Hope your health troubles don’t last long. I too was running evening errands when Obama spoke. I sat in the car and listened. The possibilities for the future are exciting.

I hope you feel better soon.

Wow, she looks so grown up. THe color of her dress is great for her and it really brings out her eyes. I never noticed they were so blue until now.

I have to get a new Laurel’s Kitchen! The cover is lost and the binding finally split in two. One of my favorites is the Tennessee Corn Pone. The Lentil Soup with red vinegar is also very tasty.

And I too have read that intro repeatedly! It really spoke to something in my life when my oldest was an infant and I was thinking about how my life plans were changing.

I don’t have the Greens (though I ate at the Greens when I was prg. with oldest, on New Year’s Eve in San Fran.) but I have some other Deborah Madison — I especially like the really big vegetarian one (the dal recipes are easy and good). The one about farmers markets is lovely but somehow has not connected with me. (Does that mean I have taken it to the used book store to sell? Of course not!)

Have you ever read Laurel’s Kitchen? I used to read the forward and introduction as therapy when I was in my 20’s. I don’t really know why, but it really touched me.

My favourite cookbooks right now are: The Herbfarm Cookbook (Jerry Traunfeld) and The Greens Cookbook (forget-her-name with Edward Espe Brown – the Tassajara Bread Man). I don’t make everything, but it all sounds so inspirational I WANT to.

Nice pictures, by the way. Sounds like a lovely lovely evening.

I’m sorry about your health. Yay Violet, what a wonderful experience. She looks absolutely gorgeous. So grown up! And your husband looks like a real, loving dear … in the last photo!
