Shuna.  She has a blog that I love to read.  She is truly a genius when it comes to food and words.  And she’s open and honest and just a lovely person.  Her newest blog entry is about October and I think she encapsulates it perfectly.  She once had a birthday party for me on the rare and elusive 29th, it was delicious.  I remember pot de cremes at her house and cardomom cookies that were insane and I remember when I first met her at Aziza on my 3rd (about) date with Max – Ah, such fond memories!  Now she lives far away.  I wish we could go to London just to have  a meal with her.  Maybe someday…
