This is just brilliant, E! You capture the whole place, the house, the countryside, the spacious kitchen, the sharp but fragile old lady in bed. I had my own visitation (one can only call it that) at about the same time. I wish I could remember what we ate but I was so enraptured with the person I forgot to note it down. A mutual acquaintance (of yours and mine, I mean, he shall remain nameless) always referred to "going up to see Mary Frawntzes," as if the world would know whom he meant. I prefer your reference, quite simply to Mrs. Fisher.
Love all your stories, and recipes. Printed out this and got a great reception from all who tasted it, the cooked recipe I mean. I served the Tomato Provencales over linguine it was beautiful and delicious.
Now that the tomatoes are in abundance I plan to see it on everyting.
Enjoyed this little story so much. I’m entering my own 80th year in a few months. Glad I chose you today instead of the gloomy morning news. I wasted my gift of peaches from my friend on a pie this year, the reward was my granddaughter Sophia’s text, “the peach pie was awesome”!
I’ve ordered 2 of your drawings & look forward to getting them. I keep my old CL magazines so I can reread your segments.
