Lovely to hear from you, sweetie! I read your posts about the fires in your vicinity, and your awful luck on the medical side -- and just hope things look brighter now.
As for Joanne, I generally am more cautious -- that WAS a bit of a goof, though I have a sense that still wouldn't identify her. (I don't guarantee that is even her real name...)
And, hey, I'm tickled that you found my meme-response on cooking worthy of a reply. East LA roots mean you know your way around a poblano pepper. I'm from So Cal, myself, and my dad was from AZ. So he and his sisters taught my Chicago-born mom a lot about border cookery.
Dad died when I was only 10, but mom always made spaghetti "his way" as a caserole with layers of Mex-style beef chili sauce and Coahuila cheese.
She's gone now, too, but when we visited Calif. just after Christmas, my brother made the traditional spaghetti. (We also spent a week in AZ where we have a bunch of friends and relatives scattered all over -- and ate a lot of excellent Mexican meals. )
A vegan, huh? Several of my cousins and nieces are into that, too.
Nice to catch up, dear R2; hope your health is back so that you can see the Boyfriend sonetime soon. (Your hubby seems to have pretty helpful through your recovery...as, in fact. Joanne was during several small crises of mine. i guess we give them points for "being there"...)
