I think everyone can guess what we’re most thankful for this year . . . .
It’s incredible how important food has become, even more so than before — eating well means Delia’s happier and healthier, which in turn means Daphne is, too. Even one “off” meal of takeout seems to start a somewhat negative cycle, only to be corrected by something whole and homemade and whipped up with love. I did manage to slather a bird with mole (thinned with pickled fennel brine) and stuck it in a large cast-iron chicken fryer. It’s roasting away right now and is filling the house with great smells.
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody! We’ve got enough love floating around here to sate the planet!

Thanks everyone! I'm really touched, as is Delia, by the outpour of support, both in this forum and in private emails. HUGE meaning for us.
