I buy Welch’s Grape Jelly. It’s an ethnic thing.

We do love you. But crying while you drive is not a good idea. Allstate will back me up on this one.

Here’s the thing about the marmalade recipes. They’re all just oranges, lemons, some rind and sugar. Basically you just make it up how you want it to taste.

Get crazy with it!

I don’t want to scare you. I had a friend who had persistent migraines and they thought she had MS. I am telling you this because it ends up she didn’t, and acupuncture cured her of her woes. And if you ever get a recipe for that marmalade, post it. I have a sack of blood oranges going to waste in my fridge. Next stop, teach classes in Seattle, I’ll take one.

And um, cooking an entire Thanksgiving while taking care of a toddler and stoking the fires of your career and your creative muscle at the same time? Of course you have a migraine!

Ummm, try a chiropractor. If that doesn’t work, I’m pretty good at some reflexology stuff (my daughters call it chinese finger medicine) that would probably do the trick. Headaches suck.

I’m sorry you cried because of me.

Okay, just because we’re in the getting to know each other stage, I might just google recipes all day long and send them to you. Because I get paid to do nothing all day, but still have to sit here and I LOOK for things to google.

And I have a recurring invisible friend headache as well. At the first sign, I take 6 advil (doctor suggested) and lay down until it’s gone. If I don’t do that, I’m screwed for days on end.

for the first time in like 10 years I am really and truly all excited about Thanksgiving… but only because I get to spend a couple days in a hotel room and walking along a cold windy beach. I’m looking forward to hearing about your lovely dinner though.

I’m getting nosebleeds!

You should buy a new cookbook to inspire you. One that specializes in something, like cooking with WINE.

I bet everyone’s mom has one of those signs in their kitchen that says “I love cooking with wine! Sometimes I even put it in the food.”

My mom does.

God I wish I had a marmalade recipe for you, but I am not very handy in the kitchen.

Could your headaches be related to your lady days? My friend Doris (I know. Bummer of a name for a 40 year old) gets terrible headaches and it’s related to water retention and hormones. It might also explain why you’re tearing up because you love us so much.

I love you too Melissa Lion!

I hear you about the kitchen inspiration. I mean, I do not consider nachos to be a meal, but Dane does so last night I added some broccoli and frijoles negros on the side a la Melissa Lion.

What I am saying is that you inspired ME. SO there. Pbbbbtttt.
