I never mulled over a post, except maybe a slight change in grammar. . It would be too difficult to do it otherwise. What I hated were the food " design" and photos. I had not patience for that. <br /><br />I loved getting comments from you which I opened with great excitement and trepidation; <br />For somewhere in that well thought out comment the suggestion of a change or tweak was coming. I even anticipated them...as in the Ottolenghi recipe. In the end it was flattering for at least I knew someone out there was paying attention!<br /><br />I'm not going away dear friend. Just taking a much needed rest to figure out what comes next. If nothing else, I'll have plenty of time on my hands. MErry Christmas! And thank you for this beautiful note.lindaraxahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721286284279902181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323849547147404211.post-40782178883439948602016-12-24T15:04:37.794-05:002016-12-24T15:04:37.794-05:00So then, it would seem that once again, "the ...So then, it would seem that once again, "the gods that rule this universe think little of mortal's cares.." to quote the introductory verse of Cole Porter's more rueful songs. Julieta recovers from her neck and back surgery, only to fall down the stairs. And while she contemplates another 6 to 8 weeks in a cast, the thought of continuing her blog begins to feel burdensome--and who can blame her?<br /><br />That Lindaraxa is much more than a food blog, was apparent from day one. These were weekly essays on the art of living stylishly, but key to their appeal was a refreshing lack of pomposity. <br />Indeed, the author rarely admonished her readers or talked down to them-- though I do recall her injecting a note of impatience within an Ottolenghi recipe for braised chicken thighs: "People! Do not remove the skin, it is the only fat in this dish." Naturally, she was right.<br /><br />What we learned from Julieta was, above all else, the art of conversation--her posts were the equivalent of a rewarding chat with a friend. That engaging style, so civilised and warm, was proof, if it were needed, that good taste and kindness can coexist. <br /><br />Well! This wasn't intended as a funeral oration. And dear Julieta, while you are convalescing, do have a notebook at your side. There is so much more that you can share, and we would welcome a comeback one day...<br /><br /><br /> Toby Worthingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04494294732826925579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323849547147404211.post-50613010563924473182016-12-23T16:37:54.451-05:002016-12-23T16:37:54.451-05:00And although not an architect or famous designer, ...And although not an architect or famous designer, I have always enjoyed yours.
