I woke up still rattled by the 2 a.m. messages from my well-intentioned but definitely all-over-the-map sibling, so...
I immediately messaged a friend here I haven't seen in a while. I *love* cooking for others, but haven't had much of a chance, with my own "people" away for two years.
Now, to celebrate her new job & apartment, I'll be hopping over with a cast iron skillet in two weeks to make a decadent lunch with wine & dessert. 🤞
Could not be happier to have something to look forward to.
This is kind and generous.
Have to think what kind of tricks I could perform to deserve the treat :--)
So, stranger responds to a toot and goes to a party and takes home a beautiful, delicious tray ... and a new novel unfolds, the past comes to life, the present gets surprising and the future, oh, well, we'll keep turning the page :--)
