Death's Excellent Vacaction by Charlaine Harris and Toni L.P. Kelner

 ***Includes a new Sookie story ( road trip with Pam called "Two Blondes")

Toni Kelner and I had a great chat about the exciting new anthology of (lucky!) thirteen deliciously dark tales, all by different authors. In Death's Excellent Vacation, editors Charlaine Harris and Toni L. P. Kelner bring together a stellar collection of tour guides who offer vacations that are frightening, funny, and touching for the fanged, the furry, the demonic, and the grotesque. Learn why it really can be an endless summer-for immortals.
So of course we want to know about the new book, Death's Excellent Vacation. What's it about and why do you love it?
Death's Excellent Vacation is our take on the beach book.  We asked our contributors to write about supernatural creatures on vacation--that was our whole pitch--and Charlaine and I were just amazed at how many different takes on that simple theme people came up with.  I love how each story is both wonderful and wildly different from the others.

True Blood Recipes: Summer's "picked in the church yard" strawberry preserves

4 cups strawberries, washed and capped.
1 cup water
4 cups sugar
Sterilized Jars, lids, and rings ( makes 2-3 pints)

-Wash jars in hot water with detergent and rinse well, or wash in the dishwasher.  Place clean jars in boiling water to cover and boil for 10 minutes.  Keep hot while you prepare the Preserves.

-Prepare the lids and rings according to manufacturers recommendations.

-Combine water and sugar.  Cook until it reaches soft ball stage or 235 degrees F on the candy thermometer.

-Add the strawberries and cook over high heat for 15 minutes.  Skim off foam while cooking.

-Put into sterilized jars, leaving approximately ¼ inch of headspace (air). Wipe rim and threads with a damp paper towel to remove any sticky sugar residue and seal lids.  Tighten lids, but do not over-tighten. Turn the jars upside down to cool.  Put partially filled jars into fridge immediately.



-Inspect the jars to be sure they sealed.  As they are cooling you may hear them “pop”.  This is a good sound- it means the vacuum has pulled the lid down.  Any jars that do not seal should be put in the fridge to use first. 

-Make biscuits cause you know you want some!!!

Summer's " I want you to taste my biscuits" recipe can be found here

"I like you, Hoyt. I wanna be your girlfriend, and I really want you to taste my biscuits."

Denis O'Hare Interview-True Blood's King of Mississippi

Way back in January I spoke to Denis O'Hare at the premiere of Edge of Darkness and he told me in our exclusive interview that his character on True Blood Season 3 wasn't necessarily evil. Well, if you've been watching the show you know that's not exactly the truth. O'Hare, a veteran of stage and screen, is enjoying his time as a powerful vampire king on True Blood and absolutely loves the writing.

"They have a lot of philosophy in it and there's also a lot of heart. There's a scene we did in episode 10 that was so heartbreaking I literally could not get the lines out. I had to keep stopping because it was such a beautiful sequence of lines - beautiful, beautiful stuff."

Puppets and vampires collide on 'Transylvania Television'

You love puppets. You love vampires. You love the Internet.
Today I started watching episodes of Transylvania Television, a web series about a group of furry monsters who are trying to run a TV station.
Characters include a vampire named Le Shoc, a yeti named Furry J. Ackermonster and a slow fella named Dwayne Frankenstein. You could call it Sesame Street-esque, although characters are prone to saying things like, "Mmm, babies are delicious!"

Zombies and Vampires Team Up for, in Retrospect, Inevitable TV Show

It's all right to punch yourself in the arm for not thinking of this one first. NBC has just purchased a spec script for the incredibly high-concept Zombies vs. Vampires, about a cop vampire dealing with "zombie crime" in a world where zombie-ness can be controlled through medication. With this series, NBC is really hedging its bets, ensuring it will neither miss out on the vampire craze nor be left looking hopelessly out-of-date when the vampire craze ends and the zombie craze begins in earnest. Illustrating this idea's vitality, we already have questions: Can vampires eat zombies? Or is their blood too rotten?

Blood Work! “True Blood” vlog 3.07: Escape from Lilith Fair

Team Talk Blood guys, Andy and Brian bring us their vlog for Ep 3.07

I gotta be honest, I don’t know which would be worse: Being trapped on a plantation full of bitchy gay vampires or being stuck in Sookie’s RenFair afterlife. In this episode of our True Blood recap vlog, Andy and I unleash our inner garden party and frolic bedside, Bon Temps style.

Soon enough we get around to discussing Lorena’s chocolate fountain climax, Sam’s fetish wear, and all the other nutty crap that went down in this week’s ep.

Hop into our Hot Tub Time Machine, after the break!

Vampire Craftin' Sookie Stackhouse cross stitch

Stacy from Vampire Craftin blog writes...I am so proud of myself, and it doesn't happen often.  I created and completed a cross stitch pattern.  I saw so many patterns on line and even those where you make a pattern from a photo and I thought "You have to be crazy"  That is like 75 different flossess and months and months of work.  So this is my version.  It on 14 count fabric.  It is 50x50 and I used 7 diffrent color flosses.  My pattern was one I hand stiched and scanned in and it is not pretty.  If you would like the pattern.  email me and I will send you what I worked from.  I plan on making one for every character on the show.

I took my Cross Stitch Pattern and made a Applique Quilt block.  The pattern and step by step instructions  are available for FREE download on my blog.  I hope to create a block for each character, and end up with a handmade True Blood Quilt.  

I am using the same pattern to created a Applique Quilt block of Sookie Stackhouse.  I will post it soon.
