Week 77 Recommended Read
Crash by Drew Jordan
Having packed her bags and decided on a trip to Alaska to see a childhood friend, Laney’s plane crashes, leaving her the sole survivor. Rescued by a man with no name, or none he’ll tell her, Laney can’t understand her reaction to the nameless man. His words and eyes terrify her, but his body makes hers beg for him.
Revealing that since he found her, he gets to keep her, Laney knows she need to plan her escape, but as the snow falls and layers the Alaskan countryside, Laney can’t deny that escape is moving farther from her mind each day.
Crash is the first of a trilogy and includes dark themes, detailed erotic scenes and is intended for a mature audience.
Week 77 Recipe
Easy Peasy Vanilla Cake
This recipe was originally named Depression Cake, but I think that is rather, well… depressing. It does come from the Great Depression though, a time when eggs, milk and butter were scarce. This simple recipe ensured it was possible to celebrate together at special occasions, without requiring more than the items in your pantry. Something, I think we could all use now.
In modern days, many use a buttercream icing for this moist cake, and I’ll admit, I do too. But it is just as wonderful with a glaze or powdered sugar dusting instead-keeping it vegan, and pantry friendly.
