Susan would like to thank Lucy Knisley for such an inspired, intimate, entertaining well-written and beautifully drawn book of personal stories. She made the recipe for chai tea right after reading it on her train ride home to Brooklyn (M train). She dreams of making butterflied leg of lamb. She's enjoying that dream and the prospect of its delicious reality!

lyrics

Recipe for remembering
assembling the lamb
Bringing together ingredients
mysteriously spans
Time and distance and whatever you call reality.
He's still there, She's still there, they're still there in the recipe

Who knew that
satiating your taste would help you
remember the face
the marinade that soaks, as the coals are stoked
so is the memory of his jokes
and the glint in his eye
as he served up the sides
for the lamb that he carved
so that you'd never starve
And the meals that sustained you
was the care that became you
in more ways you can dream of
And that’s how lamb equals love.

In the relishing of....
In the path from the stomach to the heart
You even can’t tell them apart.
