Thirsty Thursday, Hungry Hearts #1 - The Big Chili


Food and books are the two greatest loves of my life; it's only natural that culinary cozies have a special place in my heart. Thirsty Thursday & Hungry Hearts is where I'll provide food or drink quotes from the books I'm reading.

Since my very first post was a book review of The Big Chili by Julia Buckley (see here), it's only natural that my first quote be from this pivotal scene (witnessed by the protagonist, Lilah Drake):

Alice took a big bite of chili. I hoped she hadn't let it get cold. "Pet's chili is delicious, as always – and I think you’ve added something new, haven’t you, Pet? Something sweet. It provides an interesting counterpoint to the flavor.” Pet shot a look at me and I shook my head. Nothing new in the chili. Alice took another bite and set the dish down. “Anyway, this officially starts our evening’s festivities; I hope that – oh my!” She swayed slightly before us, looking distressed. Her right hand flew to her forehead, her left to her abdomen. “I think that – something's wrong. With the chili.” 

Then she fell like a stone, and we heard her head hit the floor.

Stay tuned, because tomorrow, I'll share the recipe for the delicious, (non)deadly version of Pet's chili...

    1. Cozies are my guilty pleasure. As much as I love psychological suspense or a good hard-boiled detective, few things are as fun and relaxing as a good cozy (which is strange, considering all the murders and whatnot) ^^

      Thanks for replying!
