This Month’s Film: Indochine
Cuisine: Vietnamese

Many moons ago, in a neighborhood not so far away, I started reseearch on two books, one on Japanese food, and the other a directory of American boarding schools that accept international students. Since that day, I have celebrated the winter holidays, moved all my belongings to a new residence and set up some semblance of orderly housekeeping, took a two-week vacation to the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas and Yosemite, planted a back-yard garden, made eight Asian dinners to accompany my monthly Dinner & a Movie project, and saw my son Will’s school year through to the end, including two chorale concerts, six performances of As You Like It, and a bridge made entirely of spaghetti.

And at long last, I am proud, relieved and ecstatic to say that my two books are finally finished….Just in time for my birthday on Wednesday.
