Painted Moon is a variety of rose seen at Butchart Gardens on Vancouver Island.
Trivia – Painted Moon and Turkey Brine
The turkey cookery in Painted Moon is entirely the result of Karin watching her mother and grandmother cook for the holidays. Years later, she does have a Turkey Brine recipe to share, stolen adapted from Alice Waters and Alton Brown.
Trivia – Painted Moon
On the original cover of Painted Moon, the figures are a woman and… a dog. Absolutely, it’s a dog. (Hop over to the “all about” for Painted Moon and open the “Covers Past and Present” gallery. It’s the light tealy-bluish one.)
Trivia – Car Pool
The sassy VW Bug in Car Pool was real, though it didn’t have IBPROUD plates. Alas, it was not a car Karin ever had the pleasure of riding in.
Fair Warning
Anyone who thinks topics about women’s lives and hearts are trash should probably keep well away from Karin.
