So I bought it. I read it fast, sitting on the front steps while my children ate dinner. She wanted me to leave it so she could read it. I would not part with it. Too bad for her that she has a newborn baby to nurse.
Compassion only goes so far.
This was a great new cookbook and I had to take it home and start fantasizing about cooking. I saw myself sitting poolside, kids frolicking, table set with Waldorf Salad, Tomato and Onion Salad, Coleslaw, and German Potato Salad. We were all svelte, healthy, well fed, and suntan. No, no, my mind jumped around, it is lunchtime. We are all sitting at the table.
