In 2012 I began a holiday tradition of writing holiday codas for some of my — and your — favorite stories. I ran the codas on my blog and left them up there for readers to enjoy all year round.At the request of readers, I collected the codas in an expanded and edited edition which I published in 2015 as Merry Christmas, Darling.Since then I've written an additional twenty-one codas, so it seems about time to do another collection. As before, I'm including recipes for cocktails and dishes that are either featured in the original works or seem to add some final comment or insight into the era or the characters or their relationship.
