P.S. I called Prunes to try to make reservations. I have to call back. Can I hope that I will not be disappointed? If you have not read the book, it’s pretty good.

I tried to request the book through my library up here. But all the copies are out. I may have to actually buy it. I am eating at WD50 (Wylie Dufrene’s place) next week so I’m excited to have some bizarre but good food.
