Just now getting a chance to respond. What a great report, Smithy. And what grand luck I had that you were in my neck o' the Central Texas woods. Meeting other eGullet folk has been one of the best delights of my recent geriatric life. Without exception, each one has been knowledgeable, friendly, personable and enjoyable. Not a dud in the bunch. And tops on that list is Smithy. Let me tell you, any of you that have an opportunity to meet her should grab it eagerly. She is a brilliant, fascinating, deeply-intelligent woman. It felt as though I were sitting down to dine with Marie Curie or Amelia Earheart or something. Oh, and the food was good, too!
