Well, here I am. This, I never could have imagined. Living with her, Gaywynn. You know how they say that life is full of surprises. That life is unpredictable. That life never turns out like you thought it would. That’s a cliché, I know. I don’t even pay attention to it when someone says it. Well, I do now. Because it surely is. Unpredictable, I mean. I’m living in a small old house that’s highly in need of care in the middle of Cajun country about 2 ½ hours west of New Orleans with a woman I love who I never set eyes upon until I was 73.
This is a lovely piece...I'm pretty sure it was burning green chiles...just the air coming off those seeds can be lethal. OMG..she's actually adopting your joke style...love is kind of infectious like that. Glad you're cooking Ottolenghi, a fave -- not at all easy, but I didn't realize that risky! I'm glad you're you are so happy. And I'm looking forward to reading more of your writing, so please keep it coming!
I did! I laughed out loud! spluttered my first cup of coffee almost onto the computer. That was a good one, Gaywynn!

Fantastic! If you survived eggplant smoke, you two can survive anything. Wishing you both continued laughter!
I laughed too! I could hear your New York Times voice.
We read this while on drive home from Fl. Both of us hear your energy in your writing. First time I have laughed at an obit.
