Sugar and cinnamon
Mix together everything but sugar and cinnamon. Spray Bundt pan with Pam or similar coating. Mix cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle on all sides of prepared pan. Add the batter, evening it out
—it will be thick. Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes (check with a long kebab skewer or something similar); it often has to cook longer. Cool five minutes and remove from the pan. DON’T WAIT ANY LONGER. Run a knife around edges of pan and tunnel in the middle, and then top with a plate, invert, and gently shake to remove the cake from the pan.
Ranch eggs—a Sunday special at the café
½ lb. bacon, cooked until crisp and set aside; 3 Tbsp. drippings reserved
1 tomato, coarsely chopped
4 green onions, sliced
Clove of garlic
½ tsp. chili powder
Salt (Be careful—tomato sauce is salty.)
8-oz. can tomato sauce
12 eggs
Enough milk to scramble eggs (or cottage cheese, sour cream, whatever you prefer)
Mix everything (except bacon, eggs, and milk or whatever) and simmer. Separately in skillet, with bacon drippings, scramble eggs. Add a little more salt and pepper. Serve eggs topped with sauce and bacon, broken into bits. Pass tortillas.
Murder at the Tremont House
is the second Blue Plate Mystery from award-winning novelist Judy Alter, following the successful
Murder at the Blue Plate Café.
Judy is also the author of four books in the Kelly O’Connell Mysteries series:
Skeleton in a Dead Space, No Neighborhood for Old Women,
Trouble in a Big Box,
and
Danger Comes Home.
With the Blue Plate Murder series, she moves from inner city Fort Worth to small-town East Texas to create a new set of characters in a setting modeled after a restaurant that was for years one of her family’s favorites.
Before turning her attention to mystery, Judy wrote fiction and nonfiction, mostly about women of the American West, for adults and young-adult readers. Her work has been recognized with awards from the Western Writers of America, the Texas Institute of Letters, and the National Cowboy Museum and Hall of Fame. She has been honored with the Owen Wister Award for Lifetime Achievement by WWA and inducted into the Texas Literary Hall of Fame at the Fort Worth Public Library.
