Thanks! For once I have finally made something cheaper than -- no, almost as cheaply as I could buy it. The meat was roughly $5, the wine was maybe $6 and I didn't use it all, the rice and herbs were negligible, and I'm going to get two meals out of it.
Thanks also for the hugs. My mom is frazzled but accepting; the hardest thing for her is knowing how much she's "an outsider" because she lives far from the cousins. The cousins will be torn apart for a bit. They'll rally, but this season will be hard. I think they're going to pull the plug tomorrow and that will mean he shares the date with my (and their) grandma, who passed away 12/15/2002.
