I woke up this morning to find an earthworm in my shower. GROSS! You know that’s how horror movies start. It’s always something strange, but not all that scary nor threatening. Then it turns into a house filled with worms trying to eat your brains! Or would they try to take over your body? I’m not sure exactly what horror movie earthworms would do. In the garden they are absolutely fantastic. I just can’t see how they can turn evil. Well, I for one am not going to let the horror movie start. Normally the main character would ignore the strange occurrence and go on with their day. I will not ignore it. I am going to dwell on it all day long. I am going to annoy whatever possible evil might be lurking so that they get frustrated and leave.

Lean Mean Cleaning Machine
Look, I’m not one to make a big fuss about nothing, but this last week has been too eventful to ignore. Not only was I kicked out of my own home, I was also attacked — yes, attacked, I tell you — on no less than two separate occasions. First there was the big vacuum cleaner scare, and then there was what I like to call ‘the Roomba incident,’ as it involved one of those terrible robotic vacuums. Of course we fought back, on both occasions, I might add, and for a moment we thought we’d snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. But that was before Odelia brought in the big guns, in the form of the Trainor sisters, Blanche and Bella. Cleaning ladies by profession, and cat haters by vocation. Their philosophy is that cats don’t belong in the home, and so they locked our respective pet flaps — and started the war.
And it wasn’t as if I didn’t have other things to worry about. There was Uncle Alec, being the center of some vile gossip campaign, and there was the spate of burglaries terrorizing our small and otherwise peaceful town. But it’s hard to focus on fighting crime when you’re dealing with a pair of cat-hating cleaning ladies, wouldn’t you agree? And did I mention that they locked our pet flaps? Of all the dastardly, horrible, monstrous… But let’s not dwell on the negatives. There are plenty of positives in this new chronicle of my adventures, too. So please do read on, for a furry good time!

Genre: Fantasy | Teen & Young Adult
FREE for a limited time
Vardon knows why Lorelei dreams of the sea. But how do you tell the girl you like she’s not human?
Water Rites is the first book in a modern-day fantasy trilogy, where there’s more to sea storms and the ocean’s depths than we mere human mortals understand. Where the legends live on, some of them hiding in plain sight, in your town and mine.
Between school, swim team, gossipy friends, and cleaning cages at her dad’s veterinary clinic, Lorelei doesn’t have time to worry too much about the odd dreams that haunt her sleep most nights. She considers herself about as normal as a girl can be, in her circumstances. Her mom left when she was six, but Dad did his best to make up for it with small-town stability.
Her biggest worries are AP Calculus tests and whether her team will make the state swimming championships. Oh, and the boy who offered study help, with a certain expression in his eyes that said it wasn’t about studying at all.
Life is good.
Until she finds out what she is.
That revelation is thanks to the boy with the hungry eyes. The only one she can trust now.
And then there’s the stranger, the shadow who seems to be everywhere Lorelei is. Even in her mind and dreams.
Her identity turned upside down, Lorelei must find the will and the way to understand herself, and her world, once again. But the surprises show no sign of slowing yet…

Cast Iron for Two: 50 Healthy Two-Serving Cast Iron Recipes (Cooking Two Ways)
by Louise Davidson
(32 Reviews)
Genre: Cookbooks, Food & Wine
FREE for a limited time
Cooking for two can be challenging, but with a cast iron skillet, you can prepare healthy meals in no time!
Make cooking for two fun and delicious with these 50 creative and memorable recipes for two-servings designed for cast iron cookware.
Download FREE with Kindle Unlimited
The cast iron skillet is a perfect cooking companion for a household of two. And as it’s also one of the sturdiest of man’s kitchen inventions, the one you have now could be with you through your whole life and hand down to your children!
With cast iron’s strong heat retention and ability to distribute this heat evenly, you get ultimate flavors. It’s healthier, too: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet has a protective film that makes it naturally non-stick, which means you’ll need less oil to prepare your dishes. It does without the chemical linings used on modern non-stick pans and can supply the iron you need, without reaching dangerous levels.
You can sauté, sear, braise, fry, and bake in a cast iron skillet. Your cast iron pan can actually take the place of a Dutch oven, clay pot, baking pan or casserole dish. It’s especially convenient because you can go from the stovetop to the oven without needing a separate frying pan or saucepan and a baking pan. That will save you time and reduce cleanup afterward.
Inside, you’ll find 50 healthy and delicious two-serving recipes for all the meals of a day:
Breakfast, snacks, sides & appetizers recipes such as the Garlic-Pepperoni Knots and the Unsweetened Skillet Cornbread
Bountiful chicken and poultry recipes such as the Honey-Dijon Chicken with Brussels Sprouts and the Cornish Hens with Apples
Wholesome beef, pork, lamb, & veal recipes like the Skillet Beef Burrito and the Thai-Style Pork Chops
Traditional pasta recipes like the Baked Pasta with Parmesan Cream and the Chicken Alfredo Pasta
Satisfying seafood recipes such as the Spicy Shrimp with White Beans and Tomatoes and the Easy Paella
Tasty vegetarian recipes like the Moussaka with Mushrooms and Zucchini and the Eggplant, Chickpeas and Spinach Curry
All recipes come with a detailed list of ingredients, cooking and preparation times, number of servings, easy to follow step-by-step instructions, and nutritional information per serving.
