Ah, that old bat is somewhere inside you, like a bacterium. On the liver issue, years ago I read in the Globe that many people at a summer family reunion fell ill after eating a family speciality that was made of chicken livers and bananas, and that had been driven in the trunk of someone's car from Philadelphia to Boston on a hot summer day. If you still have an appetite after all that, I can let you know that the chicken salad at Dave's Fresh Pasta is pretty good.
I think you ought to take a close look at that cookbook. Are you sure it isn't a guide to poisoning your friends and family? Or did Joan misread and mistranslate it?
Joan sounds like a piece of work. So sorry to hear she botched a Spanish tortilla though those who know say they’re not so easy to make. She was also the one who allowed Jorge Luis Borges to strike you either his cane, right? Wonder what kind of childhood she had.
"High Weird British" made me laugh.

Too funny, Marjie! Did your Granny perhaps watch Arsenic and Old Lace???? :)

Not only perfectly hilarious but I could also feel that person! And then the photograph too.
Loved it.
Oh boy…bad cooks are memorable! But lime on chicken?!? Beats all!!

Eclectic recipes or biological warfare? Is it possible she worked for MI-6 or the CIA at one point?
I'm sure the beagle would have been willing to help out with the "off" liver as well, but I think you made a wise choice in declining lunch.
The spiced apple with apple spice tea sounds like a top dessert choice.
