What a blessing!
I think you should still join in the discussions – like me [who is also the only person who understands Jane Austen. LOL!! ;-) ]

Jokes aside.
Like a devoted cook I search for the right ingredients, the right spices, and with some effort try to maintain just the right temperature to cook it.

The result may not be to everyones taste, but still ***there is this passion, the time devoted, and especially the effort made.***

I thank Aeneas, Mary L, Mags and all those who have *made the same effort* to cook according to their own recipes (all those long posts) :-)

I also thank Tina B for her fast food comment. ;-)

I’m very proud to be the only person who understands Jane Austen. It is what makes me special.

I t applies to me – regarding Emma and to some extent Northanger Abbey. ;-)
And you are right about the soul part. It’s not just the head that’s involved :-)

I know I believe that!
