Funeral Food, Update
A few people kindly asked that I update them on the impending death of my aunt. She went yesterday morning, peacefully, some of her family with her. The past two weeks she had never been alone, with dozens of family members and friends coming to see her often.
I appreciated all the contributions to my original thread on this subject including those from people who didn't actually like the thread, those comments gave me a perspective outside of my own, and it's always good to consider differing ideas.

Thanks for the link to your blog. A reminder that food, like love, intermingles itself with everything we do.

Sorry to hear of your loss, CatBoy. Thank you for giving us an update today and something to think about last week. Your original post really brought out a lot of heartfelt comments.

Catboy - thanks for the update and the link to your reflections on your aunt and funeral food. delightfully real. I've got to copy/paste that paragraph on the backhanded compliments. Reminds me of a few people I know. Your aunt's stuffing recipe is very much my own family's. Glad to have connected to your blog, which I'll continue to read.
