I do have a question--what is "monarda butter," which was mentioned in "The Brutal telling."Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091529002379651743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-34788825671650989512009-02-09T15:27:00.000-08:002009-02-09T15:27:00.000-08:00Dear Donna,That's great - you are relentless in yo...Dear Donna,<BR/><BR/>That's great - you are relentless in your research! I admire that. Now you must come to Quebec and try our tim Horton's double double, poitine, our croissants - and just wait until this Quebec City book comes out. We'll have to organize a culinary Gamache tour of Quebec.Louise Penny Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10316557270587688970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-28901482882717985502009-02-09T15:23:00.000-08:002009-02-09T15:23:00.000-08:00Dear Jovanna<Yay - I just LOVE hearing that you...Dear Jovanna<<BR/><BR/>Yay - I just LOVE hearing that you think A RULE AGAINST MURDER is the best yet!

Thank you. Actually, I think I'll go to the CBC website and find it.Louise Penny Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10316557270587688970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-1618487794865593582009-02-09T15:20:00.000-08:002009-02-09T15:20:00.000-08:00Dear Bobbie<Thank you!

Went to a small candy store this weekend and they had a display box of them - all black though - no candy flame. The display box was all in French so I bet they were made in Canada. Quite good - the licorice was different than the American "twizzlers". Now if Gamache eats one again I will be able to relate!

This recognition is well...Congratulations, Louise! This recognition is well-deserved and overdue. You know, it was through a mention in the NYT that I discovered Three Pines and Gamache. There was a blurb about A Fatal Grace one Sunday and I sought it out. It was love and first read. May there be many more great reviews in yours and the Chief Inspector's future. <BR/><BR/>BTW, I'm now halfway through A Rule Against Murder and it is the best one yet.

I wonder if you heard Michael Enright on CBC this morning talking to the great(great?)granddaughter of Charles Darwin about her book about his life in poetry. The discussion about the role of poetry in delving into the areas of life that are most difficult to deal with in words made me think of you. As a non-poetry fan, I was quite moved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-518670085189390332009-02-08T08:12:00.000-08:002009-02-08T08:12:00.000-08:00YAY!!!

Said so well, by an important reviewer; and this important review in the NYT's Book Section will be read by many readers who might not know of you yet...though of course that seems impossible. :-)<BR/><BR/>Soooo glad for you, and for the readers who will find you now, more and more and more. :-)<BR/><BR/>And a month-long rental sounds wonderful in that place you are staying--a great base, as you say. May it find many good renters.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy being with the dignitaries at the Chateau Frontenac celebration of carnival's race, and again...Yay Louise! :-)<BR/><BR/>Best wishes to you and yours,<BR/>BobbieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
