 Why, you may wonder was I speaking to Kelly of Nevada, a representative of the NY Times, for nearly 19 minutes?

I was signing up - for $42 per year - for recipes from the Times, esp Tara Parker Pope, who is far more interesting than her recipes.

Olympia Dukakis, dead at 89. Star of Steel Magnolias, Moonstruck, and so many other highly acclaimed works. Once a Greek immigrant. Read about her here.
