“It is an uneasy lot at best, to be what we call highly taught and yet not to enjoy: to be present at this great spectacle of life and never to be liberated from a small hungry shivering self–never to be fully possessed by the glory we behold, never to have our consciousness rapturously transformed into the vividness of a thought, the ardor of a passion, the energy of an action, but always to be scholarly and uninspired, ambitious and timid, scrupulous and dim-sighted.”
- George Eliot, Middlemarch

HI Emily,
I have this book by my bedside….have not read it yet but will get to it. So many books so little time. Your Mexican rice sounds delicious!

It’s an amazing book. Really. It’s taking me forever to read, though, at about a page a night.;-) Perhaps I’ll be able to move faster during the summer…
Hi Emily and Kathy,
I miss you guys so much, always making comments on the blog.
Yes, I LOVE grilling in the summer. It has been so cool here, that I’m not into it yet!! It is a nice temp. for yard work though.
Tell you MA that she is welcome to pop in and say HI on the blog during the summer!!
