My very short micro "How I learned to cook" at kaffe in katmandu compliments of the indomitable maitre d' Monsieur Marcus Speh~

thank you, susan, i love this one. i'm grateful that you donated your mini-memoir to the kaffe where we've had a flurry of great pieces lately.
for newcomers to fictionaut: you're very welcome at the kaffe, too - kaffe in katmandu is a loose collective of tolerant, quirky creatives, many of them writers. kaffe members can post their work freely and easily.
we also have a <a href="http://www.fictionaut.com/groups/kaffe-in-katmandu">group</a> here on fictionaut. to turn to the kaffe side, leave your email & the information that you come via fictionaut <a href="http://kaffeinkatmandu.tumblr.com/ask">here</a>.
A quick clarification: actually this piece I have up in the kaffe is not a "mini-memoir" but a "mini-story." My life has never been as exciting as the women I write about. Dang!
I'll have to try harder!
But thank you Marcus for giving me the benefit of the doubt!!!
i'm not convinced, susan. ;-))
I have never wrapped my body in strips of silk or beaten an adultery with 2 eggs. I lead a very boring life! But if Marcus chooses to glamorize my existence, well, who am I to complain!
Loved this, Susan. Very quirky and pure.
