GUEST BLOG FOR LIMECELLO

Posted on by

Hey everyone I am guest blogging for Limecello Wednesday. Even though she refuses to be my twitter friend Limecello is pretty awesome and is going to be helping raise money for our ovarian cancer charity. Please show up and support. This is the link but it won’t go live till midnight.  http://wp.me/p1g4Gc-12E

      • Elisabeth, This is totally off topic but I just had to tell you. I’m about half way through Deep Autumn Heat and last night I made my husband go get me a piece of coconut cake.(Which he did so he’s definitely getting lucky) Then a little while later I was telling him “I’m really craving crab cakes, where can we get some?” So he said “That’s it! No more reading books that have a food theme.” Hahaha! I’m loving the book so far by the way. ;)

        • Stephanie – that is awesome! I’m glad my book is making you hungry! Funny story – I had a few friends read my first manuscript. The most common question I got was, “Why is everyone eating all the time?” It was then I knew I had to write a book featuring chefs and food! Thus, the idea for Deep Autumn Heat was born!

    • I feel confident that our little discussion yesterday went unnoticed. I am so disappointed in RM, but so excited about my newly discovered knowledge. Is it proper to use “mamadas” referring to the noun? Thanks, Grettel. Be prepared– ZK and I are going to have more translation questions that will probably get us all in blog jail ;)

    • Grettel and ZK– it is 4:30am and I have been up for a little while so I have had plenty of time to think. RM was trying to gaslight me on the blog the other day (Grettel– just in case that phrase isn’t familiar, it means to try to make someone think they are crazy). I think if we continue to vaguely reference the tiny little hidden popi conversation, maybe we can drive him batty (crazy). :)

  7. I love that RM’s post about posting somewhere else already has 10 comments. There’s no place like home…..

      • Apparently, I suck at Twitter as well. I can’t figure it out, but I am RT’ing things but people can’t RT mine, or they email to say they can’t see me.

        Why can’t they make computers easier, I’m not technical. LOL

        I logged in with my wordpress account and that’show I finally got it to work.

          • I am not your coach, I broke you into the Twitterverse with your first tweet. After that, you’re all on your own.

            Fly little bug, fly. LOL

            P.S. You’re doing great with the tweets.

          • Is that what it is, Granny? I just set it up and clicked on the check marks as I went along.

            But LadyBug and RM and others see me.

            And people want me to join something called Linked? As if I need something else to learn. OYE!

          • Yeah, I have it locked, I just checked. I thought I had unlocked it last week, but now the check mark is back on there.

            One of the other authors set it up for me, and she did my background for it. I’m going to get her to explain a few things for me on that thing.

            I told you L.B. my friends would be shocked to learn that I actually showed you anything on the computer. LOL

            I want to go and change my blog background, etc. But I’m too scared I’m going to erase a bunch of stuff.

  13. As always, great job RM. for some reason , my avatar didn’t show up on Limecello ‘s blog. Oh well…. I didn’t want to say it for the world to see, but that clitoris thing sounded interesting…. :shock: I can say it here because I’m among my sisters! :oops:
    The only bad thing is that Limecello sounds very much like Lemoncello! love that drink!!! Sigh, it doesn’t love me back. :( .

    • Pat, I love lemoncello as well! I’m guessing you had some when you were in Italy?

      My sister sent me the recipe to make some, because the homemade stuff is delicious, but I can’t find the really big lemons needed to make it like hers.

        • RM, it is this Heavenly drink the y grieve you after dinner in Italy. It is kept stored in the freezer, and they serve it in little shot glasses which have also been kept in the freezer. It’s a digestive for after your dinner. You can make it yourself, the basic contents are lemon peels, and 100proof Vodka, or grain alcohol. Fearing blindness, my husb. used vodka.
          It is unbelievable, you SIP it, not down it like a shot. Sadly, none for me anymore. :-)

          • I just remembered the name of the lemons……Meyer! I bet RM can get them by the truckload in FLA.

          • I brought a bottle back from Italy, we still have it. Shows you how much drink here. LOL

            I’ve used it in grown-up lemonade, and also in lemon cake, when baking and it’s delicious.

            I’ve looked for those lemons up here, and there is none.

            When we were in Florida, I found some, but you can’t bring lemons back to Canada. I was too honest at the border, I told them I had them in my luggage when asked if I was bringing back any fruits or vegetables.

            I wonder, when we go to Florida, if I make the recipe there, if I can bring that back as part of my liquor allowance?

            Things to ponder.

  14. RM, the last poster gave me an idea.

    You could a monthly, Dear Romance Man column on your blog and have people ask you questions, like the one she just asked.

    Kind of like Dear Abby, with a cape crusader twist.

      • You could put a disclaimer in for every response. LOL

        BTW, all those supposed experts on TV aren’t qualified either. I don’t watch them, but have tuned in to one of them that my friends rave about.

        Dr. Oz. I think the only reason to watch his show is if someone has NOTHING to worry about. LOL

  15. HELP!! I’m checking to see if my gravitar shows up here. On “our” precious iPad it doesn’t, and I can’t log on! Are you trying to kick me to the curb RM :cry: ?

    Reply ↓

  16. Oh for Pete’s sake!!! It wasn’t there before!! Are you trying to drive crazy RM, cause it’s a very short drive!!!
    ok, however it got back, it’s back…. :roll:
    Thanks

  18. Hi, just wanted to say that over on Limecello, I think Gertrude is a plant. I didn’t want to say it over there in case she’s real, but I think somebody is makin’ somethin’ up :!:
    Fess up Diane :)

      • I’m usually the last to pick up on fishy stuff, but her post just sounds off. And the name, too, since thats such an old-fashioned name that some people might consider dorky.

