About the lamb. Back then, in the 'olden' days, lamb was the very cheapest meat you could buy in Ontario, Canada. And so I bought lamb. And although I could happily eat a bit of lamb every now and then, Ed has categorically refused to eat lamb for forever!!!
Good luck in your search.
Thanks Darienne. Congratulations on your time together! I'm 64 now, married coming up on 28 years only. But yes, amazing to look back on life. I was in terrible health for many years, until diagnosed properly some years ago (and then again with EDS a few years ago). I was up to 280, on a road to an early death. But per below, things have turned to the good.
Began cooking before 10, French food by 12 when my mom bought me La Technique and I worked it cover to cover (below, the famous "cream puff swans" from Christmas, when I was 13). I cooked the entire Christmas meal. Fluent by 14 owing all to my beloved teacher, Mme. Lewis, who took a damaged kid and made him, for all intents and purposes, her TA for all 6 periods by 9th grade in an attempt to keep me in school. Life was since then a wandering through many things and I have no regrets - currently swimming up to 7500 yards daily, in fantastic health, though I mourn this pretty ancient connection to "Frenchness". We'll see if I find my way back. All good.
Thanks for your post and again, all blessings for many years more.
