Books and a Meal

Think about all the books you have read and how many had meals/recipes in them, and a character whipped up some delicious meal, or maybe a not so delicious meal (Donnor Party). 
Now you are probably thinking or as your mind wanders off --- I can think of tons of recipes I have read. Well, stop right there. Cookbooks don't count. I know, but trust me it is much more fun this way. Plus, any meal counts. Be creative and mischievous as you revisit and seek the characters that splayed their platters of food Your meals. Or, a recipe you want to share can come from any genre --- kids to biz books.
Just list the title, the character you want to credit for the meal and the title of the book. 
I would say about five to ten would be fun to share. Get set. Get ready. Go. 

Drop an email that you can share. Maybe if we get recipes, we can make a book. With all the entries.

Here are five meals and more to come:
  • Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel — Champandongo, a layered dish of meat, vegetables, nuts and mole
  • The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd — Green beans, turnips, macaroni and cheese Funeral food
  • Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg — Green Fried Tomatoes and so much more
  • Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss — What else is there?
  • Alien by Alan Dean Foster — Spaghetti with meatballs

That’s it for now, but there are more and it is fun to think about them.

Have fun and send in your thoughts. As creative a meal from a book, or as standard with a meaning attached.

Thanks for taking the time to read LOVE YOUR WORLD: Friends dwelling in Possibilities
