In the kitchen…

Underway are experiments using white chocolate. Need volunteers to eat same.

Classes are forming in April, May and June. I’m looking for an interactive calendar that will show the days that are available. Any suggestions?

The more things change the more they remain the same

Yes, I can say that in French, but since I write in English from Italy why bring another language into it?

Two different things have been happening here. I have been moaning in public about the quitting smoking thing, so I will only mention in passing that I was worshiped for that by an old friend this morning, who then began gushing advice which included “Avoid people who smoke and stay home for a while.” This after complaining he hadn’t seen me in over two weeks and while he was smoking a cigarette.

The other thing is accidental and mad. A month ago I would have said my hair was going white all over. We’ve all heard those stories, right? But they can’t be true, because hair that is colored today may fall out and be replaced by white hair, but without chemicals that hair will not turn white itself. Still, probably because my hair is very short and gets cut very often, it seemed almost to go white in the blink of an eye. I’ve had a white streak over my right eye since 23, and I suspected that it had gotten larger than that strip I allowed no one to color ever, but I did not know for sure. I could see that something was changing fast, faster than the four weeks between cuts. So I decided to let it happen and within a month it was over.

And no one can believe it’s my hair. Including me some days. I have a snowy halo around my face and a crown of taupey pink and white mixed. It looks like the most talented colorist has done something rare and expensive. I admit to nothing.

At my age neither of my parents was very gray, let alone white. This is a special treat reserved just for me.
