Also serendipitous that this is issue 1212 because 3 is my favorite number (and 12 too, because 1+2=3)!

And here I didn't think anyone looked at my issue numbers, I thought they were only for my brain!!

Super essay! It resonated so strongly with me - read it 3x and forwarded to my husband (highest praise!) For various reasons, I've been at home for the past several months and this week I finally had an opportunity to travel. So many new thoughts and ideas popped up just being out of my normal routine and walking on the beach. It was really refreshing!

"Refreshing" is EXACTLY the right word for that specific feeling — yes! I'm so glad you had that experience. And now you have me looking forward to my own next walk on the beach, wondering what it might hold. Thank you for your note, and for sending to your husband!

Thank you, Jill! I almost wrote that it's like a seven-layer dip, but that didn't feel especially relevant to Italian cuisine, lol. I appreciate you being here!
