Re: Grilling the Subject (9:08pm August 4, 2016):
Wow, so many comments. Where to begin? Nancy and Pen, glad you liked the recipe. Sue - a crockpot is so wonderful! Julie and Nadine and Teresa, this really is as easy as it sounds! Marilyn, Melinda and Valerie, I'm so glad you like the cover. I adore my ARTIST! Teresa Fasolino is her name.
Marcia, a mint chocolate Christmas cake sounds divine. Jeri D, I adore German chocolate cake. Especially if I get to eat it in Germany! Lily, cereal is a go-to food, isn't it? LOL Joan and Angela, I have the easiest dump cake made with sherry. So divine for book club parties. Evelyn, you have stumped me. Magic Squares? Please share! Marilyn, your veggie recipe sounds so easy and tasty! Definitely perfect for an appetizer!
Thanks to all for chiming in. I'm thrilled to see you here.

Maryann, thank you so much! I agree re: chocolate and reading!
Cheryl, I adore a hash brown casserole!
Joanne, I enjoy dump cakes. I make up all sorts of new ones every year They're so easy! Where would we be without bundt pans?! ~ Daryl
Re: Grilling the Subject (2:45pm August 1, 2016):
Hi, Mary! I wish they would, too, but I think Hallmark is backing off this particular genre in the future. But you can certainly go to their FB page and tell them. Hint, hint. ~ Daryl
Re: Grilling the Subject (12:41pm August 1, 2016):
Jamie, I'm so glad you like them. I've got the best artist. Her name is Teresa Fasolino! ~ Daryl
Re: For Cheddar or Worse (8:47am February 12, 2016):
I have to admit I'm blown away by hearing of so many glorious places. Elaine, Bar Harbor sounds fun. Kay and Candice, I've never heard of Gatlinburg, TN, but I've heard of the Gatlin brothers, does that count? :) It sounds like a hopping place! Pam, Hilton Head is lovely! Angela, you made me laugh out loud as to what Fort Smith used to be. Too funny!
Lily, I have to agree re: NYC. I love going there. I lived there for a year when I tried to make it on Broadway. Every moment it vibrated with energy, both good and bad.
Sue, my hubby intended to take me there. He did a lot of college sports business there. He got me so interested, I read a travelogue about the area and wrote a screenplay set there. I have yet to go! Soon, though. I promise.
Judy, Spruce Pine SOUNDS relaxing. I can feel the breeze.
Mary, what fun to have a place to visit yearly AND see your son. Nice.
Hugs and good memories to all!

Re: For Cheddar or Worse (8:42am February 12, 2016):
Peggy, Coos Bay sounds fabulous. Like Lake Tahoe to me. Very "secure." Great word to describe it.
Celia, Sedona is absolutely gorgeous. Very serene in its simplicity.
Robyn, I've never been to Minnesota, but I hear the 10,000 lakes are amazing. I'd like to visit.
Thanks to all for chiming in!

Re: For Cheddar or Worse (11:50am February 9, 2016):
Wow, what a wonderful array of towns to put on my list to visit. I love Telluride, Susan, too! I haven't been New Galrus, WI, Melissa, but it sounds charming!! G.B., Newport, OR sounds like Crystal Cove, CA where my Cookbook Nook mysteries are set! Joan, I had the same experience in Baltimore. Truly enjoyed the experience. Jeri, the same with Williamsburg. I loved the history (and the 6 Flags, too). Desiree, I must try the Rio Grande. I would love to visit Taos, too. :) And Hylla, I've heard Galveston is great! Thanks to all for leaving messages! So wonderful to see you here. ~ Avery aka Daryl
Re: Fudging the Books (5:27pm August 4, 2015):
Sharon Baker, thank you so much for the lovely compliment! Maria - San Diego is such a fun town! With the zoo and everything! Love it. Nancy, visiting the grandkids is always great! Peggy - Tennessee sounds so lovely! I love a town with little shops, as you well know if you've read my books. Hope your health is on the mend.
All my best to all~ Daryl
Re: Fudging the Books (6:56pm August 3, 2015):
Oh, Debbie, I'll bet the Grand Canyon was hot but exhilarating. Elizabeth - sometimes my escape is simply to read!
~Daryl
Re: Fudging the Books (3:06pm August 3, 2015):
What wonderful places and memories from all of you about where you'd like to go/visit/see. I love Disneyland - yes, the kid in all of us. I did visit Canada, went to Toronto as well as Lake Jaspar (beautiful). I think wherever there's water, I feel comfortable. A river, a lake, the ocean! Thanks to all for chiming in.
Re: Fudging the Books (10:08am August 3, 2015):
Marcia, I loved going to Williamsburg. So educational! Marissa, Barbados sounds intriguing. I've been to the Caribbean. Mary, visiting family is always good. :) Thanks for stopping by! ~Daryl
Re: As Gouda as Dead (9:23am February 5, 2015):
By the way, so lovely to see so many of my regular readers as well as some "new to me" names!!!
Daryl aka Avery
Re: As Gouda as Dead (9:22am February 5, 2015):
Wow, I love all these special events. The Train Days sounds amazing. A library week to choose a book sounds like so much fun. A winter ball and feeling like Cinderella? Too cool! You've all given me some great ideas for future books!! Thanks for chiming in!
Daryl / Avery
Re: As Gouda as Dead (3:50pm February 4, 2015):
MaryEllen, what a sweet memory. ;)

