Welcome to Hidebound Hump Day, my chuckaboos! If you are looking for the latest installment of the #Steampunk fantasy, “The Delta Pearl,” click here for Chapter 2 – Fret.
Most of you weren’t too excited about the “cock-a-leekie soup” that turned up in the last episode. However, several were downright enthuzimuzzy! At least one reader asked for a recipe. With that in mind, I’m doing a post with recipes of some Victorian foods you might find on the menu in the Delta Pearl’s dining room. All aboard!
Bacon-Egg Cups
Cock-a-leekie Soup
Fried Fillets of Sole

Brown Bread Ice Cream
Thanks for visiting. I’ll be waiting for you at the riverboat’s dock this weekend.

It’s good to see you, Rob. I love it too. That’s the down side of living in the desert. It’s hard to get good seafood — or really good produce. At least not good by southeast standards.
We had a real gully washer here this afternoon. I had legitimate concerns that my house might get flooded. Thankfully the water stopped a few feet away from my front door. Climate change…

Thanks Teagan. There is so much going on right in the states right now. I am desperate to get back to my writers mind. I forget that you live in the desert. So you got an unusual amount of rainfall?
