Since I write m/g and YA, I limit to mostly fast type food, etc. But I do have scenes where the food is more elaborate such as a sweet sixteen birthday party, etc.<br /><br />Sadly, I really don't have time for the A-Z this year, but I will be buzzing by many of my favorite blogger pals...Michael Di Gesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047267262428143113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-35789611028231202632016-03-21T20:41:10.008-04:002016-03-21T20:41:10.008-04:00This is a good reminder Chrys.

I'm wondering if I have enough of those in my short story collection. In fact, in the netflix series House OF Cards, Robin Wright's character (claire) NEVER eats. It makes her somehow inhumanor robotic. So, maybe if your character is a cold, creepy psychopath, you wouldn't want to write about his eating as that would humanize him.Lisa Thomsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05310475781785711620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-17376069094731067932016-03-21T19:50:41.750-04:002016-03-21T19:50:41.750-04:00I've been a vegetarian for 8 years. :)

Then I fell in love with vegetarian menus. <br /><br />One thing I've enjoyed while writing my middle grade series based in Victorian England is researching the menus for the meals that my protagonist would have eaten -- and how to cook them! (There's a cook in the series, and she's always preparing meals, because it was an all day job in those days.)<br /><br />I've never participated in the A-Z challenge, but I'm always so impressed by those who do. Hats off. It seems a daunting challenge.Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-53058654486326558722016-03-21T18:40:54.853-04:002016-03-21T18:40:54.853-04:00I've always wanted to know how to make fresh p...I've always wanted to know how to make fresh pasta.
