Excellent. A joy to read and imagine, including your anger. I'm sorry about your plants, it's so disheartening to come home to problems. Dill grows quickly and just smelling my rosemary plants immediately relaxes me. Peace and love.

Once again, your writing, even in anger, even on something as common as a fish sandwich, shines. Every week my initial thought is, why should I read this, who cares about a random sandwich, and every week I am surprised and delighted at your ability to magically turn each essay into so much more.

Thank you.

Every week when I read these I wonder did you know when you planned this series that each sandwich would reveal a wealth of hidden social and political history? Was this all a brilliant plan or a the serendipitous results of a talented writer able to make fascinating essays out of any random subject? I loved this. I know unsolicited advice is a headache pill, but if you replant your meager potato harvest now you may get a lot of nice sized baby potatoes before winter.
