Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts #95
Welcome to Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts, an original weekly meme hosted here at (un)Conventional Bookviews. So many of the books I read have food or drinks in them, some I’d love to try, and others I’d never ever want to taste… and I thought it could be interesting and fun to share some food and / or drink quotes… If you want to participate, you can grab my logo if you’d like, or you can make your own, but please link back to me in your own post.
The idea of Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts is to share a quote with food or drinks that showed up in a recent read, as well as if it’s something you think you’d like or not. Please share the title of the book it happened in, as well as the character who ate or drank the special little something you discovered between the pages of a good read. Please link up beneath, and visit other bloggers who are participating in Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts as well.
Today, I’m sharing a Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts quote from Luck, Love and Lemon Pie – I knew I would find at least one quote with that title 🙂 Plus – bonus is that there is both something edible and drinks in the same paragraph!
It took MJ one hour forty-seven minutes and three old-fashioneds to eat the entire anniversary pie herself. All that remained in the empty tin were a few smudges of lemon cream sprinkled with flakes of crust, but her stomach didn’t seem to mind the alarming influx of calories. She waved to the nearby waiter to order another cocktail and have the pie tin removed. In minutes, the gluttonous evidence had vanished and she sipped her next drink, letting the brandy burn as it went down – and appreciating that it was more booze than soda. Somehow, bartenders always knew when to give a generous pour.
Thanks for stopping by today, I look forward to reading your Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts quote. Have a terrific Thursday and don’t forget to link up.

Oh boy! She’s got a better stomach than me. I’d be sick after that combo. 🙂

interestingly, that Bad Neighbor book had a ziti involved, but the brandy was your idea XD
Ah yes, bartenders do know how to read people – and give them what they need. 🙂 I don’t know that I could eat an entire pie AND have drinks…but I think I’d be willing to try. 😉
Happy Thursday, wifey! *HUGS & LOVE*
I can’t imagine drinking while eating pie…but brandy might work for me. I wonder what led up to this splurge? Sounds like a good story!

I have this and will definitely read it soon!
Mine is on FB, the “@” isn’t working so was unable to tag you.
Definitely sounds like an appropriate book for food mentions! I’m not TOO big on pie, but I’ve started eating a bit more.
