Well Mary, I love your kitchen. Both of them, no doubt. If you ever hit Vancouver, we'll happily cook for you. The wife's a true gourmet, who loves to laugh, and cook. And you're right, Life is not a Rom-com, it's what you make it.
Oof. This one got me Mary, as someone who lost early, and still long. And a dad who cancels because a daughter needs him. And you, who nourish because your heart needs too.
“His reason, so heartrending that love and death joined in my heart: His oldest daughter needed him.”
I love the way you play with 'credito' and 'finito' and that dish... There's a kind of Graecian Urn kind of thought being sparked in my head.
Jokingly, I was going to ask you for the metric version of the ingredients list for that delicious-looking meal. But then I fell into a mental rabbit hole about how different systems standards of measurement could apply to relationships. And no one wants to go there, do they?
Another comment that I missed! I bet I could get you the metric system list. Will think about that for "Cooking With Mary" that will come later. You read so well when thinking of relationships You are a find of a reader, Jeffrey.
Me too-even though I diss it a bit in the intro--and I rewatch it often ... xoxo Let me know how the mussels come out. It's one of my fail-safe easy recipes.
My dearest, I’m afraid it’s ‘P.S.’s all the way down. We just have to keep swimming and keeping our heads above water. Your ‘delete’ was wise and buoyant.
The wisdom of @<Mary L. Tabor> in her not always romcom life.

What a grand reader you are -- and I'm so grateful you found me, actually through another site where I partner: https://innerlifecollaborative.substack.com -- and I am also so grateful that I got to meet you and your lovely wife in person! xo
What goes into and comes out of the kitchen is much more important than the kitchen itself.
Absolutely right. I love this comment and so glad you found time to write it, lovely Matthew!
So, agree, Matthew, my new found reader.

I so understand from reading your moving memoir, Kimberly -- and for more reasons than the one I offer here.

I want to try this recipe, too! "PS I Love You" is one of my favorite movies. I still remember crying my eyes out the first time in theaters.

I am going to cook that.
Oh do tell, after you make it.
