I was just settling in with an afternoon cup of tea on a very gray and very Maine Sunday in November expecting to read at least 10,000 words of and about how you got here and where you are going and then you just stop? Is that fair?

Hey, where's my photo credit for that photo of you typing a college paper in our Brooklyn apartment? Seriously, very nice piece that brings back a lot of fond memories.

Great story with a very small overlap to my own. We hope to see you in Rome soon

They look a bit like Yorkshire pudding.

You make the same dough as for cinnamon rolls, but cut them into 1.5"-wide strips, brush with melted butter, stack 7 layers tall, cut into sections ~2-2.5" long, and stand on end in buttered muffin pans. You let them rise and then bake them. The individual "chips" peel off easily to be jammed (if you like) and eaten!
