Shuna, Yes, you caught a taste of the difficult flavours of love and loss embedded in the stew. Can you not send your crush one of your glorious desserts? Surely that would do the trick! :) Aza,

The Is so much going on in all the food everywhere, but especially between those in crush and in love.

(http://recipesfortrouble.com/2007/01/the-light-slowly-returning/) A couple of weeks ago, I made a huge pot and froze most of it (it lasts forever). But last night I spontaneously invited a friend for dinner and pulled several containers out of the freezer. Bread from the local health food store, parmesan cheese sprinkled on top, salad full of nuts and dried fruit, my favourite homemade vinigrette (I substitute half the olive oil for vegetable broth these days -- I never did like the taste of too much olive oil). And squares of fair trade dark chocolate with orange and spices for dessert. A perfect Shabbat dinner -- the candles glowing in the background. And I've promised a friend who's getting married this week to make her a pot of the soup for 12 people she has to feed during the week. The soup has become a gift.
