Comment on Spaghetti … With Love by Janell

My son made Mother’s version a week ago for the new group of college chums he shares a home with to great reviews. My recipe is nice too — though more time consuming to make, it’s good for four to six meals — one for now, and the rest of the sauce goes in the freezer for later. Separate containers for each future meal. How easy is that?– so perfect for heavy gardening days. Or lazy cooking days, which I confess, to having more than my share…

How special that you have handwritten recipes of your great-grandmother. I have my maternal grandmother’s cookbook, but never knew either of my greats.

Handwritten recipes are so special. I have some from my great-grandma that I keep in a wooden recipe box. I will have to give this a try. I’ve been craving old fashioned spaghetti and meatballs a lot lately.

Comment on Midnight’s Children: Half-Time Report by Janell

I wonder how many of us read-along ‘reporters” considered our words not up to task, in expressing thoughts and feelings on Midnight’s Children, at this half-way point?

My post felt long on reporting and short on reactions. Rambling rather than concise. Whereas, I felt you and the rest succeeded where I fell short…

Like Saleem, I “can be quite tough in my self-judgments when I choose.”

Yet, though difficult to write while thoughts are still incubating, I’m glad for the sharing through progress reports. Already my reading experience has been enriched by others perspective. And I sense the additional lens of insight — offered by you and the rest — will bless my reading experience through the final word.

Sure glad you joined the reading group.
