This year I enjoyed so many fresh fruits and vegetables: oranges, snap peas, lime, onions, potato, black olives, tomato, raspberries, avocado, black beans, strawberries, mushrooms, and apples.
I used a lot of basil and cumin. I enjoyed tandy and jammy flavors.
I appreciated salt and water and one particularly delicious bottle of water enjoyed in Venice.
From the farmer's market we had a desssert of raspberry brandy on ice cream with fresh berries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries --perfection.
It was the year of enjoying Bayside Cafe where we had the soy curl wrap often and a death by chocolate cupcake.
And the stand out of the year Kir Royale in Paris.
Why it springs to mind: You'll never look at an ice cube the same way again. Where read: In the 2014 Hugo award-winning Lightspeed Magazine , August. Length: 5,194 words Summary: A woman has an ice cube for a soul. Memorable: How the story invites us to think about the shape of our soul, how it (or our perception of it) influences us and how it changes. What ordinary every day object would your soul be? A silver spoon, a beech stick? A great party conversation starter, this. Quote: “All life is an experiment." Notable: The protagonist Rina is an avid reader (always a good choice). Pairs well with: T.S. Elliot, Edna St. Vincent Millay Origin: The story was written in 24 hours based on a writing prompt. (See Author Spotlight: Ken Liu ) About the author: Ken Liu’s debut novel, The Grace of Kings , the first in a fantasy series The Dandelion Dynasty, is due out from Saga Press ( a new Simon & Schuster imprint ) in 2015.
