We journeyed across the street to our dear neighbors, Joan the Poet and Ike the Coomunicator Loveridge-Sanbonmatu's house for a pre-Mardi Gras dinner with other friends. After an assortment of snacks we feasted on shrimp jambalaya over rice. Along with a "guest" surprise salad!

Ike told us that if we did not have our regular daily supply of white rice we would go into a terrible "rice depression" that is afflicting people all over the USA! Maybe that is why I have been acting "funny" all these years; more rice, less pasta, please!!

Dessert was Joan's special and favorite Lemon Lulu Cake. Wow, what a treat!

Joan and Ike were in town to do a reading-sermon at the Unitarian Church in Rutland as a prelude to their national tour of their new book recoounting Ike's experiences as a young Japanese-American forced into an internment camp during WWII. With all the present abuses going on during this "War on Terror" their book about how the US government created shameful situations in the name of liberty are well worth remembering. I hope we can get them to do a reading here in Poultney.

Stay tuned for more exciting news and interesting information from our local East Poultney authors.
