I read your essay first, but I couldn't comment on it, because I felt overwhelmed by the truth and how many parts resonated with me. One sentece stayed with me: Because it gave me my label. Because I could now make sense of my world.
Thank you for sharing, northie and this isn't a mere phrase.
Ha, yes I'd prefer a red tailed fox too, but being through a dangerous situation creates a strong bond. Thank you for your comment, Gary, and never give up, never surrender!
Thank you, lomax61. I absolutely understand your feelings about photographs in recipe books, but in this case it's actually possible to make the cake look like the the one in the photograph, my cat is the witness.
