Welcome to Litsy!

I cannot pinpoint why this was a so-so for me. I have really enjoyed the books in this series prior to this one. Bruno is quite human in this one- deceived by appearances or hormones as he says; some jealousy over Pamela. The same good food & wine- the plot did not draw me in. Read 2 hours yesterday Maybe just my mood? #AwesomeApril #readathon

Relaxing on a Friday afternoon. My spring vacation has officially started! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🎉🎉💃💃🌸🌼🌺

4.5⭐ I highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys watching character develop book after book. Bruno is a police chief in a small village in France. His hero of the war may be not what he seems. The story has a little of everything, love, food, wine, friendship, mystery. Recommend @TheSpineView #SeriesRead

I pouted about having to read the 10th book in a series (that I've not read before) for virtual foodie book club but I did end up enjoying French Police Chief Bruno & his love of good food & I would go back & try the first book. My copy went back to the library before I made my book-inspired dish to pose it with but Ina's Salmon Nicoise Platter is so good & so pretty on the plate, I had to show it off. 😋🍽 Review & recipe are on the blog-link👇🏻

Today's dinner $ #soupersundays blog post is my recipe for Three Bean Vegetarian Chili with Homemade Soy Chorizo Crumbles. The chili is vegan-the cheese & yogurt cheese on top not so much.😆But it tastes smoky & meaty & is one of the best chilis I've ever made. I love when experiments turn out. Although I did some #audiosouping to make it, I'm trying to get through the second half of this book before it goes back to the library.🍲📚Recipe link👇🏻

Breakfast with a food wind, errands are run, SBUX busted, a few chores are done & I'm finally ready to settle in & try to take a chunk out of this book for virtual foodie bookclub--but first a Tim Tam Slam may have just happened with my Caramel Macchiato for an afternoon treat. (And now I am wearing part of my drink on my shirt--I think I've lost my form!) ☕️🍪🍫😋

#TuneIntoNovember #YouKnowImNoGood You know I'm no good at getting my book club picks read early & now I must read this book this weekend as it goes back to the library Tuesday & there's a hold on it-so no renewals.🙁I'm only 20 pages in from last week.😬I think my main problem is that I'm angry at it for being 8th in a series I've not read & you know I'm no good at reading series books out of order. Max has no sympathy-he's napping😸#catsoflitsy

Tonight's low-effort dinner is a quickly assembled poke bowl with jasmine rice, store-bought ahi poke, sliced cucumber, garlic-pepper fried onions & Sriracha-garlic aioli that I was too lazy to put in the squeeze bottle & drizzle. There should be something green there besides cucumbers-but I didn't feel like turning on the stove to sauté spinach.??Yum! Trying to start this book for my virtual foodie bookclub-it's due at the end of this month.?
