I love that the illustrations for your client's calendars were so important that they necessitated an overseas visit and a translator (and a dinner a Nobu!) for quality control. Nice also to know that others share my preference for a wall calendar. Clever thinking on your husband's part to borrow a plastic lobster rather than have an Annie Hall home lobster experience. :-)
I am a wall calendar and a Daytimer calendar as well. I never get tired of which one to choose. The Paella recipe is now printed and waiting on clam season. Thank you!
What a fabulous story! You have such talent from kitchen to drawing board to keyboard. And the side note about saffron was quite enlightening, I had no clue. Sounds like you’d need a botanical garden’s worth of space for your crop.
I don’t particularly like getting older, but I do like the material markers of time, like paper calendars and clocks, both of which we have throughout our house. The illustrations on the calendar remind us of places we’ve visited, the clocks of the minutiae of daily life. Your lovely lobster with its little dish of butter reminds me of a delicious meal I enjoyed in Portland, Maine last fall, the paella recipe of another one years ago in Madrid. A new calendar or recipe is an invitation to plan, cook or dream. Thanks for another lovely post, Vicki! And Happy New Year!

And I thought paper calendars went the way of dinosaurs . . . thx for reminding me they didn't!
