As with so many authors, including yours truly, Catherine works full-time and squeezes her writing around the edges of that full day.For the second time in two weeks I'm introduced to a food dish I'd never heard of: Loco Moco. The dish originated in Hilo and consists of rice, a hamburger patty, a fried egg and gravy. Have you ever had it? Today's show is supported by my patrons at Patreon. Thank you!

Tessa something. The one who made the cannoli. What are you doing in our pantry? Where’s Marta?”I spoke slowly and methodically, hoping that panic wasn’t evident in my voice. “Oh, hi, Willow. I was hoping to see your mother. Marta’s upstairs vacuuming.” I didn’t mention Gabby and prayed Marta wouldn’t reappear and mention her either. “How’d your father’s signing go today?”“It was canceled. Daddy had to go to New York City to meet with his agent and a film producer. They’re turning his new book into a movie.” Her jaw tightened. “But I still don’t know why you’re in our kitchen.”“I couldn’t help checking out your mother’s impressive ingredients. I’m in awe of her talent.” My lies were going to catch up with me soon.“Are you here alone?”“Of course.” If Gabby was found, things would get worse. I hoped she’d overhear our exchange and head for the car. “Your mother keeps a well-stocked pantry.”“That’s right. Mother said you were a chef.” Willow gave a smug smile. “She must have been jealous of you. She can barely manage to turn on an oven without help.”I was surprised to hear her admit it. “You’re not a fan of her show?”Willow shrugged. “It’s all right. Mother gets paid a ridiculous amount of money for doing nothing. She hates to cook. You know how some mothers bake cookies with their kids?”“Yes.” How I yearned to do that someday.“Not my mother,” she said in annoyance. “I made cookies with Marta instead. She’s the one who has taken care of me since I was a baby. Mother was always too busy trying to be in the limelight. The high society princess. Wife of a famous author. No time to be a parent. Honestly, I’m not quite sure why she even bothered to have me.”“Why are you telling me this?” It seemed weird that she’d share all of this intimate information with a stranger. It also sounded like she resented Sylvia.“Why not? It makes no difference if you or the entire world knows. I’m sick and tired of being their puppet. As soon as I turn twenty-one and get my trust fund, I’m out of here. They’re both so self-centered they couldn’t care less what happens to me.”“I’m sure that’s not true.” I wondered if she knew about Daphne’s baby and decided to fan the flame a bit.
