| 3. Would you like to host a literary party? |
| Perhaps you don’t have the time to dedicate to a monthly book club, but still enjoy chatting about books with friends. Why not use Satan’s Chamber as the inspiration to get together for some good food and stimulating conversation? A literary party in your home is a unique way to catch up with friends, have fun, and support a local author!
If you live in the Pacific Northwest or the mid-Atlantic region, a Satan’s Chamber author will gladly attend your literary party and facilitate a book discussion. Contact Fuze Publishing at fuzepublishing@gmail.com in order to book a date for a literary party. |

| 4. Paper Plate Book Club Recipes! |
This past November Karetta was the guest facilitator at the Paper Plate Book Club at Edie McArthur’s house in Vienna. Besides a lively discussion of Satan’s Chamber, Edie served her family’s pumpkin chiffon and hot mulled cider. It is delicious!
Pumpkin chiffon
(can also be put into prebaked pie shell)
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup dark brown sugar packed
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ginger
2 egg yolks
1 cup undiluted evaporated milk
1/2 cup cold water
1 1/4 cup dark brown sugar packed
1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped
Combine gelatin, 1/2 cup brown sugar, salt, spices. In double boiler top, beat egg yolks, stir in milk, water, pumpkin, then gelatin mixture. Cook over boiling water, stirring, 10 minutes. Refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until as thick and syrupy as unbeaten egg white. Beat egg whites until fairly stiff, gradually add 1/4 cup brown sugar, beating until very stiff. Fold in pumpkin mixture. Turn into shell or serving dish. Refrigerate until set. To serve spread whipped cream over top.
Suggestion: cut back a bit on the brown sugar its an old recipe and people liked things sweeter back in the day.
Hot mulled cider
apple cider
cinnamon sticks
whole cloves
Heat cider with cinnamon sticks and cloves, to taste, on stove at low heat for half hour. Serve and enjoy. |
