I'm dying to know what the recipe actually is, but Janice is right--it doesn't matter; it's the object, the process, the recreation of a repeated moment.

Oh,...I missed the "not nature" directive. Oh, well. Like Sara, you inspired me to add mom's cranberry jello to my "Angry Ode," which, after reading Ruth's, will now be known as my "Truth-Telling Ode." <br /><br />I can related so much to this poem and your comments. I got a funny look from a chef who asked what I would pick if I could only eat from one genre of Mary Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078793537148794310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320080607016581524.post-32001777825847964092021-11-26T08:49:29.901-05:002021-11-26T08:49:29.901-05:00Awwwww...I love this, from the singed edge to the ...Awwwww...I love this, from the singed edge to the recycled lunch menu to the fact that you don't even like the end result that much.
