Old Dead Seagull Cranberry Jam

About the Book

From the rugged coast of Downeast Maine to a quiet island in the Chesapeake Bay, from the tiny town of Talkeetna at Mt. McKinley's base to a packed classroom in the depths of the Mekong Delta, this memoir plays hopscotch all over the world. Intertwined through one hundred stories are thirty easy gourmet recipes such as: Lady Baltimore Cake, caviar pie, Maryland blue crabs, Pho Ga, Crepes Suzettes, Miss Spoonbread's spoonbread, and steamed mussels. Menus for a Maine lobster dinner, a picnic on the beach, breakfast in bed, a wine tasting party, a very special birthday, and more are included.

About the Author

A member of the BladerBabes, not to be confused with that other group with two d’s, the author hasn’t gone splat on the pavement in several years, knock on wood. She lives with her lovey (her husband of thirty years), a very sweet but not-too-bright black lab, and an upstart coon hound on a small island near the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. Every summer they escape to a tiny coastal village in Maine with their son and three daughters.
