Sweet readers, we're taking the week off to catch up on some real-life work. In the meantime, we're re-posting some of our favorite recipes and essays. This one is from November 2008. Enjoy!
When: Fall, 1986
Where: A small suburban kitchen in Long Island, New York.
Who:
- Kris, a precocious, bespectacled eight-year-old who is already four feet taller than every single one of her peers.
- L, a Barbie-loving, bespectacled seven-year-old who is already much, much better at sports than her sister Kris.
- E, a somewhat adorable five-year-old who is already becoming the terror of his sisters and the neighborhood bullfrogs alike.
- Pa, a bearded, loving 37-year-old who’s already running out of culinary options, having been left to feed his children while his wife is stuck at work.
