Brilliant Confrères!
1. What are you cookin’ that makes you happy?
2. What’s the QUICKEST dish that makes you cheerful just thinking about eating it? Old E. Jean and the Conflab are up for anything and would love to try it!
Uh, is anybody else constipated?

Cookin' a BlueSky account, a Substack, a podcast (about Sherlock Holmes), and an acorn squash soup. Only constipated in the sense that my creativity cannot leave my body fast enough, apparently.
Dearest and most fabulous E. Jean,
I’m not cooking it yet, but I will be cooking an open house buffet for the Women’s National Book Association of New Orleans as a holiday party. I will be serving a high tea and my house cocktail, which I call « The Flannery » after Flannery O’Connor.
We will have a variety of cakes, finger foods, and fun.
For Thanksgiving, I will cook a small standard issue Thanksgiving dinner for my husband, our friend Bob, who has lived all over the world and speaks over a dozen languages, and me. My choices for that meal are entirely unexotic. But Thanksgiving is comfort food.
If you were in the vicinity, I would definitely invite you over.
I would love to have a better attitude. Right now, I don’t have one. Since I can’t have a better attitude, I may just have a better cocktail, write a better poem, and imagine a better day.
