in response to your comment on my blog about blogger's recent shortcomings... i'm glad to see it isn't just something i'm messing up on! not that i'm happy it's happening to you or anything. but usually it's me making the technological mistakes :)

and in response to your comment about not much liking Essential Ingredients... i didn't care for it either! i'm not sure why Joy for Beginners was more enjoyable for me. the writing style is very similar - very flowy, lots of commas, lots of descriptions - but i found the characters to be more endearing.; May 30, 2011 at 7:23 PM
