A third helping of TKWC could make one appear gluttonous, but this huge heaping helping won’t make you put on an ounce. I swear! In fact, laughing at some of the humorous stories in this anthology will actually help you lose weight. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Stuffed by Toni Goodyear ~ I’d rather have a divorce, please.
A Saucy Kind of Holiday by Lesley A. Diehl ~ Yay! Aunt Nozzie stories are a kick!
The Corner Suite by Elizabeth Hosang ~ You just can’t trust anyone these days.
Operation Knock Her Down a Peg by Barb Goffman ~ Revenge can get you in trouble.
A Pig in a Poke by Herschel Cozine ~ Amusing.
Mama Made Kugel by Barbara Metzger ~ I love Ms. Metzger’s historical romances and wasn’t sure about a contemporary by her, but I love this story.
The Mashed Potato/Cranberry Thanksgiving Murder Case by Big Jim Williams ~ Ok, this is way out there on the far side of farcical.
The Bells of Saint Marie by Randall DeWitt ~ Woah…
You Say Potato by Sarafina Gravagno ~ Ha! A favorite.
Vegetables Aren’t Good for You! by Laird Long ~ Way out there. I’m beginning to sense a theme with Mr. Long.
Blame It on the Chef by Rhett Shepard ~ I thought my family was weird.
It’s All in the Timing by Warren Bull ~ My least favorite.
Diminishing Returns by Lee Hammerschmidt ~ Well, ok…revenge can be sweet.
Cheese It, The Cops by Sharon Daynard ~ It’s okay, not a favorite.
Fowl Play by Mary Mackey ~ Ok, I was stumped on this one, but the end is just weird.
Next Year, the Lotus Garden by Mary Patterson ~ Plenty of suspects. I like that.

Recipes by Lisa Wagner ~ These sound so yummy! I’m going to have to give them a whirl.
