Welcome from the town of Southlea Bay!
Today - Armchair Traveling
Doris and her brood are cooking up a storm as they collect recipes to try out for the brand new Southlea Bay Cookbook Companion to pair with recipes mentioned in the book series. Here are some of the recipes
Doris's Famous Celebrating Rejection Lemon Cake
Rejection Can Be Delicious!
“She pulled out a large tablecloth and tucked it firmly into the top of my blouse…It was lime-green and decorated with hideous orange and brown flowers. In one hand, I held high the teacup, and in the other I balanced the huge slab of (lemon) cake. I looked like a psychedelic Lady Justice, except right then I actually envied the fact she was blind.” - The Rejected Writers' Book Club
Or if lemon isn't your thing!

Doris's Crying into the Chocolate Acceptance Cake
Accepting the things I cannot change with Chocolate!
“I swallowed another rather large lump of (chocolate) cake. “who is (the letter) from? I asked meekly, not taking my eyes from it. I was too frightened to pick it up in case it self-destructed…(Doris grunted) Well, why don't you read it? “Now I have to go and buy myself a hat!”… “Yes a hat and a funky scarf and snazzy glasses. All good authors wear snazzy glasses. Well I won’t do it. I look ridiculous in a hat!” - The Rejected Writers' Book Club

So, after a day sweating over the stove I have a nice treat for you all, Over the next few weeks the residents of Southlea Bay will be connecting up on the "World Wide Web" with Blondie in the Water and paring great recipes to go with Blondies own web tour through all the islands that are featured in her book "Shattering Time." http://amzn.to/2p2tePi
Today's stop is at the wonderful British Virgin Isles and Smugglers Cove.
Owww Pretty!!!
This would be me if I was there - with this body!
