I'm so pleased to hear you had a lovely time in Boston, my hometown. I know you don't make your own touring schedule, but assuming you have some input… I hope you'll channel that nice visit into a desire to come here for a book signing, or really any type of public visit, some day. There is a huge contingent of your fans around here, and we'd really love to meet you!

:-) Nicole Z

I loved the talk you gave. I couldn't stop laughing. It was such an honor to meet you. I blogged about it all here: http://happycakecrafts.blogspot.com/2010/10/fabulous-diana-gabaldon.html

Oh, at ESCA? Goodness, do I remember? Hmm…I _think_ it was called Satrico Casale; it was a blend of Sauvignon Blance, Chardonnay and Trebbiano grapes.

I think with oil, it's the bread ratio that's important. (After all, everyone knows oil and water don't mix! [d&r])

I haven't gotten the nerve to return yet this year, but eventually I'm sure my lust for handmade pasta with crab and sea urchin will win out. Glad you enjoyed yourself!

I confess to a small pang when you report that you were in Boston, as this long-time lurker has been waiting for years for your publishers to send you here for a stop on one of your tours. Glad you enjoyed your time here, and congrats on the success of The Exile.

I think sashimi is raw "untreated" fish whereas crudo and ceviche are "treated" (soaked or dressed in acidic stuff like vinegar or lemon juice that denature surface proteins). Might as well enjoy good seafood while it lasts. We may have to develop a taste for jellyfish the way current marine systems are declining. The depraved bumblebee description reminded me of John Belushi's killer bee character from SNL. Thanks for the "crudo credo"-Thou shalt not drink wine without water or the wages of alcohol sans agua is dehydration.

If you believe that the apostolic succession of the papacy is what gives it validity, you need to believe that the pope has the authority to teach without error on matters of faith and morals, and can truly represent Christ on earth. Otherwise, there isn't much point to having a pope, or any way to be certain of the truth of the Church's teachings.

In any case, the Nicene Creed only hits the high points, and shouldn't be taken as the ONLY basis for the Catholic faith. Or else, the Protestants who use it as well will be pretty annoyed to find that they've become Catholics against their will! :-)
