trailing behind. Once I was excited to meet her -- but alas, she didn't come to the door when I delivered an item she'd loaned my office. She said through the intercom to just leave it on the stoop. That sprightly voice wowed me though!

..that same Atlantic accent and distinctive voice. She really is an American gem...

Im going to deglaze everything with red wine now.

..sent him the recipe. Her recipe is still out there in Google-land. The sauce has chopped walnuts instead of meat...but after watching the Kids Baking Championship for years all I can say is Toast your Nuts!

I refuse to chop up a live lobster however (or skin an eel) "nail its head to a board take pliers and pull the skin all the way off'

they are just such an adorable pair, and the conversation is so much more than sharing recipes.

aside- my family happened to be in bar harbor when she died.
the whole town went into mourning.

it was a bit like being invited to the funeral.
always loved her but never occurred to me i'd ever get even that close.

made the lobster all the more memorable, that's fersher.

…quote. When handling hot pasta with bare hands, she is said to have remarked-

“These damn things are hotter than a stiff cock!”

I remember being most surprised when I read that passage.

... what if they had made cooking shows together?

It would have been so awesome.
