I'm one who loved her fiction first and resorted to her nonfiction when I had read and reread all of her fiction and knew, sadly, there was no more to come. My husband and I both love her food writing. I don't like to keep her books in the kitchen where they might get food spills on them, so maybe I should get the e-books for using the recipes!Laurie Chttp://baystatera.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-61570226140731040562014-12-07T14:17:14.889-05:002014-12-07T14:17:14.889-05:00Can't wait to get to this one!Can't wait to get to this one!Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-25472294699147927992014-12-07T12:22:49.821-05:002014-12-07T12:22:49.821-05:00Les - Sorry blogger is giving you a hard time toda...Les - Sorry blogger is giving you a hard time today :(<br />There have been mixed reviews on Colwin's fiction.

For our Thanksgiving, we have the same menu every year...sometimes someone will try to change something up and everyone revolts....every time!

When I was reading a diary from the 1980s, the writer was talking about balsamic vinegar as something so new and exotic.
