Teaser Tuesday asks readers to:
- Grab your current read.
- Let the book fall open to a random page.
- Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
- You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given.
My teasers are:
There are always two possible strategies in preparing a meal for the French.
One was novelty. I could present the family with something so exotic that sheer strangeness would keep them interested. I’d done this a few times when I first cooked in France. At various times, dinner guests had been treated to Indian curries, Thai shrimp salad, and Mexican chicken with bitter chocolate mole sauce. We had once – not an experience to be repeated – even taken them to an Australian restaurant that served kangaroo.

This sounds scrumptous! Welcome back!
Mmm, I’m a fan of mole sauce, though without the chicken! (I’m a vegetarian.)
Love the look of your blog!
