I know what you mean. It’s like, more than one person can have the “World’s Best Mom” mug, and it is still valid. Why else would they sell more than one?

(of course, in saying my mom is the best, I don’t mean that your mom isn’t the best for you! you all know what I’m saying…)

I know you’ll have great culinary adventures of your own once you’re in your own kitchen full-time, and then you’ll have to tell us all about your discoveries and favorite things!

I do get to work from home, and I couldn’t be more thankful for that. It really is an ideal situation.

I like seeing friends’ parents too–it’s always fascinating to see what resemblances there are. I think my mom is just the best. She’s been through quite a bit in her life but is a positive, passionate, hilarious person. She’s just a lot of fun to be around, and everything good that I do is because of her and my dad. The bad things, I’ll take the blame for!

I’m delighted to hear that you’re reinvigorated on your book. Yes, the old adage about not quitting one’s day job is relevant in that we all can use a paycheck, but at the same time, it is all too easy to forget about one’s “night” job. So yay for keeping your writing going. I admire that so much.

So for your “real” job you get to work from home? I guess you obviously aren’t working from CA.

You know, I keep learning all these great food things from you and Sabrina. I can’t actually implement most of them right now, but I will have to remember for when I life at home again regularly and have time to devote to culinary adventures. Fried, non-melting cheese! Now even that is something Seth would be happy to experiment with.
And I’ve eaten honey my whole life, but I’ve never encountered raw honey like you’re describing. My local farmers market has a honey booth, maybe I can see if they have what you’re describing.

Other than that, I just want to say that your mom is adorable! I love seeing (or better yet meeting) my friends’ parents. It is a weird little quirk of mine.

Temporally–I like it. Thanks!

I’ll keep an eye out for that other cheese; sounds like something fun to try. You are right on the money about fried cheese. There’s just something wonderful about it.

temporally?

I am a fan of raw honey too. Also, you can get a similar (ish, I think) frying cheese near the ricotta and tortillas and other refrigerated ethnic stuff at Wal-Mart. Not that I recommend any of that for health or environmentalism. But there really isn’t anything quite like hot, fried cheese.

I work for a marketing company based out of California. It’s a good job, and I enjoy what I do.

I think you’re right about the detox. I think my body is just over it.

You know, I still haven’t used the teapot! Jesse isn’t a big tea drinker, so I usually just warm up a cup of water in the microwave. I think it just sprays steam or something out of its little nose. I will have to see. (I guess pigs don’t really do that either…)

What’s your “real job”?

Maybe your body is telling you that you don’t need to go through the entire forty-day program again. You know, I was reading somewhere the other day about how detoxing can actually be very bad for your body because along with unwanted and toxic materials, you might be getting rid of good bacteria and such. Not that what you’re doing is necessarily detox, but that just popped into my head.

Cute teapot, by the way. So, if it doesn’t whistle, how do you know when the water’s boiling?
