Hello everyone, I hope all is well with you! I’m doing a new series on my blog. Every Thursday through the holidays, I’ve got a new author sharing one of her favorite holiday recipes with everyone. Today I have Jo Grafford here and she’s sharing her Asparagus Soup Recipe. It sounds so yummy!
Take it away Jo!
Asparagus Soup Take twelve Pounds of lean Beef cut in Slices, then put a Quarter of a pound of Butter in a Stewpan over the Fire, and put your Beef in. Let it boil up quick till it begins to brown, then put in a Pint of Brown Ale and a Gallon of Water, cover it close, and let it Stew gently for an hour and a half. Put in what Spice you like in the Stewing. Strain out the Liquor, Skim off the Fat, then put in some Vermecelly and Asparagus cut small and Potatoes boiled tender and cut. Put all these in, and Boil gently until Tender. Just as it’s going up, Fry a Handful of Spinage in Butter, and throw in a French Roll.This recipe can be found in this book! It’s an oldie but a goodie!
Now that Jo’s shared a yummy recipe with us, here’s more about her new book!
Blurb:
A cursed island, a chilling conspiracy, and an unforgettable love story. The 115 colonists on Roanoke Island couldn’t GPS, skype or twitter their ultimate destination back to their families and friends in 16th Century England. But modern laser technology has finally uncovered a clue – hidden beneath a patch on an ancient map at the British museum – that leads us to their whereabouts. Considered “lost” for centuries, these brave pioneers finally reveal the rest of their story in Book One of the Lost Colony Series.

Returning from a diplomatic tour in London, Chief Manteo is bewitched by the fiery-haired ship’s clerk and determined to overcome her distrust. He contrives a daring plan to win her heart – one that forces her, honor bound, to serve as a slave to his tribe – a plan he prays will protect her from a chilling conspiracy involving murder, blood money, and a betrayal of their fledgling colony so terrifying it can only be revealed in Breaking Ties.
