How could we possibly resist? It's a natural progression from our other weblog and website, after all... resistance being futile (and not being the resisting sort), here we are.
WELCOME to our rest stop (or final resting place?) for meanderings about mystery novels that have a confectionery connection -- by main story, or by character predilections or back-story, or by the simple fact of having some sort of confection tossed into them -- also for discussion of literature in general, films, music, photography, design, printing and publishing, tea, travel, jeepers ANYthing that could in any way be tangentially or directly associated with mysteries or confections.
Thank you for coming over!
For starters, please allow me to introduce myself and my best friend and 'blogging companion: I am Trixie (so named by one totally-famous writer James Norwood Pratt of San Francisco and the universe), and my pal is Dustin, and we love few things in life more than a good read, good tea, and a really good piece of something sweet to chew on.
In the coming posts we shall regale you with such tales as the ongoing real-life mystery of the Glico-Morinaga Kidnapping (Tokyo 1984, still unsolved), a character study of the granddaughter-confectioner in Shohei Imamura's film Warm Water Under a Red Bridge, Dustin's gleeful review of Katharine Weber's 2010 masterpiece True Confections, compare-&-contrasts of mystery novel how-to guides, and, without a doubt, confectionery musings of the highest order.
As we pull out our press passes to attend chocolate tastings, tea conferences, mystery festivals, and more, we look forward to your presence and participation back here in blogland. Onward!
~ Sweets to the sweet, Trix
p.s. The image above is of a Chocolate Mikasa, a simple, elegant, playful chocolate-inside-and-out version of the classic Japanese tea sweet called a dorayaki made by Minamoto Kitchoan -- about which you can read more here... it's a confection, it goes with tea, and we eat them while reading and writing mysteries... need I say more?