Re: As Gouda as Dead (3:49pm February 4, 2015):

Rebecca, Kathy, and JoAnne, so lovely to see you here! Thanks for chiming in.
Daryl aka Avery Say cheese!
Re: Stirring The Plot (7:48pm October 1, 2014):
Peggy, do you have a delicious recipe for hot chocolate? Do you like whipped cream on yours? I do! It's not cold in LA, but I'm thinking hot chocolate sounds outstanding!
Hugs to all who have commented! You are so sweet to chime in.
Daryl aka Avery
Re: Stirring The Plot (7:47pm October 1, 2014):
Shirley Sego, can I hire you as my publicity manager? Thank you for your pat on the back! LOL
Daryl aka Avery
Re: Stirring The Plot (8:17pm September 30, 2014):
Lynn, I know what you mean about if there was a culinary cookbook shop in town. I'd like to live in my own book! :)
Daryl aka Avery
Re: Stirring The Plot (6:37pm September 30, 2014):
Wow, hello, everyone! How great to see your responses. I hope those that can't afford them will talk to a librarian! I am a big fan of libraries! Best way to share a book! Enjoy & hope to see you on my Mystery Lovers Kitchen blog, where a bunch of authors, who love to cook up crime, serve up recipes daily! Savor the mystery! ~ Daryl aka Avery
Re: To Brie or Not to Brie (1:08pm February 10, 2013):
Donna, I love that your muse is your grandmother. Sweet.
Kelli, whenever you feel you've lot it, get up and walk. Walking is a huge lifesaver. Opens the mind.
Kai, we all write garbage, even when inspired. LOL. Keep writing and then rewriting. That's key. Our first words are never the best.
Hugs to all!
Re: To Brie or Not to Brie (9:06am February 5, 2013):
Carla, I've car-danced. It's so much fun, but watch out. I also have been known to step on the gas when I car-dance and suddenly I'm really speeding! LOL
A vacuum for a partner....love that. Might use that in a future book. :)
Enjoy the day.
Avery
Re: To Brie or Not to Brie (9:05am February 5, 2013):
Clare, I agree, one has to choose music carefully. Good point. There are a few songs that break my heart. I won't write listening to those. Those are for personal cleansing moments. But I usually listen to upbeat music. I listen to a few movie themes with thumping beats when I write action scenes. :)

