Listened to the nutrition program, and laughed about the "food porn" comment. As I had mentioned before I had been collecting cook books, but when I was packing to move, I knew the books were taking up too much space; heavy and had to lighten the load. The French Laundry cookbook is the one I still have, where I can find it; the rest are in boxes.
I do what you mentioned; I get a sense of the recipe, and then do my own thing with it; if I don't have all the actual ingredients. I would like to take a cooking class, or two; it would be fun.
I enjoyed listening to your recorded talk, but it made me miss you even more. It does feel like I am trying to communicate past enemy lines. I wish you would not follow every little rule, but if it meant back to square one; I certainly understand that. I miss you so much. It has been so long since I have spoken to you. Be well, sweet one.
