He bodyguards a CEO and childhood friend on a trip to a conference in Hawaii. Once there, they discover there&#8217;s just one bed in her suite at the hotel. Sexy shenanigans ensue. It&#8217;s out today. I loved it. You can check out my <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywaffle.com\/stage1\/2019\/10\/14\/book-review-moonlighter-by-sarina-bowen\/\">4-star review<\/a> here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But we&#8217;re here to talk about homemade cheese crackers. At one point in the book, Bayer visits his dad and brother at a social club and orders warm cheddar crackers and a ginger ale. It&#8217;s a minor detail, but the first thing I thought was, well, I certainly wouldn&#8217;t kick Bayer out of bed for eating crackers. LOL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"987\" src=\"https:\/\/dailywaffle.com\/stage1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/moonlighter-with-cheddar-crackers.jpg\" alt=\"Moonlighter book cover on ipad next to a bowl of homemade cheese crackers.\" class=\"lazyload_inited wp-image-18682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailywaffle.com\/stage1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/moonlighter-with-cheddar-crackers.jpg 740w, https:\/\/dailywaffle.com\/stage1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/moonlighter-with-cheddar-crackers-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/dailywaffle.com\/stage1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/moonlighter-with-cheddar-crackers-450x600.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you could just buy a box of Cheez-Its, but if you want to replicate what they might serve in a fancy-pants social club, they&#8217;re not heating up Cheez-Its, know what I mean?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;ve never tried making your own <a href=\"https:\/\/tasty.co\/recipe\/homemade-cheese-crackers\">cheese crackers<\/a> at home, they&#8217;re dead simple.
