[...] – I could grow my own citrus. Nonna, whose parents live out in San Francisco, brought me back lemons from her father’s lemon trees that grow in their backyard. And no, I can’t imagine [...]

Ummmm. Lemon curd from scratch. That sounds delicious. Makes me dream of scones and tea in England. Not that I’ve ever had scones with lemon curd and tea in England, but it sounds nice.

Awww, thank you, thank you, thank you, Ms. Jenna! Dad will be so excited.
Olga, I will bring a lemon on Monday if I don’t forget and more when I go home sometime this spring. I haven’t cooked anything with persimmons, but I love to eat them fresh.

I really loved that cake – haven’t made it in awhile. If only Nonna could teleport back and fourth to San Fran every time I needed a lemon.

I never read Pamie religiously, but I was addicted to those Hissyfit forums all the way through college. It looks like Fametracker is still up (but is any of it new?): http://www.fametracker.com.

Also, I just signed up for Tara Ariano’s blog – she has some funny stuff on there: http://www.taraariano.com/

And I didn’t really realize until recently about the whole “Bravo Takes over Television Without Pity” controversy, but there’s a great write up on Wikipedia (check out their sources). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_Without_Pity

I still think of TWoP as Mighty Big TV, though.

I’m glad you’re feeling better! Yes, I’ll be at the next happy hour – wouldn’t miss it. I hope to see you there.

I am really sad too, but I promise I will continue reading you.

Ah the closing of the Hissyfit forums…..right up there with when Pamie ended her online journal (she started up again at some point, but it was never the same). I agree, I would love to see if any of your other commenters get that reference.
