I love to read, now. My dad would roll-over if he heard me say that. I only started really reading when I went to college. I generally enjoy fiction, and actually that is how Brian and I met. We both love mysteries and were reading Robert Parker’s series when Brian put an ad in Boston Magazine looking for “Susan Silverman” aka Spencer’s girlfriend. I answered his ad (without the need to send the enforcer Hawk after him), we met and we married. Six months end to end!
What does all this have to do with Laurie’s wonderful book you say? I am getting to that. As I said I love to read. I have been involved with two lovely book clubs through the years. The first one, Bitches on Books, was about fifteen years ago. One of our members was a graphic designer who fashioned a great and appropriate letterhead logo. This fabulous group of women met once a month and focused on fiction, both current and classics. We would always serve great food, fun wine and have a ball. I miss those Bitches.

I’ve been baking since I was six. Well, if you count brownies out of a box. As I truly learned to bake, I become good, sometimes very good, but never great. My faults were standard ones: just a tad sloppy in measuring and often impatient as I rushed to complete the batter. Baking is said to be as much chemistry as cooking, so making mistakes about the relative proportions or the timing are routes to bad cookies. I know.
