Sonal forwarded me an announcement from the Times wedding section, on the TV chef we love to hate, Claudine Pépin, who gamely assists with cooking duties on the show hosted by her father, the venerable Jacques Pépin. According to the article, before venturing into the professional culinary world, the former Mlle. Pépin majored in international relations and had plans for a job at NATO. Who’d have guessed? Sonal retorts, “Especially because she is so ditzy. Like anyone would entrust the fate of the Transatlantic Alliance to someone who cannot even peel a carrot properly…” Ha.

Hello J,
Sometimes I watch this father and daughter team. Now I am thinking, if I had chosen to become a teacher, maybe the district supervisor would have assigned me to a different school so I wouldn’t be under my principal father. Maybe in a school in a remote area. That sounds scary. How do so many memories stay in our head?
You know I should be walking outside and enjoy the weather, but the internet also demands my time and attention. Reading the newspaper is now for 9:30 pm.
More next time… jt in SF
