“ February
2009”
(Letter)
Since I started my recipe stories and web sites 4 years ago,
more readers have joined than I expected, and I have received
many favorable comments, which are greatly appreciated. I
will share some of my favorite reader comments below; but
first, I want to let you in on a couple of decisions I have
made for my site. I will be posting my stories less
frequently, but will include more recipes. I will also
occasionally change the theme for my stories.
One of
my resolutions for 2009 is to “clear the clutter.” That
includes getting rid of old magazines and articles that seemed
important at the time when I placed them aside to read
“later!” While going through a stack of these old magazines I
came across a copy of the story, "The Star Thrower,” by Loren
Eiseley. I share my morphed version
here.
In these overwhelming years of financial crisis, unemployment,
wars, etc, when it seems impossible for a single individual to
make a difference it reminded me that we may not be able to
change the world but we can indeed made a difference one
person at a time.
I have known many people who have quietly been changing the
world around them, maybe not in big ways that will get them on
the Oprah Show. Many of them will not even get their
story into print any other way, or even have an obituary
written about them – but they are the “unsung” heroes and
heroines who inspire me each and every day.
I
want to share that inspiration with you in future postings
through tales - true tales - about people I have known who
have made a difference in small ways without any pomp and
fanfare….
Now for some of my favorite comments from readers of my Recipe
Stories:
“Nice writing. You are on my RSS reader now so I can read
more from you down the road.” Thanks Alan.
“I love your recipes, but more than that I really enjoy
reading your stories.” Thank you.
“Hello, Your site is great. Regards” I am glad you like my
site Valintino
“ dear anjali, i enjoyed the story of you and your dad so
much….. looking forward to the recipes and more of your
letters.” Jenny Jo, I really appreciate your comments.
“Thank you for your fantastic web site. I am in Australia….”
Robyn, it is nice to hear from someone all the way from
Australia.
To Barbara M. Linda (and your kitty) and Azad. Thanks for all
your e-mails. It is always good to hear from you.
And also thanks to Bob (cousin and dear friend) “…of seeing
how private info, perceptions, whatever, can be isolated and
repackaged (what a barbarous word!) as successive,
random-access windows…on a world now lost without having to go
whole hog in formal tomes or the umpteen volumes of something
like A la recherche des choses perdues….(in search of lost
things…) I really appreciated seeing pictures of Gita's father
as a younger man, not to mention that of her school, legendary
in my imagination for nearly forty years.”
Jules, I
hope you received the
chicken recipes
I
e-mailed you. You had requested some recipes for your
daughter who likes chicken. You had also inquired: “… I am
not sure how to convert recipes to the smaller cooker for her.
Also is the cooking time different due to the smaller size.
Thanks.”
Ingrid,
I hope you enjoyed the
recipes
you had
requested: “Do you have a good chicken curry dish without
nuts, but fruit?”
For those of you who made the following comments, I will try
and include recipes to your taste:
“I would love for you to post more everday punjabi indian
recipes or other indian recipes.
“I would like to find out if you have any good crock pot
recipes that have Indian ingredients.”
“Love curried chicken with all kinds of fruit, cherries,
cranberries, ginger pieces, etc.“
"I just wanted to tell you how much I look
forward to preparing several of your recipes. I've printed
out several of them and they sound wonderful! Thanks for
sharing!!" Thanks Elaine and do let me know how they
turn out.
“I just read your Steve and Madeline post.
Please keep writing, that was very touching. I will bookmark
and follow you. Kind regards.” Thanks Orchid, and you know
right after I received your note I came across a cutting from
among my papers about Madelyn. She was born in New York city
in 1902 and died on Aug. 6 1974. She moved to Alaska in 1947
and married Steve in 1950
U nfortunately the reader who asked, “Could you send me a simple
recipe for a very hot curry sauce,” I tried to e-mail some
recipes but the email was undeliverable. I am going to include
these recipes in this edition. Hopefully she will be able to read these via the
site.
And…
In August of last year a relative I have not met in almost
forty five years, who now lives in Australia connected with me
through this site! Hi Mohan.
Besides the links above I am including
some soups and stews
that Dan and I have been enjoying this winter. Also some
recipes
I will
be using for our Anniversary on April 1st.
Enjoy engaging stories and great recipes
like the one above by Email.
