 I have been doing a lot of no cooking lately, and that’s a big challenge when you write a food blog. It all began a few months ago when my appetite deserted me, and that’s become my new normal. I have ideas about things to cook; I’ve been planning a post about making a deconstructed stuffed […]  I’m not sure how I was exposed, or when I contracted it, but I seem to have a serious case of scone fever. Every Saturday I wake up and feel compelled to make scones, and so I have. Good for me, because I’m starting to have a nice stash of scones in my freezer in case […]
 My friend Cathy just returned from Egypt, and brought me some Egyptian curry powder so that meant curry dinner. I’m not sure what makes Egyptian curry different from other curries, though I do know that curry is not a spice, but an amalgam of spices mixed together, and really refers to the dish itself; meat (or not) and […]  A few years ago I would have assured you (and myself) that I possessed great resilience; I would have stated it unequivocally and categorically.

I’ve followed the arc of this blog and please know I am not disappointed that you are not cooking. Your writing is what fills me up and it’s good to hear from you!

Wishing you a beautiful Spring!
Suheiry Feliciano - That Gilbert Gottfried line made me laugh out loud. I understand being hungry but not having an appetite. It’s a lousy feeling, but I know you’ll be inspired soon! I wish you the very best. I’m sorry about how your feeling, but this is still a great post!
nrlowell@comcast.net - Thanks Suheiry, always great to hear from you!
