Thank you SO much. Not only have you helped avert a financial crisis, you’ve reaffirmed my faith in human nature. My sister is, of course, my sister, so she’s stuck with me. Sean Heather owed me money for a job I did for him (but he did ask if I wanted an advance on future jobs, which was sweet, and he made damn sure I got fed). You not only completely redesigned and vastly improved my blog for free, you donated cash. I literally cannot thank you enough.

I’m glad everything turned out okay.

But tomorrow I’m hitting Save On Meats, where they sell blue cheese so blue it’s practically indigo (and sentient) for three bucks a half-pound, and meats at prices that make you wonder if it’s not just something they caught and killed in the alley out back. And then I’m going to La Grotto del Formaggio, which is run by a very entertaining Italian family that cannot agree among them on what kind of cheese it is that you really want, but they all know it’s not the one you asked for and they’re damn well gonna give you some feedback on it.
