As the daughter of a mother who loved to cook, when she had time, and who also loved to write about food and its importance in bringing people together, today's article absolutely "sucked me in." I could smell and taste the chickens as you spoke about them, and I am ready to add a whole chicken to my shopping list for tomorrow, just to draw out the enjoyment I had reading your words. Many thanks! I plan to share your piece, always in hope of brining more good people to Napa Vally Features! Have a great week!

Thank you, Tim. I am grateful to have access to Napa Valley Features, and I know that my newspaperman grandfather and his daughter, my mother, must be very pleased that you continue to make good journalism available, and that I am partaking! It is wonderful that my mother's words continue to inspire so many years after her departure from this plane. In April I will be going to Nashville Tennessee to attend the inaugural Les Dames D'Escoffier Intl. M.F.K. Fisher Symposium on Food Writing and Storytelling. Such fun and very exciting! Thank you for your ongoing support of her legacy!
