This Week in Food.

Charlotte Charles' Apple Pie with Gruyere Crust 101 Cookbooks' Lemony Chickpea Salad (subbing zukes and cabbage for the tofu and kale)

Sydney helped make the dumplings. She wore my Martha apron.This week has been off-the-charts ridiculous, so I leave you with this. Another poem:

IF SOMEONE CRIED IN HEAVEN

If you cried in heaven, everyone

would laugh

for they would know you were just

kidding.
