It's COD, learn it.

I found out when my Chef of the Day project will be (in short- a lunch for 16- but really it's the event my entire culinary school education has been leading up to) yesterday and I sent out an email to the people I want to invite to the lunch. I worked for a while and wrote quite a lot and ended up with something I thought was heartfelt and meaningful and truly described exactly how I am feeling about all this (excitement, terror, shock) and sent it to 12 people who mean very, very much to me. The responses I got back were so overwhelming positive and full of love that I almost started to cry. Until I got to my sister's.

My aunt said:
Dear Lily,
I will be there come hell or high water. Tom will also and I am guessing Isabel, but I'll let her speak for herself. I'm excited, not nervously of course, but optimistically and joyously! And I am flattered to be among the chosen.
Maude

And my Mom:
HI HONEY

HOORAY!!

I WILL BE THERE, FOR CHEF OF THE DAY!!

LOVE, MOMMY

And the I'm so prouds and the we love yous continued on down the line until Susannah's:

Voldi-Pope. As in Voldemort as a Pope. Exactly. Thank you.
