Two queries

[violachic]

1) Attention sci-fi literature afficionados: I've really enjoyed The Doomsday Book and To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis (and just finished reading Jerome K. Jerome's Three Men in a Boat (to say nothing of the dog) which was inspiration for the latter). Are there any other of her novels, that you know of, that are also set in the same universe? To wit, the time-travel lab at Oxford University, Mr. Dunworthy and all.


2) Attention those who bake/cook: Any advice for working with egg whites? I have this marvelous cookie recipe that is basically egg whites, granulated sugar, vanilla, and chocolate chips. Sometimes the egg whites stiffen up beautifully, and the end result is a gorgeous, light, crispy cookie. Sometimes they don't, and I end up with sweet chocolate chip goo. I don't have enough experience to tell what I've done when they've turned out right. I'd really love to perfect this recipe every time.

**ETA: this is the recipe**




Thank you!

Yes, I got that book of short stories out of the library this summer. the whole book is fabulous! I was hoping she had more novels there, but I've been told all her books are really wonderful.

no more novels that i'm aware of. those are among my faves of her books (that and passages, mentioned above) but i don't think i've ever read any of her work that i didn't like.
