Bakerhaven alcohol acts as A Clue for the Puzzle Lady, Cora Felton, who achieves her own drinkable drinks and inedible edibles and apes town acquaintances appreciating bakery, bar, dining-out and home food.

Chief Dale Harper breakfasts on toast at home and, if police business begins before, a Cushman’s Bake Shop muffin, both with bounteously milked and sugared coffee. Sophie Singer, Bakerhaven High music teacher, and Julia Weinstein from the Bakerhaven hairdresser’s consume Cushman’s coffee respectively after her first class and with a blueberry muffin. Cora drinks for breakfast Bloody Mary, coffee, gin, gin and tonic or gin with lime at home; coffee at Cushman’s; and orange juice at Country Kitchen.

Excessive milk and sugar excesses encourage Cora enjoying Cushman’s coffee and, excellentized at two tablespoons (28.3 grams) per small cup, housemate and niece Sherry Carter’s coffee.

Sherry favors coffee black and, when fearful, frantic or frustrated, unspecified tea even as Aaron Grant finds Cushman’s and her coffees finest when milk- and sugar-filled.

Retired Police Chief Ed Hodges gives Sherry none of his carrots, lettuce, radishes, raspberries or summer squashes and some of his sugar-free iced tea with lemon. Sherry never helps herself when private nursery school students have snack-time cookies and juice, perhaps from Cora having lime, orange and tomato juices in alcoholic drinks. Neither aunt nor niece ingests the unidentified breakfast cereal whose television commercials interest crossword-immersed individuals in the 256 newspapers that issue the syndicated Puzzle Lady column.

Cora judges Sherry’s bacon strips and blueberry pancakes breakfast with coffee, brunch with Bakerhaven alcohol in vodka with celery salt, iced tomato juice and Worcestershire sauce.

Supermarket shelves keep processed maple syrup even as Sherry somehow knows who keeps real maple syrup, perhaps from the maple tree across from the Potter residence.

Sherry likely locates balsamic vinegar before next lavishing Cora and herself with boneless chicken breasts with sliced mushrooms, long-grain rice with pine nuts and salad vinaigrette. She modified his mutinous mood so perhaps some morning Sherry may make Ed Hodges’ munchable daisy, geranium and marigold flowers and foliage into a mixed salad. Navigating nastiness, need, neglect, noxiousness perhaps necessitates a wheat (Triticum aestivum) field for scratch-cooking Sherry and a tobacco (Nicotiana rustica, N. tabacum) field for cigarette-smoking Cora.

Bakerhaven alcohol as Bloody Mary, gin mixed, gin straight up, vodka straight up versus brownies and cakes occupy Sherry versus Cora when overwhelmed by outrageous occurrences.

Sherry pairs less protruding perturbations with scratch-baked cakes and shortcakes, more persistent, more preponderant provocations with brownies scratch-baked from chocolate syrup, eggs, flour, milk and sugar.

Unspecified chewing gum perhaps queues among mood-quickening, mood-quietening quests by the restaurant cashier at Country Kitchen, whose bar, like one in Fort Lauderdale, quarters mood-questing barhoppers. Channel 8 reporter Rick Reed and, like driver Phil, like Sherry’s ex-husband Dennis Pride in Florida, cameraman Ernie respectively relish scotch and soda and draft beers. Perhaps Country Kitchen bartenders serve pizza slices or perhaps Channel 8 newsmen stop by the pizza parlor on a side street off downtown Bakerhaven’s Main Street.

Bakerhaven alcohol in beer cans transmits A Clue for the Puzzle Lady, Cora Felton, who tracks two killers through off- and on-site tipples and off-site trophies.
