    Beef Consomme from DIA We had reached the second course without incident, and I was beginning to relax slightly, though my hand still had a tendency to tremble over the consommé. “How perfectly fascinating!”  I said, in response to a story of the younger Monsieur Duverney’s, to which I wasn’t listening, my ears being tuned for any suspicious noises abovestairs.  “Do tell me more.” I caught Magnus’s eye as he served the Comte St. Germain, seated across from me, and beamed congratulations at him as well as I could with a mouthful of fish.  Too well trained to smile in public, he inclined his head a respectful quarter-inch and went on with the service.  My hand went to the crystal at my neck, and I stroked it ostentatiously as the Comte, with no sign of perturbation on his saturnine features, dug into the trout with almonds.

    Can you believe it?  Outlander Kitchen turns 1 year old today!

    I can believe it.  This blog is a labour of love for me, and it’s also a lot of work.  But in the past 12 months, because of OK, I’ve met – online and in-person – a whole new group of friends, many of whom I talk to everyday.  Earlier this month, I traveled to Niagara Falls to meet a dozen of the 70+ women in an online Outlander book club that I joined just after launching OK.

    And then just 1 week later, I found myself getting a big ol’ hug from Diana Herself at a book signing at the Surrey International Writers’ Conference. 

    Besides giving me a big hug, Diana was also generous enough to sign a couple of Outlander Kitchen souvenirs for me.  ‘Cause there’s nothing like a giveaway to really celebrate a Blogiversary, right?

    So come on over to OutlanderKitchen.com and enter to win!  There are 3 ways to enter, so you can increase your chances!  Enter here.

    The Comte St. Germain’s Poison “Drink, Monsieur,” said the King.  The dark eyes were hooded once more, showing nothing.  “Or are you afraid?” The Comte might have a number of things to his discredit, but cowardice wasn’t one of them.  His face was pale and set, but he met the King’s eyes squarely, with a slight smile. “No, Majesty,” he said. He took the cup from my hand and drained it, his eyes fixed on mine.  They stayed fixed, staring into my face, even as they glazed with the knowledge of death.  The White Lady may turn a man’s nature to good, or to destruction. The Comte’s body hit the floor, writhing, and a chorus of shouts and cries rose from the hooded watchers, drowning any sound he might have made.  His heels drummed briefly, silent on the flowered carpet; his body arched, then subsided into limpness.  The snake, thoroughly disgruntled, struggled free of the disordered folds of white satin and slithered rapidly away, heading for the sanctuary of Louis’s feet. All was pandemonium. Diana Gabaldon, Dragonfly in Amber (Chapter 27 – An Audience with His Majesty)
