Maier Lemons, indeed!
August 13th, 2007
After a really tough week it’s absolutely heartening to open the mailbox and find a letter from a friend far away. How much more wonderful, then, is it to open the letter and find that it is a little work of art, a unique way chosen to give you a recipe you wanted?
If you remember, a couple visited me from Switzerland a little while back and Jon made a lemon and mint butter sauce for green beans. I told you I’d share when I got it, and today I did.
This is what I found when I opened the envelope.
And this is what slipped out of the little holder. The yellow strip is a bookmark that carries the shopping list for making the dish. Now how beautiful is this? Pretty terrific, yes? And the beans were delicious beyond description.
Thank you, Jessica!

Those are very fun collages and so thoughtful :-) A little sunshine for your days. How’s the drying out coming along, btw. I keep thinking about you and your house.

I’m down to dried on mud and waiting for someone to be available to start the clean-up. It is the highest vacation time of the Italian year. Hmmph.
