Savvy, you have landed yet another beautiful, fast paced essay! This one is as much about food, as it is about friendship! The Fertility Ladoos had me in splits!

This made me both hungry and nostalgic! Was on the making side of lunch boxes for decades. No more, since the kids grew up and the spouse retired.
