Such nice analogies, love and warmth here, Cryssa, and very well done, I have to say like good bread. The trade in verbage is very neatly done, and I like the final rising at the end....Jerry

And 14 dozen donuts, besides...

I love your play with words. You get that from Dad... There's a bit of both of them in here, then.

Every time I imagine Mom with dough, though, I can't help but see the rows and rows of little O's, plumping up on the long, long table, and five on a chop-stick ready for the wok, five in the wok, turning crispy gold, and five more on another chop-stick, dripping extra glaze back in to the silver, dented bowl, and five more drying on the rack, and five more...

Can it really have been a year and a half now? Sometimes I miss her soo much! --Charlie
