Synopsis: When born and bred city girl Mary Pelzel moved with her husband, David, to a renovated hunting cabin in the Wenatchee National Forest of Western Washington, she had no idea what adventures - and misadventures -- lay ahead. Describing life in the Great North Woods as "his dream, my nightmare," Mary's delightful memoir, Mary's Place: Reflections & Recipes, is reminiscent of Betty MacDonald's classic, The Egg and I.
Mary's transformation from demure, and perhaps somewhat naïve, young bride into a true mountain woman wasn't easy and certainly wasn't overnight. Tales of blood-sucking insects, meat-eating flying creatures, hissing and venom drooling snakes, spiders with hair "longer than mine," frogs in the refrigerator, and lizards in the dining room, are just the beginning of her ten-year saga.
For the reader, chuckles and shivers will alternate with each unforgettable experience. But as a wonderful bonus, and in the truest sense of turning lemons into lemonade, Mary has followed each page of anecdotes with a delicious recipe. They range from a breakfast treat of Monkey-Faced Strawberry Muffins to an evening meal of Pasta with Kielbasa Sausage (or rattlesnake, if you prefer) and Vermouth - and, of course, Mom's Favorite Lemon Meringue Pie. "For anybody that cares," she adds, "I have included also complete instructions on cleaning an outhouse!"
About the Author: Emboldened by her ability to cope with a totally new lifestyle, Mary discovered she had an entrepreneurial spirit as well. Today, she is the proud owner of Mary's Place Gifts &
Tea House in Naches, Washington, on Chinook Pass, where visitors can enjoy her private
label jams, jellies, breads and soups, and sit a while to chat over a cup of tea.
Review: This is a good little memoir/cookbook, with some really interesting recipes! The Basil Burgers sound just divine, as do her Strawberry Muffins! The story and incidents that occurred when moving to the 'deep woods' are funny and sound like things that would happen to you and I. This is a cute book and I recommend it for all cookbook lovers! Here's her Apricot Bars recipe- perfect for Fall weather and totally adaptable to whatever fruit you have on hand!
