We couldn’t be more thrilled… Jessamy, the fluffiest of the three kittens, all gray with stripes, has found a new home! And to one of our favorite families in the world, so we can keep track of her as she goes to her first prom, decides what to major in at college, you know the sort of thing.
Alice, we love you. Jessamy will be so happy with you, and our two families are united at last!

(serves several helpings to a hungry but ill little girl)
1 whole chicken (smallish)
3 carrots, sliced
3 stalks celery, sliced
3 parsnips, sliced
1 onion, quartered
1 handful dill
salt, pepper, bay leaves
large handful noodles
Place the chicken and everything else in a large stockpot and cover with cold water. Boil low for 2 hours. Strain everything through a colander over a smaller stockpot and pull off the good bits of chicken from the bones, and place them in the stock. Put stock back on stove and throw in noodles. Simmer for ten minutes, and when you see the stock bubble around the outside of the pot and leave a still pool in the center of the pot, scoop out everything in that center: that’s the fat.
By the end of ten minutes the soup will be ready for an immediate serving to the patient. But after she has her first bowl, add more celery and carrots and simmer until nicely cooked. The patient can have little servings throughout the rest of the day and night.

Can’t wait to see you and catch up — LOL — Jo
I know, Jo, I feel the same! We actually thought about it, but the quarantine is simply… unacceptable! We met a guy at the farmer’s market today — peach grower and a LIVING DOLL — and he and his girlfriend are shopping for a kitten, so fingers crossed!
We’ll need a LONG lunch at kulu kulu!
