I can feel Jamie and Claire even when I’m not reading. I also want you to know that I often think while I’m reading that you must be well loved indeed to create the bond between the characters…that is to say, an imagination can only take one so far. Drawing on experiences brings it all vibrantly alive.
Thank you for very entertaining and thoughtful evenings!

Every culture has a small “hotpocket” type meal, that the farmer can carry into the field with him for his mid-day meal. They all look much alike, and are filled with what ever is to hand…”What Momma had left over from last night…lol.”

I had my first pasty while visiting my mom in Marquette! I found a recipe for them; my brother made them, and said they tasted just like what he’d tasted in the U.P. I ought to try it myself…could maybe leave out the veggies (except for onion) to come close to Brianna’s Bridie without using the recipe Theresa provides in the link.

These look SO good!

And my oldest copy of Drums looks *just* like that! Chunks of pages falling out all over the place…Husband was a love and bought me new copies of all of them one Christmas, but I can’t bring myself to get rid of my original beloved paperbacks. *sigh*