Re: A Brew To A Kill (4:59pm August 7, 2012):
PS Loved your trailer! Lots of great images! ~ Avery
Re: A Brew To A Kill (4:55pm August 7, 2012):
Cleo, congrats on your new release! I adore your books! Love Clare. And I really enjoyed how you incorporated the "freshness" of the city into this post. Great information for readers as well as authors. :) Avery aka Daryl
Re: Clobbered By Camembert (12:46pm April 22, 2012):
Connie, we definitely have that gleam in our eyes!!! We're always cooking up plots.
~Avery
Gloria, can't wait to see you, too.
~Avery
Re: Clobbered By Camembert (2:35pm April 20, 2012):
I was just informed by a very reliable source that the signings at Malice will no longer be on the Terrace. They'll be on the Ballroom Level. Ooops!
Avery
Re: Clobbered By Camembert (11:12am February 27, 2012):
Alyson, the books aren't fattening at all! :) (Unless, of course, you like to chew paper.)
Beth, you are lucky. I adore Cabot Clothbound Cheddar!
~Avery
Re: Clobbered By Camembert (12:18pm February 26, 2012):
Joanne, actually Avery is my "chosen" name. It's a pseudonym. My real name is Daryl Wood Gerber. It's a long story, but I love the name Avery Aames. First in the literary alphabet, so far as I can tell. I guess Angela and Agatha would come before me. :)
Mary, I'm thrilled that this brings back good memories.
Kai, I'm so sorry that your mom restricted your foods. It's difficult to deal with others' opinions of what we should be, isn't' it?
Teresa, I adore string cheese. So simple yet so fun!
Kelly, I ADORE the Domestic Diva mysteries. Did you know that one of them is up for the Agatha award for best novel? The Diva Haunts the House. It's terrific!
LL and Mary and Tina, so good to see you here. Thanks for posting a comment! :}
Best to all,
Avery
Re: Clobbered By Camembert (12:13pm February 26, 2012):
Kiki, I love it when I find new readers!
Jennifer Beyer, I'm so sorry you can't have dairy. I totally understand. I can't have wheat. I hope you can enjoy the stories despite the dietary restriction!
Jennifer Beck, it's not necessary to cook to read. Isn't that great? :)
John, Catherine, and Tracie, thanks for chiming in!
~Avery
Re: Clobbered By Camembert (5:02pm February 25, 2012):
MaryAnne, there are lots of cheeses that are seasonal. Doesn't that make them that much better? You anticipate? It's almost like a holiday when you open one up.
Rich, thanks for the pat on the back. Yes, the research is the most fun!
Avery
Re: Clobbered By Camembert (3:48pm February 25, 2012):
Okay, Sherry, you've stumped me. What is Rat Trap cheese?
Lynn, I sent a card to Fromagination! Love the name of that cheese shop. Not sure how you missed out on my books, but I hope you'll read them all.
~Avery
Re: Clobbered By Camembert (3:13pm February 25, 2012):
Robin, cheese is worth a trip to the treadmill. :)
Lori, good luck with your surgery. I understand a little piece of cheese to help. It's a very comforting food with lots of nutrients.
Sue, I love anyone who has a TBR pile. The one beside my bed is huge! LOL
Linda, aren't memories of when we were young fun? However, I have to admit that my sister and I don't remember the same things. Now why is that?
Nan, my books are in libraries, too. If you can't find it there, ask your librarian to see if she can track one down!
Best to all,
Avery
Re: Clobbered By Camembert (3:11pm February 25, 2012):
Jenne, Kathleen, and Erin, so great to see you here.
Cindy, I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the first in the series!
Peggy, thanks for the compliment regarding the art. I've been blessed with a fabulous artist: Teresa Fasolino.
Debbie, a hobby farm sounds enchanting. Good luck with that venture.
~Avery
Re: Clobbered By Camembert (3:07pm February 25, 2012):
Pam, I adore grilled cheese sandwiches. So does my protagonist Charlotte's good friend, Delilah, who runs the Country Kitchen. She's always on the lookout for a new recipe. {I have to make my gluten-free, but it's the cheese that matters, right?}
~Avery
Re: Clobbered By Camembert (3:06pm February 25, 2012):
Margie, too funny. Tell your son that there are recipes at the back of the book and there's a great one for quiche!
~Avery
Re: Clobbered By Camembert (11:52am February 25, 2012):
Hi, all. I'm on the west coast. Sorry to chime in late. What a great group of comments!
Dawn, I like trying new things, too. Molly, you don't have to cook to like cheese and mysteries. Isn't that fun? Marjorie, I'm so glad you like the titles. I have so much fun coming up with them. Holly, Homer Simpson and cheese (LOL!). Silvana, if you love foodie mysteries, make sure you also check out the blog Mystery Lovers Kitchen where I blog with other mystery foodies! Robin, get your teeth into my stories. (Snort!) Too funny. Linda, your hips need these mysteries? Perhaps I should consider writing a hula mystery, too. (Okay, getting silly now) GS: I have had a number of reviewers & fans say that they get hungry reading them. Have a piece of cheese and perhaps a glass of water, tea, or wine at hand. :)
Best to all,
Avery
Re: Dire Threads (4:30pm October 23, 2011):
Janet, I love that you were a potato! How creative is that. I think my most creative was dressing as an exotic dancer, veils and all, that were made of my pajamas. Lots of eye makeup. I was very into the whole dramatic thing. (Still haven't lost that, I guess.) My mother was great at using what was at hand. She was a sewer, she knitted, though none of things were her ultimate passion. She was a reader most. And that is what I took from her. But I learned to sew from my girlfriend's mother. A denim skirt was the first project. Threading the needle. I went on to sew all my dresses, my prom dress, and all my son's Halloween costumes - until he wanted to be an X- Man. Then the buying started. I continue to sew to this day, though usually they're all repairs. I rarely have the time to sew, sew, sew, and I think I'd rather read. :)
~Avery Aames aka Daryl Wood Gerber
Re: Truly, Madly (8:22pm March 3, 2010):
Lust at first sight. Great title for a romance, don't you think? Heather, thanks for sharing! I fell in "love" with my husband the moment I met him. His eyes, his humor. I worked hard to snag him. ~Avery
