Three Ingredients II – 18: Conclusion – Sweet Potato, Wimberries, Worcestershire Sauce

October 18, 2014

Welcome back everyone! Our previous chapter of this interactive culinary mystery was essentially part-1 of a 2-part finale. And yes — I heard the commotion when I left our three suspects of ill-doing hanging in midair (literally) and basically you along with them. I’m just wicked that way… I really can’t help myself. I sincerely … More Three Ingredients II – 18: Conclusion – Sweet Potato, Wimberries, Worcestershire Sauce

Three Ingredients II – 17: Spinach, Carrots, Yogurt

October 11, 2014

Horsefeathers! This took me by surprise. I didn’t know quite where the “ingredients” would take this story — until last evening. > Sheiks and Shebas, I have to tell you — this is the penultimate episode of Three Ingredients Cookbook-2, a Ghost in the Kitchen.  Sorry I didn’t add that subtitle sooner — it’s always been … More Three Ingredients II – 17: Spinach, Carrots, Yogurt

The ingredients for Episode-16 are from the astonishingly prolific Olga Núñez Miret at Just Olga.

Three Ingredients II – 15: Ribs, Watermelon, Corn

Three Ingredients II – 14: Chickpeas, Curry, Coconut Milk

September 21, 2014

Pete & Repeat Two chickpeas, Pete and Repeat were in a pod-boat. Pete fell overboard. What was left? “Repeat!” you say?  Well, alright then… Pete and Repeat were in a boat— Okay, I’m just being silly. I would have done something with “Lather, rinse and repeat” but I couldn’t come up with anything.  It took … More Three Ingredients II – 14: Chickpeas, Curry, Coconut Milk

Three Ingredients II – 13: Chickpeas, Winkles, Rice Pudding

September 6, 2014

One of the ingredients for Episode-11, red currants, caused me to add a merman to our serial.  Later I had the thought that Andrea Stephenson might like that character. You see, she has written about mythical water beings like selkies. So I am very pleased to tell you that the ingredients for this episode are from the marvelous magical … More Three Ingredients II – 13: Chickpeas, Winkles, Rice Pudding

Three Ingredients II – 12: Lentils, Cumin, Roast Lamb

August 30, 2014

Sanctuary The first time I remember hearing the word I was a small child watching a very old black and white film of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” and it had a lasting effect on me.  Not just the movie, but the word — sanctuary, the sound of it, the meaning and the concept.  Sanctuary … More Three Ingredients II – 12: Lentils, Cumin, Roast Lamb

Three Ingredients II – 11: Red Currants, Baked Beans, Polish Sausage

August 23, 2014

Am I in an odd “place” or is it just the weather? The moon? Solar flares maybe? Could it be this week’s ghostly ingredient from the Jar of Spooky Things? I can’t define it — this odd mood, so I may as well just roll with it.  However, be warned that it might make this episode of … More Three Ingredients II – 11: Red Currants, Baked Beans, Polish Sausage

Three Ingredients II – 10: Strawberries, Avocados, Lobster

August 17, 2014

Thanks for coming back to another episode of our interactive culinary mystery serial.  The “ingredients” all of you send help make sure the story includes a multiplicity of ideas.  However, the cupboards are bare again.  Everyone is welcome to leave three food-related things in the comments. That’s what drives this pantser story — your varied ingredients. Variety … More Three Ingredients II – 10: Strawberries, Avocados, Lobster

Three Ingredients II – 9: Chanterelle Mushrooms, Gin, Trifle

August 9, 2014

Hello everyone — I’m so glad to see you again! At the end of Episode-7 Andy’s fate was unknown. Whether by design or by accident, the ghost-riders had taken him away. Then last weekend Maestro Martino sacrificed something important to him, without knowing whether or not it would return Pip’s friend. However, that segment ended … More Three Ingredients II – 9: Chanterelle Mushrooms, Gin, Trifle

Three Ingredients II – 8: Lettuce, Shrimp, Hot Peppers

August 2, 2014

The other day I sent Pip to give everyone a “heads-up” that I wasn’t sure I could do this weekend’s episode… due to the unfortunate combination of my clumsiness and lots of stairs inside and particularly (the culprits in my misadventure) outside my home… The story nagged at me though, so I’ll try to provide … More Three Ingredients II – 8: Lettuce, Shrimp, Hot Peppers

Three Ingredients II – 7: Baby Bok Choy, Barbecue Sauce, Aluminum Foil

July 26, 2014

Isn’t it just the berries when with no planning at all, things just come together? Everything about our 1920’s serial is unplanned “panster” fun — even the timing of when you all send ingredients.  So I was tickled when I learned that the next set of ingredients coincided with something important for the reader who is featured … More Three Ingredients II – 7: Baby Bok Choy, Barbecue Sauce, Aluminum Foil

Three Ingredients II – 6: Turnips, Onions, Sauerkraut

July 19, 2014

Welcome back everyone! I’m pleased to tell you that today’s ingredients were sent by a reader who hasn’t always been with us here at Teagan’s Books — Jo Robinson. Jo lives in beautiful South Africa, and has written quite a remarkable collection of stories.  She has a wonderful imagination.  For instance in her novel “The Shadow People, The … More Three Ingredients II – 6: Turnips, Onions, Sauerkraut

Three Ingredients II – 5: Apricots, Eggs, Wheat Flour

July 12, 2014

Recently Siobhan took up the torch and continued the “Meet My Main Character” blog tour.  (Thanks again Siobhan!)  She also gave us the ingredients for this week’s episode of our interactive culinary mystery. I can’t believe we’re already at Episode-5.  By now, several of the characters from the previous serial have made appearances.  New readers, … More Three Ingredients II – 5: Apricots, Eggs, Wheat Flour

July 5, 2014

Welcome back to the 1920’s everyone.  Since we last met my country had a birthday.  Hopefully all of you in the USA had a fun Independence Day.  Wherever you are I hope life is just the berries for you! Today’s “ingredients” come to you from the Land of Enchantment (that’s New Mexico) via RC, my inspiring friend. … More Three Ingredients II – 4: Ice, Squash, Goat’s Milk

Cookbook-2 Begins! Cherries, Mascarpone, Marsala

June 14, 2014

Hello and welcome back! I can’t tell you how happy I am that you’ve been patient during the past couple of weeks, while I got ready for Cookbook-2 of our Three Ingredients Serial.   The first set of “ingredients” for Cookbook-2 came from Evelyne Holingue. I guess they’re leftovers,  because I’ve been hanging onto them.  Evelyne sent them just before the … More Cookbook-2 Begins! Cherries, Mascarpone, Marsala
