Behind the story

This story came out of a discussion at a meeting of the writer's group that I am involved in.  We were talking about setting scenes, building tension and writing suspense, thriller and horror.  So we each agreed to take the challenge.

I wanted to try something different, and come at the challenge from an alternative approach.  Let me know what you think.

Spicy Bean and Sweet Potato Stew

Here is the recipe, for those that want it.  I did this for the family on New Year's Eve, a great winter warmer and perfect for small gatherings.  I did double the amount in order to feed 7.5 (Toby was .5 :)) apart from not doubling the jalapeno peppers in order to reduce the spicy heat a little.  This double also provided enough to feed 3 more people on another evening so more like food for 10-11 people. I also cook this in the slow cooker, on High, for four hours.  We find this works better and allows the ingredients longer to mix flavours.

First make a ginger beer plant:
