What a lovely visit with Lydia and Nick. They are such good people. We have been fortunate to have their leadership in Nashville for so long. Thank you for reconnecting us to them!! Irwin Fisher

Loved reading about your life during Covid19. I am reading Grant’s letters to his wife, Julia and I was very interested in your reading suggestions. Definitely will seek out ” On Liberty”, by John Stuart Mill. I have been very isolated, but swimming this summer has helped my general feeling of well-being. People really need to socialize and lack of that is very difficult to endure. Yet, I know good people are out there struggling with the same problems we are facing.

In reply to Judy.

Hey Judy, So glad to read this. Am happy to hear from you and to know you’re enjoying Weight of Ink with Kelly, and I fully endorse the Audible version of the book, read by Corrie James, if you are listening to it. It requires performing in English, American English, Portuguese, German, Yiddish, and probably a few languages I’ve forgotten. I was very impressed! Happy you are visiting your sons and grandkids, and curious to know what that kind of travel has involved for you right now. Happy to send you the keftedes recipe. You’ll love the flavor combo. And I forgot to mention lemon. No Greek dish accomplished without lemon! Bon Voyage, Lydia

Reading this makes me miss Lydia. We cook together with a marvelous group of women at The Nashville Food Project. When someone recommends a book, I find myself thinking of that person a lot while reading it. Such is the case with The Weight of Ink, recommended to me by Lydia. My husband and I are enjoying listening to it while we travel the Southeast visiting our sons and grandchildren.

Like Nick, I have enjoyed finding my introvert side, a side I didn’t know existed.

There were lots of comments to relate to in this interview. Thanks for the visit!

Oh, and I’d love to learn how to make tomato sauce with cinnamon, mint, and oregano. That’s a new combo of flavors for me.
