Bar B Q

A great joy of summer holidays is the Bar B Q. I was curious to find out where we got the word. A popular story is it comes from bars who had pool tables. They were known as "Bar, Beer, and Que", which was shortened to BAR-B-Q or BBQ. That sounded strange to me, as it had nothing to do with cooking. I finally discovered it comes for the Taino people in the Caribbean and is known as barbacoa or the "Sacred Fire Pit."
The next time I open the Bar B Q, light the fire, and begin the ritual of preparation for feast, I will remind the family to speak softly and reverently to me as I am now Chief of the Sacred Fire Pit.
 My wife will probably look at me like I am weird and just tell me to not burn the hamburgers on the Sacred Fire Pit like I did last time.  Just Say'n


Most people will celebrate this July 4th by joining our blog family. They will do this by hitting the "Follow this Blog" button or hit the Twitter or Facebook button. Then they will be so happy they will shoot off fireworks. If you believe this, I can also get you a good price on the Brooklyn Bridge. Just Say'n

Readers’ hearts will be beating hard as they join in this adventure where people come back from the dead, wear so many facades you’re not quite sure who’s on the good or bad side of the law, while experiencing the growing attraction between the lady ‘cop’ who could be lying through her teeth and the normally bored psychologist who stepped into the adventure of a lifetime.

The author, a practicing psychotherapist, certainly knows how to light a fire at the beginning of a tale and guide the reader through all types of personalities and red herrings that will make them very disappointed when the story has to come to an end.

Quill Says: This is one psychologist who has met his match when it comes to a truly astonishing female!
