rice krispy treats are delish! my mother used to make them when i was a kid growing up in the 1950s. thanks for the memories! i was happy to write about you and your poetry for the glenside times chronicle which appeared as a Guest Column on the editorial page. hope you saw it. even tho the editor didn’t have room for the many lines of your poetry i quoted, i thought the article gave a good sense of the way you capture the audience w/your reading.

Comment on Interesting publishing opp, and yet…. by Ruth Deming

your comment re madras press reminds me of a bucks county poet named christopher bursk. great poet! great teacher (bux county comm college). i’d taken a couple of chris’s classes. instead of making a check out to chris, we make it out to his favorite charity. one year it was libertae rehab house for women in bristol, pa or thereabouts. they do wonderful work. however, it’s HIS favorite charity, not mine. i’d love to come to one of your mt airy poetry groups but i’m geographically challenged and rarely move beyond 20 minutes from home sweet home in willow grove. i gave up attending a lambertville, nj writers group – could not stand the long drive – and formed my own writer’s group at a willow grove coffeeshop at weinrich’s bakery. it gets all 8 or 10 of us writing and gets me, in particular, to present one new poem a month. for some reason, i used to be much more prolific than i am today. just wrote a poem for my mailman who just retired. you wrote a great one for your grandmother, also a letter carrier. i usually blog my poems but not my short stories or the one novel i just sent my online novelwriting teacher. am awaiting word.

Comment on Postcards! by Ruth Deming

great blog, autumn. just discovered it tonite. in fact, i’ll load it on mine own blogroll at my blog. it’s how i keep track of my favorite sites. actually, in the newspaper article i wrote about your reading at the EP library, i quoted some of your blog notes in the caption i wrote under your photo. i like to put new info under the caption that’s not included in the body of the article. spoke to the editor of montgomery news today, mike morsch, who said he sent my article to the times chronicle of j’town. hopefully they’ll publish the story. i’ll def’ly let you know when it occurs.

meanwhile i’m enjoying owning the 3 postcards i bought from you. it’s a good idea to SIGN THEM for people. i forgot about this when i bought em. i have lotsa books i’ve bought from local poets and they always autograf em.

Comment on Breakin’ out the bread machine by Ruth Deming

autumn, i began making homemade bread many yrs ago after my marriage. the marriage was a disaster – except for the 2 kids we produced – but i still make bread. in fact, i wanted to share the timeless technique w/others so i teach it at the abington library. i found your bread blog fascinating! in my classes i aim to dispel one’s Fear of Yeast. a suggestion for you. marketing depts want you to believe certain things about yeast that are totally untrue. just about ANY yeast will do for making bread. i buy fleischman’s in a jar b/c it’s economical. i use it for all my yeast breads and you can do it too. one scant tablespoon will make three breads, yes indeed! once that yeast gets rising, nothing short of freezing weather will stop it from growing. since tomro we’ll be snowed-in again, perhaps you might even try making another bread. the little mister will certainly approve. and so will the big mister. guys esp. love bread. when i bake my 3 loaves i give a whole one to my b/f and he goes wild and will do anything for me!

You should give us your top 10 cook books. I didn’t know about Baking Illustrated and I’m curious to know what other books would make the list. Just an idea.
