Ingredients:
1 cup of Beauty
1/2 teaspoon stubborn
1/2 cup cold courage
1/4 cup sheer determination
FILLING:
1/3 cup protectiveness
2 teaspoons naughty
1/8 teaspoon talent
½ of romance,
1 teaspoon brilliant blue food coloring
2 tablespoons hot temper beaten down so it’s hardly noticeable
1-1/2 teaspoons authority
GLAZE and the rest:
1/4 cup
golden coloring
1 teaspoon of black food coloring
5 teaspoons of water
½ teaspoon of battle scars
Directions
- In a small bowl, combine beauty and stubbornness; cut in 1/4 cup courage until crumbly and evenly distributed to last for centuries. Gradually add sheer determination, tossing with a fork. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the raw product. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine protectiveness, naughty and talent. Add sweet romance and a dash of blue coloring; toss to coat. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes or until the protectiveness permeates the mixture, stirring often. Remove the filling from the heat.
- In a small bowl, combine gold food coloring and 4 teaspoon of water. In another small bowl, mix the remaining teaspoon of water with the black food coloring.
- Remove the raw product form the fridge. Brush with golden coloring all over.
- Spoon the filling into the middle of the raw product, fold over, press and shape until the filling is trapped inside. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush with remaining golden coloring and at the very top, brush with black.
- Bake for 9 months.
- Results: blue-eyes, black-hair, golden-brown guy.
- Sprinkle battle scars

Nothing can stop Raine Cooper when she wants something…
Raine finally knows that her gorgeous neighbor, Torin St. James, is a legend straight out of Norse mythology, and that her feelings for him are strong. Torin is crazy about Raine too, breaking the one rule he lives by: Never fall for a mortal. The problem is he no longer remembers her, his memories erased by Norns—Norse destiny deities—to punish her for defying them.
She will make Torin forget his one rule a second time and fall in love with her all over again.
But she quickly learns that well-laid plans do not work when dealing with deities and supernatural beings. Desperate, Raine makes choices that could not only tear her and Torin further apart, but lead to the destruction of everything and everyone she loves.
REVIEW
Un-freaking-believable! Picking up where
Runes left off, teasing with a sliver of information here and there. Reading
Immortals is not just a journey into Raine's life & head but an escape into a world unknown... A glimpse into one of Ednah's worlds. There were a few times Raine tested me with her thoughts and how she reacted to situations she found herself in. Times when she thought and acted a bit selfish rather than growing into the heroine she is to become. By the end of the story though she was forgiven of all her selfishness.