        Reply ↓

        • I will say I found that she had a copy of 50 and a $50 around the house with hubby home rather convenient. RM handled it very nicely I thought but he will be irked at the person if they are truly a plant…at least I would

          Reply ↓

          • Naw, I took it all in good fun. Not if they came over to his home blog, but on that guest site, there will be all types.
            Maybe its not one of the BBLs playing a joke.

          • RM, thats why I brought it up, cuz you couldn’t. I’m wondering if that person comes over to this blog. Still waiting for some response over here from Gertrude.

      • Hi Diane, it looked like a joke you would do ya’ know? It would be funny as a joke, but I agree w Mcecck that it would be irksome if it showed up here. (my words not hers)

        Reply ↓

        • You know it made me think a few blogs ago – what was her name Karen – someone who wanted to sort of “test” RM to see what he would say – and then maybe jump on him later – but he handled it perfect…Did you get anymore Likes on FB today or spike in blog traffic?

          Reply ↓

          • Go check. And while your there read the nice little story I posted just for you!

        • I feel so stupid now, I thought it was for real, and was thinking this poor soul was trying to reach out to someone on the Internet.

          Goes along with my whole day from the time I woke up. Just one of those days.

          I went back to look and I see what you mean LG about the money. If I had seen that then I would have had doubts if it were real.

          Reply ↓

          • I went back too. I agree with y’all. If my husband saw a 50, he would just pull it out. And ask me why the hell am I using money as a book mark. Or just pocket it and not say anything

          • Selena, its your rose-colored glasses. I’m very naive and believe the best of everyone, but it just smelled fishy.

        • I really don’t know what I was trying to say in the previous post! But it’s true, Diane would have a much better story!!!

          Reply ↓

          • Thank you Pat. Thank you RM. Plus, I would find a way to insult him in any story I used. But I can unequivocally say that what you see is what you get when it comes to my posts. I would never make up a story or a fake identity. I want the credit! LOL! (Blog hog!)

    • When I read LGs comment that Gertrude seemed like a plant, my first reaction was “What? Someone is growing leaves?

      Ya know, I think I need more sleep. Or start drinking alcohol again. SIGH.

      • Hey, I’ve seen pictures of all the ladies of the BBl except Diane. Why is that? You could even put on the Sisterhood page so no one else could view it.

        Reply ↓

          • Friend me on FB and I’ll add you to the page. It is a closed group so anything and everything goes! It is not for the faint of heart!!

        • LG, it is important to me that my work life be separate from my blog life. I choose not to post any pictures on FB because it is too public and accessible, including the closed group because anyone can join there. I’m of Italian descent and I look Italian. And someday we will meet, I’m sure but you aren’t missing a beauty queen or anything!

          Reply ↓

          • Well I will have to think about that picture. I didn’t picture you as Italian. But it fits with your spicy personality!

          • Diane, I didn’t know you were a paisan :)

            Funny, I’m told I don’t look Italian, because of my freckles and my hair is more auburn than it is brown. My brothers convinced me when I was little that I was indeed adopted, because I didn’t look like anybody in the family, and they all have dark curly hair, and mine was blondish red, and those freckles and I was way taller than my parents. LOL

            Do you speak Italian?

          • No Selena. When my grandparents came to America around around the turn of the century, there was rampant prejudice against many of the immigrant groups. My 87 year old father remembers his mother taking him and his brother out for Easter outfits and being told Italians were greasy and couldn’t try on the hats. So my grandfather was adamant that his children were “Americans” and only English would be spoken. I am embarassingly only able to speak one language.

  20. Ladybug wants everyone to know that her internet connection is down and while she can get on FB at Panera’s, it wouldn’t let her on the blog. She implores us not to have fun without her. so the naked mud wrestling is off tonight. Instead, we will paint the walls of the blog mauve and then watch the paint dry.

  21. Great blog RM! I love contemporary romances too. I know that many people have most likely given you tons of recommendations on what to read, but I would like to recommend Robyn Carr’s Virgin River series. The first book is of course titled “Virgin River”. The series features ex-military heroes. Her characters have great depth and amazing stories that will keep you hooked. Each of her books in this series are equally awesome but my favorite one is Shelter Mountain. Just a suggestion. I guarantee you will not regret reading her books.

  22. Diane, I’m posting here, because I don’t know how to reply to your post above, there is no reply after your post.

    That is fascinating, because I’ve researching the interment camps but during and after WWII where Italian Americans were sent to. There is not a lot written about this, but I need information for one of my WIP’s. What I did find, was that a lot of the immigrants even changed their last name so they wouldn’t give away their heritage and didn’t allow their mother tongue to be spoken.

    There aren’t a lot of people that want to even talk about this, but I did interview a couple who gave me some information and showed me pictures that their grandparents kept.

    I was born here, but my parents having traveled Europe insisted we not only speak Italian, but we had to go to Saturday and Sunday School to learn how to write and read, and on top of that, they made us take other languages. I used to really be annoyed at this, when I was young, I wanted to play with my friends in the mornings. LOL However, I am grateful they pushed different languages on us, because it has helped me not only in school, but in my past career and when traveling.

    Never too late to learn, Diane. ;)
