...high price to neighborhood residents eager to show their support for the past president, who the liberal American media “just didn’t understand.” I should mention that these are largely the same individuals who put white crosses in their yards every spring bearing the phrase “He is Risen!” within clear view of the street, so it’s really no surprise that the “Welcome Home” signs fared so well.

...months, she communicated recipes through phone calls, despite my insistence that none of them could be carried out without a real wok. My little sister visited me last spring and hauled along a suitcase of edibles, which included packets of dried herbs and berries prepared by my mother (and still sitting in my cabinet to this day).
