Ah, togetherness.

But, isn’t it interesting? I think
we've really got a handle on the
future when kids are busy prepar-
ing a family dinner, or, like my
youngest and her boyfriend were
doing all Sunday afternoon —
cleaning my house.

And the same day, the middle
daughter and boyfriend spent the
evening watching a rented video —
the four-hour Australian mini-
series, A Town Like Alice, based
on one of their favorite books by
the author Neville Shute.

The fact that. they read is
wonderful. The fact that they read
Neville Shute is quite amazing as
he’s hardly contemporary.

But the funny part of it all is
that A Town Like Alice is one of
my favorite books. Since Geoff
and 1 share a similar taste in
books, I tucked it into the top of
his Christmas stocking last year.
He insisted Suzy read it. Thus, two
kids were enmeshed in a movie.
Maybe I should reconsider my
position on stockings!

And, now, to recipes. However,
must tell you one of the most dif-
ficult jobs in the world =- how do
you coach a newcomer in the
variations of gravy-making over
the telephone?

When a young reader called me I
found myself asking, ‘‘What’s left
in the pan - guck or goo?” |
decided that her problem was
definitely ‘‘guck”’ and proceeded
from there.
