Thank you for transporting us to an amazing multi-day feast of sensory delights. There's a specific phrase that I loved in this piece: "...20 courses cooked by an astonishing woman who seems to laugh at time."

I have the Egg Spoon, gifted to me from my daughter! She almost exactly Fanny’s age & I am one year from Alice. That she has influenced our food for decades I add my tribute to her along w/ yours. She signed her first cookbook for me in Macy’s in the city ages ago & I have been her devotee ever since! And your food knowledge, expertise & humor have guided followers worldwide! Thank thank ; keep eating, cooking & writing. Your take on all things food is a wonder.

Very Best

And The Meadow at the YWCA on the corner. Dennis made nice lunches. Carrot juice. Daily bread. The cashier became my wife.

Ruth, what are you going to do in your next life? In mine, I wish to be you. Not just for your food opportunities, also for your way with words!!!

Very happy to see Taste of Country Cooking mentioned! Wonderful recipes, of course. I especially love the book for how much it told the story of a life, a particular place, an era. A lyrical and evocative book; an amazing human being.
