Sandy Peckinpah. Hello. Nicole Akers recently introduced us. I wanted to send her an @ on this response to you. Nicole explained in her book how to do the deal for her unique @ (from her long ago user name change) but dang… I am just at the farmers market and of course the book is at home. Sure would appreciate you sending her an @ on our connect. It was so kind of her to recommend you and some others to me.

Now…this wonderful post of yours on a signature something. I loved it and read every word! I cannot wait to make your pesto. Pecans and not pine nuts? Brill.

We share, among other things I bet, Italian pesto memories that are…soul imprintable. Mine were in the Cinque Terre. Beauty and yum all combined.

My own signature something: lobster rolls. Will be happy to share a recipe if you don’t have any shellfish allergies.

Sandy, I totally agree with you about the nurturing qualities of all aspects of food preparation. As you knowingly wrote:

it just makes people happy.

Enjoy your weekend and hope we can stay in touch.
