The House in the Pines - Ana Reyes

Image
Muddled, poorly structured and cliché driven debut novel with nice cover art. The main premise of this thriller is introduced to the reader in the last half of this book. If the premise had been introduced in the first half of the book, the author could have made a case for it.  And, how many modern thrillers depend on the trope of a drug or alcohol impaired main character or narrator?  Too many, The Girl on the Train, the Woman in the Window, etc.  Make it stop.

Copycat Carbone Spicy Rigatoni

I based my variations on Copycat Carbone Spicy Rigatoni by Delish. So the recipe below is a a little healthied-up copycat of a copycat. This recipe yields two servings based on the 4 servings from the original recipe.  #spicyrigatoni Ingredients: 3 Tbsp. Vegan Butter   2   1/2   Cups or one package Trader Joe’s chopped white onions 2 cloves garlic, minced or 2 Dorot garlic cubes 2 Tbsp. crushed Calabrian chiles in oil, to taste. To make it milder, use less chiles. 1  (6-oz.) can organic tomato paste 1  (7-oz.) can whole tomatoes 1/4   c.  vodka. To substitute for the vodka, use ¼ of water with a splash of apple cider vinegar and lime. 3-4 cups of creamy goat cheese in place of 1   cup of heavy cream, use less goat cheese if need be. Natural sea salt 2 cups of Trader Joe’s gluten free brown rice penne or gluten-free rigatoni Grated freshly grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano Water Directions: 1.      In a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, melt vega
