Archibald “Archy” McNally is a flamboyant, funny and extra-ordinaire sleuth character created by Lawrence Sanders for McNally series of books.
What have I learned about Archy?
In the series, food preparation and it’s taste description are given a lot of thought that I feel like the food I’m used to eating will not pass Archy’s sophisticated palate. He is a member of the Pelican Club.
He has been going out with Consuela for the longest time (at least in the book).
He goes for a swim across his home, which is actually a room in his parents’ big home. His mom loves begonias. His father is a revered lawyer who runs McNally and Son. They have cocktails before dinner. He has a sister in another state.

He drives a Miata.
He smokes English Ovals.

Looking at food photos do not just make me want to go run to the kitchen (ok the supermarket first to get the ingredient which I know I may not have) to cook up something that I know we will enjoy. Not that I am a great cook but what I prepare passes the standards of the kids. Well, we know how kids can be picky.
Anyway, looking at food photos make me think of reading diet pill reviews. Gah!
My food photos can be found here and here.
Now, I’m off to the kitchen to prepare the fresh tomatoes for the pasta 🙂
