Last spring, in the central, frigid days of March, I had the pleasure of sharing an 8×8 foot cabin for 3 days and nights with the hilarious Karen Barry Schwarz, who had been a stranger prior. Did not get much shut-eye as Karen warms up around midnight and her humor hones on a half-sleeping funny bone.
The powers that be had no trouble matching us as cabin-mates seeing as we were the only two women on this rock-n-roll-esque retreat. Minus the verboten drugs and alcohol. (No wonder I couldn’t sleep.)
(Styling by me. Can you believe this is a job? For French Meadow, a very cool, all organic baking outfit.)
Did you know that Bread is Dangerous?
Let Karen enlighten you.
Ed Moose Savage‘s new album on the Guinea Pig label includes Bread is Dangerous and the “monumental hit” Iceberg Lettuce.
At the end of our weekended close encounter Karen said to me, “I was dreading you.” Ha.
The Lunch Encounter 
Haha, I was dreading you, my dear, my darling, and you turned out to be an instant friend. I didn’t even have to add water. Just contraband. Which you supplied. How lovely of you! Everything about you was lovely, actually, you didn’t even snore. : )
xx’s and oo’s, I have missed you ever since.
