Lethal Lessons, by Karen Hanson Stuyck

A fluffy mystery.

Our hero, Liz, eats a lot of tex-mex. The novel is set in Houston, Texas.

*Lunch with friend: chicken salad sandwich, with apples, nuts, and curry.

*Lunch with friend in hospital cafeteria: tuna salad sandwich, apple, green jello

*Dinner with co-worker: veal piccata. Co-worker had spaghetti carbonara

*Dinner with friends at restaurant: tostados (by which I think she means tortilla chips), chicken fajitas and small margarita. Friend has large margarita and taco salad, friend's daughter has "multiple entree platter" and coke, plus more chips.

Note: friend's daughter is chubby. Every time we see her eat she is shoveling it in, more than anyone else. Again,the usual assumption that fat people simply eat all the time, more than anyone else.

*Dinner alone at home: wine, then later scrambled eggs, toast with butter and jelly. Describes it as comfort food, as Liz is feeling out of sorts.
