Emily, I so appreciated this post! The burned coil image - so poetic.
But yes, you don’t have to be a good cook to be a good mom. I know this because my mom has never once cooked for me. But it also reminds me of Arlene Francis, the woman I wrote my thesis on. She was a star and pioneer of early television and yet every interview she gave or magazine spread that she covered focused on whether or not she cooked for her child…
Thank you Caroline! Arlene Francis sounds so interesting! It's amazing the expectations we have for mothers. Makes me think of the novel by Bonnie Garmus, Lessons in Chemistry.
YES! It's a good story, not perfect but entertaining and thought provoking. I didn't know there was a show coming out. I'm interested to see how they handle the adaptation.

And remarkable how they’ve very much stayed the same! I’m behind on reading that one but I saw the trailer for the show and I’m super intrigued.
