Of course I remember you, Rosie! That trip was so fun, they all were. I wish we could do it all again. And yes, I love naples more each time I visit! My accident was horrible, I still struggle every day. I am happy when I can feel...happy! Xoxoxox m

Hi Marlena, not sure you remember me. I was on a cook’s tour with you and others in Campania years ago. I see you’re still a Naples fan! So wonderful. I was horrified to read about your accident. So glad to see you’re the same vivacious Marlena I remember. Love your newsletter!

Thank you for sharing your uplifting story of hope…and retail therapy. Everyone loves a happy ending—especially when it’s just the beginning. I miss you!

I remember with great fondness the day you brought that magic bag to Happy Valley and made Brick à l’Oeuf for us. A life changing afternoon!
