Lindsey's Luscious

"At that time, Antony Fortuny still suspected that part of the boy's mental deficiencies were due to his diet, which was far too influenced by his mother's French cooking. It was a well-known fact that the richness of buttery foods led to moral ruin and confusion of the intellect." --The Shadow of the Wind, Carlos Ruiz Zafon

About Me

My photo
Joy Bugaloo
I am a college professor (speech communication, media and film studies) in a small town in northern New York on Lake Champlain, across from Burlington, VT and just south of Quebec. I live on 1.2 acres in a 117-year-old house formerly known as The Ponderosa Horse Farm where I can have big gardens and lots of animals (two dogs and four cats at present).
