{"product_id":"original-recipes-matthew-e-thuney-9781540708489","title":"Original Recipes: Tasty Tidbits from \"Thuney Casserole\" and Other Early Entrees","description":"Journey with us now back to a small pre-mall town in northwest Washington state during the era of VCRs, Bush the First, door-to-door salesmen, punk, Goth, and pet ferrets. Enjoy the hijinks as a would-be writer recently arrived from San Francisco learns to navigate small-town streets, customs, sports, Canadian quirks, and the pathways of his heart, transforming from party animal to business owner to home owner to family man. How do you turn a half-baked human into a fully cooked columnist? Begin with...One aging, directionless, carefree ex-hippie from the comfortable confines of California; stir in his second marriage. Place...Said concoction in the Pacific Northwest, amidst total strangers and completely unfamiliar surroundings. Add...Two pinches of harsh winter; one tablespoon business ownership; one teaspoon writing career. Bring to a boil... Slowly skim away...Wife #2. Sprinkle with...A dash of mid-life bachelordom; a cup of home ownership; a fifth of fortieth birthday. Rapidly stir in...A fiancé; wife #3; two stepchildren. Bake in oven at 451 degrees until thoroughly done. And, voila! You have the columns, radio scripts, articles, and other assorted nonsense assembled in ORIGINAL RECIPES.
