I keep typing and erasing because all of my words sound dumb. The short unedited version: I’m sorry things have been hard. I’m grateful for your honesty. ❤️

Reading is something that makes me feel like “me,” too.

Love and Saffron is a sweet, quick read about friendship and food. (It would be funny if you’re the person who told me about that book.)

Thank you for your sweet, kind words, Laura. It means a lot.

I have not read Love and Saffron, so no -- you didn't hear it here. ;) Thanks for the recommendation! I'll check it out.

Ugh, so much loss and disruption to what’s meant to be a time of rest and rejuvenation can be doubly exhausting. I’m so sorry! Definitely adding the Christmas novel to my list and moving up The Life We’re Looking For. I loved Unreasonable Hospitality which was more about the restaurant world than the food itself and very much reminded me of The Bear. I loved Taste by Stanley Tucci. Would recommend the physical book for the recipes although his narration was a delight.

You are so right... I think it's all about life meeting expectations, right? Or how very much it does not (over and over again).

I am here for a restaurant-adjacent rec, so I'll be looking that one up! I am lightyears behind in TV viewing, but The Bear is "on my list" for... 2035, maybe?!? HA!

Stanley Tucci just has one of those voices, doesn't he?
