Still dark listening to politics and poaching eggs and toasting the rye bread that I made yesterday for the borscht. thinking of Elaine and Ann and David and our days together and our love of Jewish food all mother's cooking from all over the world. There was a wonderful,tiny Chinese resturant up on college where I learned to love Hunan type food. remembering shaking our heads over Israel and Plalestine then in the early 70's when we were still in out 20's and elaine barely in her 20's but always very grown up because of being the little single baby after the twins in her birth family. I was always remembering my mother whispering to Betty that Armameddon wuld come after the jews went home and they had already gone home. I must have been about eight then-Ann, David, Elaine were hearing different stories-they were Jews not Protestant christians.
