Frangipane Croissants Again

Plot anyd Duck hadn't been to Tartine a.k.a. The Carb Crackhouse in a long time. Famed Children's Book Author Nguyen Tyrone Goldwasser O'Flaherty met them there and there was a lot of catching up to do.

She's planning a long trip to Guatemala and Mexico over Christmas and New Years, involving many bus trips and markets and other stops along the way, so Plot and Duck had to give her all their favorite places to see. Apparently new boyfriend C-7 (which stands for Seven Dates Already) will join her in Puebla, Oaxaca and Mexico City for some of that time, which shows a favorable trend.

But Rachel (her other name)'s Mom will possibly not make it 'til Rachel gets back. Her mom is in hospice now, no longer able to talk intelligibly and has pretty much stopped eating. Rachel is making her peace with it and plans to spend the next few weeks seeing her mom every day, before her trip. The last thing her Mom said that Rachel could understand was: "Where are we going?"

TIAPOS was fun last night. Looks like a Christmas Party must get planned and Plottie is on it.
