…satisfactory but missing a key ingredient

Emily has kindly written not only one, but two stories to Feasting Hearts, both with very different dispositions. The story below has all the elements of that special dish from a favourite loved one – the anticipation when you see the ingredients out in preparation, or when you come home and it is sitting on the kitchen counter ready for tomorrows lunch. And while you can do your best to replicate it on your own, as Emily reminds us, there is often a special touch that cannot be found in even the most descriptive of recipes.
