I know many may feel it best to leave bedroom doors open at night, especially children's, but it's not. We have firewalls on our computers...think of that bedroom door as a firewall. Also, always have working smoke detectors and a designated family meeting place in case of a fire. Do you have those?

This Thanksgiving, try my favorite chocolate pie. I've used this recipe for decades, and it's still my favorite. Be warned: You'll be sneaking back into the kitchen for another slice! Find the recipe on my website at carolyntillery.com #carolyntillerydallas #riptidedallas #inmydallaskitchen

As soon as the temperatures start to drop, I'm in the kitchen making hearty dishes. Although Carne Guisada is a year-round staple in Texas, it's particularly delicious this time of year! #carolyntillerydallas #riptidedallas #inmydallaskitchen Find my recipe at carolyntillery.com

I'm an enormous fan of Elizabeth, Ron, Abrahim, and Joyce and their crime-solving adventures solved using their collective lifetimes of experience. Watch out, world; when "senior citizen" time hits, I'm going to be just like this gang! #carolyntillerydallas #riptidedallas #murderbooks

I love Murder by the Book in Houston! They sent me Elizabeth George's new Lynley novel as it arrived in the store. Unfortunately, having pneumonia has really knocked the wind out of my sails. Alas, Lynley and Havers will have to wait. #carolyntillerydallas #riptidedallas #murderbooks

Just being in the library makes me feel smarter! I visited our fabulous downtown library this morning on a research mission. The wonderful folks there are terrific. A special shout-out to Donny Perry for helping me track down a story subject. #carolyntillerydallas #riptidedallas #dallaspubliclibrary
