I’ve been making great progress on the Crime Writers’ Association Dagger Awards longlist. I’ve worked my way through four categories – Whodunit, Twisted, Crime Fiction in Translation, and the Golden Dagger – and am finishing cup a fifth category…
Once done, I’ll start on the First Novel longlist…
And then, time permitting, try to get the Historical longlist titles under my belt.
The shortlist nominees won’t be announced until May 29th, so I may even have the opportunity to check out the Emerging Author and Short Stories categories!
This is the 3rd floor of our building which I’m not calling The Murder Hall.
Well, look who it is, backlight and all. It’s director and former Dark Matter stunt coordinator John Stead. We got together for our semi-regular grouse session and enjoyed some schnitzel, a smashburger, fried olives, and this cheesiest of cheese pizzas…
Great catch-up with my favorite director.
This week, the weather was finally warm (and nice) enough for us to pay a return visit to our favorite pasta place in Toronto, Tiny Market. Owners Erich & Danielle welcomed Sharky back from his winter hibernation and we sat down to our usual multi-pasta lunch. On the menu on this day…
Casarelle All’Amatriciana: Tomato sugo, Guanciale, Pecorino, Parm, Black Pepper, Olive oil.
Casarelle Alla Vodka: Vodka sauce, Capers, Parsley, Toasted Buckwheat, Black Pepper, Parm, Pecorino.
Parsnip, Gorgonzola & Miso Girasole: Mascarpone & Anchovy sauce, Oregano, Toasted Pine Nut, Black Pepper, EVOO, Meyer Lemon Zest.
Their pasta is always perfectly al dente. And delicious.
