Ruth, thank you so much for joining us. Although I gravitate to any book food-related, your memoirs are among the ones most gracefully written.
After plowing through Garlic and Sapphires (twice!) I was recently prompted to re-read Tender at the Bone and Comfort Me with Apples. I didn't notice the first time around the little notation that you had written someone calledMmmmmmm: a feastiary. Googling was of limited help, so I was wondering if you could tell me more about it? Was it a recipe book?

It's a cookbook I wrote when I was 21 and living in a loft on the Bowery with Doug. Published by Holt, Rinehart and WInston, with art by my friends on every page. It's been out of print for a million years, and is actually now quite valuable, if you can find a copy. To be honest, I still use a lot of the recipes....Ruth, thank you so much for joining us.

I always attempt to have the ratio of my intelligence to weight ratio be greater than one. But, I am from the midwest. I am sure you can now understand my life's conundrum.
