COMMENTS

Will you make some of your green lasagna? - See Autumn Spring Season 2, Episode 4, "Brandy Learns To Cook" for the full story behind her famous green lasagna.

I like your green lamazya - Kids often have a very interesting way of mispronouncing words as they're first learning and then fine-tuning their own speaking abilities, and the results are often memorable. I remember my own son doing it way back when he was five, saying psgetti instead of "spaghetti," and my grandnephew's boys are currently having the same trouble. On the side but related, many decades ago I clipped out and saved from Reader's Digest a supposed kid's recipe for "skabetti" from one of its many articles. It's disappeared with the passing of time, but I seem to recall that the very first ingredient called for "40 meatballs as big as your fist."(laugh) Kids can be so wonderful in their own way at times.

before my vacation's over - Don't forget, Brandy's going to be staying with her daughter's family for two weeks as she takes a break from her singing career.

We won't let you forget, Nana - You can hear that mostly one-sided conversation now, can't you? "Is it done yet?"/"No." "Is it done yet?"/"No." "Is it done yet?"/"No" .... XD

Grandpa Watts ... you always made it [green lasagna] special for him. - At his own request and usually on their wedding anniversaries, as established at the end of Autumn Spring's "Brandy Learns To Cook."

Will you tell us a story ...? - Okay, folks, here it comes. Everything up to this point has been setup for what I know you fans and other folks really want: more stories about Larry and Brandy while they were still young and together, if you know what I mean. I had to do the setup first, though, like any good storyteller would. Thanks for bearing with me.
