    Thanks Carlos! I think it was so hard to write because I was in the same situation twenty years ago. It was therapeutic to do though. I appreciate the review.

    Thanks so much Mann!! I can't wait to read yours. Well, I have to wait because I've been so busy but probably tonight. I appreciate the kind words.

    A beautiful, magical story that is perfect for Christmas. It speaks of generosity and devotion along with surprises. I adore what you ended up with Addy! Toldja so!!!!

    I love this sentence, it sums up everything that happened nicely. How you correlated the the preparation of meat, and the neurological reaction of anger to the anthology theme was really great and unusual. The little view into a better future for Marc was the icing on the cake. Irri is right, this is one of your best stories. Thanks Addy!!! I wanted to use that chemical reaction as a metaphor and with your help, it worked. Besides, it combined two of my great loves, cooking and writing!!! I appreciate the kind words.
  7. Why thank you so much! I'm glad it brought something a little different to the table. You have to love/hate a brother a little bit, so that came through. I'm so glad. Thanks Sacredlove!

    What a fantastic review! I thank you so much, Gary. Writers try to paint a picture, or an emotional image, with words. I feel like I did that with you. That feels so good. I'm glad I fed you. As a cook and writer that is my objective! Yeah. I'm glad you're satiated.

    Oh Val, you had me biting my nails and freaking out. You did an awesome job of it. I was ready to jump on Santa's sleigh and hunt you down! It was a beautiful scene of how relationships are hard. Life gets in the way. We decide what matters and it resolves with love and care. Loved it! I couldn't wait, btw.

    Thanks Litlover! It is hard when you're going through a breakup to keep your self esteem intact. Marc is lucky to have a brother who cares for him that much.

    Maillard’s For the right chemical reaction to occur, the subject material must be subjected to a high application of heat. Carbonyl groups of sugars in the material react to amino groups of proteins forming an unstable formation called N-substituted glycosylamine. This chemical is the next step in a chain reaction that forms ketosamines due to a process called the Amadori rearrangement. Too much heat and carbonization occurs. Too little and these chain reactions will not happen. Hundreds
  14. Heat is an tool for setting off chain reactions in chemistry. Given the right amount of radiation and other set parameters, it causes radical changes in the subject material. We also are affected by heat, though of a different type. Watch as Marc experiences the kinds of changes he needs to move on with his life.
  15. I love Penguin and adore this story. Thanks for doing it Val! It's great.
  16. Happy Birthday Wayne!!! Hope you're having a great one!
  17. It is a really great story about ordinary guys with extraordinary hearts who navigate the expectations we have for others. Great review Tim! I love this story too!
  18. Happy Birthday! Hope you had a great day!
  19. Happy Birthday Gary! We love you! *smooch*
  20. I have heard that before, including from my hubby Randpy. He calls me a lazy writer for not expanding with more description. Anyway, I'm glad you're enjoying it. Thanks Ben!
  21. Haha! Yes! They will make it safely! Thanks Ray.
  22. Haha! You'll have to keep reading to see! Thanks Ray!
  23. Fantastic job Addy! The flow is perfect. The sense of betrayal is riveting and heart wrenching. Such an awful end to the journal story. Truly a sad and hard tale to tell. No wonder that guy is a mess. Thanks so much for sharing it.
