Sherry was supposed to be taking questions about her win in the national cooking competition, but instead the callers start dishing dirt.Poppy and Sherry were both involved in the vegetable garden, and while Poppy may have been a bit priggish, it wasn’t anything that called for a shovel to the back of the head.

Now while Sherry’s organizing a Fourth of July cook-off event, she’s also got a murder investigation on her plate . . .Includes Recipes from Sherry’s Kitchen!

Ya had to use the word chard? It brings back memories of the first time my dad tried to BBQ on the back porch (also the first time I took over the grilling). His idea of cooking was to wait till it had a real CRUST on the burger. I showed him how it could be used as a hockey puck! I love the story line and hope I'm your winner so I can enjoy the book without having to wait for it to come into the local library.
ReplyDeleteHahaha that is funny. We used to have a grill but I don't care to grill. I can have everything done inside in the time it takes to grill outside since I have to do all the work anyway. Hubby's idea of 'done' is way more than charred, it is burned..
DeleteGood luck in the giveaway! Thanks for stopping by!
