Hello Alaska

November 11, 2018April 15, 2023 CmdrSue

I’ve not visited you, Alaska, but I admire you for your rugged beauty. And I’ve been on your planes. When I saw the movie The Proposal I seriously considered immediately moving to Sitka (that was my DREAM house), but my husband advised me there would be a lot of winter. So much winter.

Your food is strange but intriguing to me. Smoked salmon is a big thumbs up. But ice cream made of out lard and berries? I’m intrigued but skeptical.

What shouldn’t I miss in Alaska? To my Alaskans, drop a comment with a tour or food suggestion for a chance to win a book!

4/15/23 Update: Added a featured picture. Would still love to hear from Alaskans!

Sweet Home Alabama!

THE FIRST STOP IN SUE LONDON’S 50 STATE VIRTUAL BOOK TOUR IS ALABAMA

Hey there Alabama! It’s been awhile, but it’s nice to start the tour in a state where I used to live. Yep, in the early 80s I lived in Mobile. The Golden Buckle of the Bible Belt, as a local called it. Home to the oldest Mardi Gras in America (still haven’t attended, need to do that). I lived within walking distance of USA (Go Jaguars!) and attended St. Paul’s Episcopal.

Keep an eye out for my FOOD CHALLENGE. Even though so far all the “weird” foods from Alabama are… just things I eat. Sometimes my attitude skews Yankee, but my tummy is 100% Southern belle.

4/15/23 update: I added a featured picture from clip art but then when hunting for info on my old school, St. Paul’s Episcopal. The uniforms are almost exactly the same as when I was there in 1983!
