She is the only writer I know, who inspires food lust. I particularly love the piece where the idiot friend ruins her lamb curry. I wanted to boil him alive.. Aside from MFK... are stories by Gerald Durrell when he was young living on the isle of Corfu. It inspired a Greek food period in our lives. Tells you how long ago we read it. ..I wish your cold a short life...take care...cg From leighann@shell9.ba.best.com Fri Jan 30 21:17:52 1998 Received: from proxy1.ba.best.com (root@proxy1.ba.best.com [206.184.139.12]) by shell9.ba.best.com (8.8.8/8.8.BEST) with ESMTP id VAA20525 for ; Fri, 30 Jan 1998 21:16:54 -0800 (PST) Received: from shell9.ba.best.com (root@shell9.ba.best.com [206.184.139.140]) by proxy1.ba.best.com (8.8.8/8.8.BEST) with ESMTP id VAA02842 for ; Fri, 30 Jan 1998 21:15:55 -0800 (PST) Received: (from leighann@localhost) by shell9.ba.best.com (8.8.8/8.8.BEST) id VAA20291; Fri, 30 Jan 1998 21:15:20 -0800 (PST) From: Leigh Ann Hussey Message-Id: <199801310515.VAA20291@shell9.ba.best.com> Subject: Re: yes In-Reply-To: from "AnneDwife@aol.com" at "Jan 30, 98 09:36:36 pm" To: AnneDwife@aol.com Date: Fri, 30 Jan 1998 21:15:20 -0800 (PST) Cc: leighann@best.com, Fogobum@aol.com X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL32 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Status: RO > Somehow we will be there, either boarding the puppies in Vancouver or with a > friend in the bay area.We will be cooking and a cookbook is a solid YES. Woohoooooo! *bounce bounce* Boy oh boy oh boy. So, I suspect you won't need me to inspire recipes for you, since you're as nuts about her as I am.
