Food

Yesterday morning I took a pie to the Dean's Office. Today I got this email from the Dean of Students, Jim Gash:

Lizz,

Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness and baking skills. My family
(and Katrina) loved it -- it was a special dessert last night after
dinner. If the whole law school thing doesn't work out, then you can
always fall back on your baking skills.

Jim



That makes me happy y'all. Apple pie was meant to be eaten by families.


And so is southern food.

Yesterda after the Contracts midterm, I went to the market to pick up meat for supper. Dave, Brendan, Jay, and myself continued our game of risk last night at 6:00 and Brendan was the first one out. I made my huge move out of Australia, sacrificing my army in South America to Dave [who has North America], and took over Asia [thank - you very much]. Plus, while playing risk, I made supper. I made fried pork chops, mashed potatoes, gravy, cornbread [from scratch too], and green beans. It was sooo good. At about 8:30 we quit playing risk and my kids [Debaters] Brendan [different Brendan], John, and Adam came over for supper. Jay stayed with us to eat. The other Brendan and Chelsea went out, and Dave went to Duke's. Supper was great...I'm tellin' ya'll...food makes a difference in people's lives. Mostly, high caloric consumption food...
