While I was furtively ordering from Fresh Direct–I mean I do live a block or so from Zabars, Citarella and Fairway, but it was raining–I went to look for recipes and there, lo and behold were several recipes from cookbooks by…Crescent Dragonwagon, who is, as was recently mentioned in this very blog, Charlotte Zolotow’s daughter! And there is a Charlotte Zolotow website, set up by Crescent Dragonwagon. click here. That photo is of Charlotte Zolotow, her daughter, Ellen (now Crescent Dragonwagon–I really do love that name and just want an excuse to keep writing it) and her son Stephen. Then I discovered that Crescent Dragonwagon started a writers colony with her late husband, Ned Shank. It’s called the Writers Colony at Dairy Hollow and it’s in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. And there is a Dairy Hollow Soup and Bread Cookbook. By Crescent Dragonwagon. All of this because I was too lazy to go to the market on my two feet. Thank you, Crescent Dragonwagon.
