Darlings, At This Moment This Is THE Bookstore In Town!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                    Yesterday afternoon, before attending, of all things, a screening of "The Silence Of The Lambs," David and I stopped in at the Wild Sorrel Cookbooks Store.  Located at 332 East 13th Street, just several buildings down from CSC Theatre, this impressively curated establishment has been put together, by an obliging young man named Troy Chatterton.  Troy may be recognizable to some through his former capacity at Three Lives in the West Village.  Now, he has moved east (Of Eden?) and his store is a marvel of information on cooking of all varieties, catering both to aficionados and amateurs.  Even to those such as I whose ability in the kitchen is limited to making a cup of coffee!  But I do make FABULOUS coffee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                      Troy is such a fine young man, and he showed us around the store, whose selections impressed me.  Of course, there were titles I never would have heard of, and some even I was familiar with.  His boyfriend, Sam, was on hand to greet customers as a good host should, and he was charming.  I mean, girls, for those of you who are single, this could be the next best place in town to meet men!!!!!!!!!!  None of those sleazy gay bars--that is so retro '80's!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                        Interestingly, Troy offered me a piece of Sees chocolates.  My cousin Maureen happens to be married to their CEO, and lives on the West Coast.  And David, who is the kitchen master in this house, purchased two books from Troy's store.  I also noticed some luscious cookies placed out for all to enjoy, but I did not want anything in my stomach while viewing "The Silence Of The Lambs."

                                          Still, we had a lovely time, and I recommend a visit to Wild Sorrel.

                                          Congratulations, Troy, and may your tenancy there be a long one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                           Cooking will now become the new Pickle Ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
