Verjuice is one of those special secrets of cooking. Having grown up in Adelaide, Australia I was blessed with regular visits to the Barossa Valley vineyards and first discovered Verjuice for sale at one of the many winery cellar doors. Since then I have worked on incorporating it into my cooking as much as possible. I use Verjuice in many different ways and have found that it works just as well in sweet desserts as in savoury foods. Featuring twenty recipes from entrée to dessert all using verjuice as the main ingredient.

Perfect for readers of any age who want an exciting dragon story with lots of twists and surprises.Book Club Discussion Questions Included! Read an Excerpt: "What's the kraamlok?" asked Tondoor. Elder Mala had used that word.Kalooka steered him to the next picture on the cliff wall. "Look."This time the hazy colors showed an ice rock monster with furious red eyes, fiery orange fangs and two trailing, burning tails. Kalooka's voice quavered. "I was a hatchling when the seer made the prophecy. I'll never forget it." Her eyes misted like the pictures on the cliff. "It comes, it comes, the kraamlok comes!" she recited in an eerie chant. "With claws of ice it sweeps the stars; with fangs of night it hunts us. Wreathed in flame it falls, and rock shall flow like water at its falling. For it comes, it comes-""Stop!" shouted Tondoor. "Stop!" In the waning light, it seemed the seer himself was proclaiming doom from his image on the rock."I know," Kalooka whispered. "That's exactly how I felt. How we all felt.""Is the kraamlok still coming?" Tondoor asked in a tiny voice. He didn't dare look at the next picture.Kalooka wrapped her wing around his trembling ones. "You tell us, little seer. It's up to Morwaka-and, according to Elder Mala, up to you. I told you elders don't understand what seers do."

DISCOVERING LIFE PURPOSE-AN ELUSIVE AND UNCERTAIN JOURNEY. Discovering your life purpose is often an elusive and uncertain journey. I believe there are people who live most of their life and never discover their purpose. I continuously ask myself what is the meaning behind the adversity I often face; and, why do bad things have to happen to me? The more I looked for meaning and answers it seemed the more trouble I found. In spite of the trouble I found, I was always resilient to bounce back. I would take the lemon and make lemonade and stones cast at me became stepping stones that escalated me high above my enemies. This was all part of God's plan for my life. My purpose was to experience sorrow, suffering, and pain so that I could know without a shadow of a doubt that it was God alone that would deliver me. It was through these trials that I found my purpose and meaning of life in service to God and the world. THE SHAPING OF A LOVE STORY. Pastor Maxine discusses her personal life experiences as eyewitness accounts of how her bio-psychosocial, spiritual, and political formation steeped in trauma propelled her into a career of helping relationships as a Pastoral Counselor. Her story about scars is how an epigenetic view of traumatic experiences can shape a love story that leads to the discovery of life purpose and meaning. Understanding and embracing life's most challenging experiences make the difference between resilience and despair. Jesus' life as narrated in the bible is the epitome of a life lived in shame and suffering. Yet, He gave His life as a ransom for many that others could live life and live it more abundantly. This is the story of my life purpose and destiny. If I can help somebody along the way, then I will know my living was not in vain. - Pastor Maxine
This homage to Edgar Allan Poe and his masterful short story, "The Masque of the Red Death", definitely has all the imagery down pat! From the ravens, to the ruined castle, to the utterly macabre animated corpses, to the addled Professor Fichtenburg, the visuals are strong and eminently suited to the genre. It is very easy to imagine the Gothic and often grotesque scenes. Likewise, the action scenes are fast-paced, clear, and full of lively energy. The conflicts set up in the story make for a solid story framework. The plot progresses quite smoothly with each of these conflicts and builds, the tone and characterization are clear-and the dialogue is terrific! The overall pacing of the plot is consistent, smooth, and nicely developed. The structure is typical for the Gothic horror genre. The plot progression is linear, and the chapters move forward in a logical way. The opening is engaging and introduces Ravenword in an appealing way. The juxtaposition of the modern dialogue and characters with the old-fashioned Gothic castle setting is particularly satisfying. The first few chapters provide the reader with all the need-to-know information about the characters, conflict, and premise. The ending offers effective closure and resolution. The story is written in third-person omniscient point of view. We learn, view, hear, and understand everything as the Ravenword characters do. This sets up the feeling of suspense very well, as the reader is just as baffled as Ravenword by the strange goings-on and, like them, wants to uncover the mystery. The characters are described and developed consistently, and each character has a purpose in the plot. Characters are consistent, well-developed, and effective throughout. Parson is funny, strong-willed, and emotional. He delivers the most biting (and humorous) insults, but he retains a high likability factor. Agnot, too, is a well-drawn, strong character, one who is easily visualized right from the beginning. Both Billy and Grayson are mysteriously presented (pleasingly so). The dialogue itself is great. It offers a nice distinction, in its slang and modernity, from the prose of the narrative. As mentioned before, the reader will enjoy the juxtaposition of this modern-sounding dialogue and characters with the Gothic setting.
