“When I was little, I couldn’t decide which of her recipes I loved the most – rice pudding, peach cobbler, sweet potato pie, or apple pie. I landed on rice pudding, but it was a close call.” Love this post!!

These were also my favorites, along with coconut cake. My dad’s rice pudding was something to look forward to!

Thank you for sharing the podcast "Louisa as Abolishonist" by your students. I am happy that a new generation is appreciating Louisa May Alcott. I loved how they expressed how experiencing Orchard House and the Robbins House greatly influenced their outlook.

I really enjoyed the chapter at the end! It actually left me wishing that I could see Lena and Theo’s argument/meeting itself instead of Lena recounting it, because the twist of him choosing to join would be even more fun. The cheerful/serious romantic pairing is a favorite of mine because the characters always have something to learn from each other.

Also the historical treats sound delicious.

I love the chapter! Lena and Andrea’s relationship is itself a sort of female romance. Reminds me of the dynamics of a close friendship I had in graduate school. This entire post is such a breath of fresh air so sorely needed.

Hi MissOmlettes, I liked the friends' relationship, too. I could see them, and I loved their outfits!
