And here it is.\u00a0\u00a0 This is the place for comments to discuss what you’ve been speculating about, so it doesn’t step on the toes of those who don’t want any spoilers.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s absolutely the place to discuss what’s in the various snippets that will be popping out here and there between now and Crown<\/em>‘s Launch Day.<\/p>\n

If you hate spoilers and speculation that goes a shade too far, do not read beyond the “More” and do not read the comments.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If you want to argue about what Midwinter present was just brought into the tower, here’s the place.\u00a0 Have fun with it.\u00a0 But keep it under wraps right here.\u00a0\u00a0 I will not answer questions here that would be spoilers if I did answer them.\u00a0 (So don’t ask ME–take a wild guess if you must, but don’t ask me.)<\/p>\n

Now for something off-topic: what the writer does after finishing a hard bout of copy edit checking while sick and coughing her lungs out.\u00a0 Tomorrow will be a cooking day.\u00a0 I have an “economy pack” of stew meat, variously colored sweet peppers, mushrooms, celery, carrots, onions, garlic and I’m considering whether (since my largest Le Creuset pot won’t be big enough) this is sufficient excuse to buy a bigger one.\u00a0 Ideally this will start with a lot of sauteing and browning of meat on top of the stove, and end with everything and a quart of homemade beef stock and several large gluggles of red wine\u00a0 in a big pot in the oven for hours.\u00a0 And hours.\u00a0 And hours.<\/p>\n

I do have a bigger All-Clad stock pot I could use, but…although it goes in the oven…I really think the porcelain over cast iron does best for this kind of thing.\u00a0\u00a0 I suppose I could make a smaller batch…freeze the rest of the stew meat for another time…but the point is to make a big batch so I can freeze containers for later.\u00a0\u00a0 Some of the chicken stock I made earlier in the year was used up while I was sick (and it helped, so I need to make more) but with a big concert coming up, and son’s birthday,\u00a0 and Thanksgiving, I need to start making the “fast dinners” now, so I can start the T-day prep by the end of the first week in November.<\/p>\n
