Delightful!!!

mmmmmmmmmmm, make mine heavy on the Lamott
And it is healthy and low cal !!!!! I’ll take one !
I have some ingredients to locate! Yum!
awesome!
LOVE!
Ondaatje just gave a talk at a small fundraising party here in TO and he says that his books always start with moments—a girl, a horse, a farm; a boy walking through a field eating rhubarb; a nurse and a patient and sometimes that moment doesn’t happen until the middle of the book. He also said that he, too, misses his characters. oh- and that prose allows him to fill in the story more than poetry does ( although, gosh, his prose is so lyrical!)
I’d like mine with Anne Morrow Lindbergh sprinkles.
Yum. And don’t forget to sprinkle a little Rita Mae Brown on top for that special je ne sais quoi!
what fun! delish!
oh my gosh. i want this for breakfast, lunch dinner. second breakfast… midnight snack. . . !
Must try that recipe!
Yum!
Sounds like the perfect mix :-)
i remember hearing rita mae brown read years ago at uvm — i’d read her book rubyfruit jungle that past summer — ira allen chapel was packed and one of the things she said that i always remember is “if you are a writer, work with your hands because it frees your mind.”
you are beyond cute! Don’t recognize some of those names, but I love the quote and the pic.
smooch
And never hope more than you work….
Love it.
Yes! Just finished Anne Lamott–and starting Twyla Tharp. Wonderful when books can be both grounding and inspirational.
